In the hustle and bustle of daily life, a small leak might seem like a minor inconvenience, just a drip or two, nothing to worry about. But the reality is that even the smallest of leaks can escalate into a significant issue if left unattended. At Our Plumber, we’ve seen it all in our 30+ years of experience across Brisbane. We’re here to shed light on why taking immediate action on leak detection is essential and how our team can offer peace of mind, prompt service, and high quality results.
The hidden costs of delaying leak detection
A leaky tap, pipe, or any hidden water source can cost more than you think. Here’s why acting quickly is crucial:
- Escalating water bills: Even the smallest, seemingly insignificant leaks can cause water bills to rise significantly. Every drip adds up, and over weeks or months, the increase in costs can be scary.
- Damage to your property: Water damage can affect floors, walls, ceilings, and even the foundation of your property. This can lead to costly repairs and structural issues if the leak isn’t addressed swiftly.
- Health hazards from mould: Where there’s moisture, mould is not far behind. The dampness created by leaks is an ideal breeding ground for these harmful substances, which can pose serious health risks, particularly for children, elderly family members, and those with respiratory conditions.
- Potential structural weaknesses: Over time, water damage can compromise the structural integrity of a home or business, leading to more extensive and expensive repairs.
Our Plumber offers comprehensive leak detection services to help you avoid these issues altogether. With over three decades in the business, we’ve mastered spotting leaks quickly and efficiently, saving our customers both time and money.

- Unexplained increase in water bill: If your water bill suddenly spikes without an apparent reason, it could indicate a hidden leak.
- Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors: Discolouration or damp patches can be a sign of a leak inside your walls.
- Musty odours: If you notice a persistent musty smell, it could indicate mould growth due to a hidden leak.
- Low water pressure: Unusual drops in water pressure can be another clue that there’s a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
- Sound of running water: Hearing water when all taps are off? This can often point to a concealed leak.
