Why leaks are hard to find in Eagleby
Eagleby is a suburb in the City of Logan, about 34 km south-east of the Brisbane CBD, where the Albert River meets the Logan River. About 13,600 people live here. Once sugar cane country, with a mill that closed in 1943, it grew quickly from the late 1970s with new schools and a shopping centre.
Most homes were built from the late 1970s onwards on concrete slabs, so copper pipe joints, hot water connections and shower waterproofing are now well past the age when leaks start. Many homes are rentals, where a slow leak can go unreported until damage shows. The first sign is often a higher water bill, warm or damp floor tiles, mould or loose shower tiles, or a meter that never stops. We find the exact source, so only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.

High Logan water bill?
Logan City Council supplies water in Eagleby. Leaks on your side of the meter are the owner's responsibility. If a hidden leak in the underground supply pipe has pushed up your bill, council's concealed leak remission can reduce it for eligible homes, once every three years, if you apply within three months with a licensed plumber's report of the repair. Our report shows where the leak was and what caused it, which supports your application. Download our free leak credit claim checklist.

Eagleby leak detection FAQs
How much does leak detection cost in Eagleby?
It starts from $398 inc. GST for the first hour on site, including thermal imaging, acoustic and tracer gas equipment and an insurance-ready PDF report. Extra time, if needed, is $168 per hour. Most single leaks are found within the first hour, and we give you a free phone quote before we book.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then check your water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is escaping somewhere. Other signs include a higher Logan water bill, damp walls or skirting boards, a musty smell, mould or warm spots on a tiled floor.
Do you offer emergency leak detection in Eagleby?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 on 1300 346 353. Same-day appointments are often available across Eagleby, Beenleigh, Mount Warren Park and Logan.
Can you find a leak under a concrete slab without digging it all up?
Yes. We use thermal imaging, acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas to pinpoint the leak through the slab, then mark the exact spot. Only a small area needs to be opened for the repair.
Can you inspect a rental without the owner being there?
Yes. We arrange access with the tenant or property manager, find the leak, and send the report straight to the owner and manager so repairs can be approved quickly.
Will my report help with an insurance claim or a high water bill?
Yes. Every job includes a PDF report with photos, readings and the cause of the leak. Insurers use it to assess resultant damage claims, and it supports an application to Logan City Council for help with a bill caused by a hidden leak.
