Water Leak Detection for Pipe Repairs across Hervey Bay & Beyond

Using Water Leak Detection to Find Your Leak & Repair Your Pipe

If you have a leak in your plumbing – or a burst pipe – It can be difficult to find the source of the problem. That's where Bay City Plumbing comes in. We specialise in leak detection and have all the latest tools and equipment to help us locate the leak and repair it quickly and efficiently. In some instances, we may need to excavate the pipe to repair it, or if the pipe is in an area such as a driveway that would be costly to relay, we can run a new line. Either way, we will find the most cost-effective solution for you and keep you informed every step of the way.


We start by running a trace wire down your pipes. This allows us to pinpoint the general area where the leak is coming from. Then we use our listening equipment to zero in on the exact location of the leak. Once we've found the leak, we'll dig it up and repair it, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your plumbing is fixed. Contact Bay City Plumbing today to schedule a leak detection consultation.

Using Gas to Hone in on Your Leak

There are many ways to detect leaks in pipes, but one of the most effective is to use gas. By injecting gas into the pipes, Bay City Plumbing can quickly pinpoint the location of any leak, regardless of how small it may be. This allows us to repair the leak quickly and efficiently without causing any disruption to your home or business. In addition, using gas to detect leaks is much safer than other methods, such as excavation, which can damage property and pose a safety hazard. If you suspect a leak in your pipe, don't hesitate to call Bay City Plumbing.

Ground Penetrating Radar

If you've ever had a plumbing leak, you know how frustrating it can be. Water can cause a lot of damage to your home, and it can be difficult to find the source of the leak. That's where ground penetrating radar comes in. Ground penetrating radar is a tool that can be used to detect leaks beneath the surface of the ground. Bay City Plumbing is a leak detection company that specialises in using ground-penetrating radar to locate leaks. Here's what you need to know about this technology.


Ground penetrating radar works by sending out electromagnetic waves into the ground. These waves are then reflected back to the surface, where they are detected by a receiver. The waves travel at different speeds depending on the type of material they encounter. So, by analysing the reflection patterns, it's possible to identify potential leak locations.


Leak detection is a critical service that can save you a lot of time and money. If you think you might have a leak, don't hesitate to call Bay City Plumbing. We'll use our ground penetrating radar equipment to quickly and accurately locate the source of the leak so that we can fix it before any further damage is done.

CCTV Detection 

Have you ever had a plumbing leak that you just couldn't find? You've looked everywhere, but you just can't seem to locate the source of a crack, a blocked drain, or a break in stormwater and bigger pipes. This can be an extremely frustrating experience. But there's no need to worry because help is available in the form of CCTV detection.


Our cameras are inserted into your pipes, and then they're used to identify any areas that may be damaged. This process is extremely effective, and it can save you a lot of time and frustration. If you think you may have a leak, don't hesitate to reach out to Bay City Plumbing. We specialise in leak detection and would be more than happy to help you locate the source of your leak.

Locating Wiring & Communication Cables for Safe Pipe Repairs

A leaky pipe can cause a lot of damage to your home – not to mention it can be very costly to repair. But before you start digging around in your walls and floors to locate the leak, it's important to first locate any wiring or communication cables that may be in the way. Not only could you damage the cables if you're not careful, but you could also put yourself at risk of electrocution.


If you're not sure where to start, Bay City Plumbing can help. We have the experience and equipment to quickly and safely locate any wiring or communication cables that may be in your way. We'll also work with you to determine the best course of action for repairing the leak, taking into account any potential risks.
