Worried About a Water Leak?
Have you noticed an unexplained spike in your water bill or received a notice from the council about excessive water usage?
A water leak won’t fix itself! Underground pipes, hidden wall leaks, and ceiling leaks can lead to skyrocketing bills, structural damage, and costly repairs.
As trusted leak detection specialists on the Gold Coast, Tweed and Tamborine we use advanced, noninvasive technology to locate and repair leaks quickly—often on the same day—saving you time, money, and hassle.
Don’t let hidden leaks cause costly damage. Schedule your appointment now for fast, accurate, and affordable leak detection.
We are renowned for rapidly detecting and repairing all water leaks.
Water leaks can be outside (under paving, beneath lawns, near water tanks) or inside (inside walls, near toilets, under flooring, in the ceiling).
Water leaks are dangerous as they slowly undermine and damage infrastructure, attract termites, and lead to high water bills.
✔ Check your water meter regularly for potential leaks—early detection saves water and money.
✔ field technicians are experts in their detection. Our technicians use state-of-the-art acoustic leak detection technology for pinpoint accuracy. You can trust in their skills and knowledge.
Let’s face it: water leaks are common. Where there are water pipes, rainwater tank pumps and sewer drains, leaks can happen. The problem is that some leaks are hidden, and you may not realise the issue until the damage is done.
🔹 Reduced or fluctuating water pressure at taps
🔹 Lower-than-normal hot water temperature at your taps
🔹 Higher than usual water bills from the City of Gold Coast or Tweed Shire Council

🔹 Cracking in concrete or paved areas due to water damage
🔹 Wet or damp carpet in unexpected areas
🔹 Musty, mouldy odours lingering in your home
🔹 Mould stains on walls or tile grout indicating excess moisture
🔹 Hearing running water when no taps are turned on
🔹 Water meter keeps spinning when all taps are off

Donna Cushen2024-06-06 We couldn’t have been happier, prompt service and great advice . I can highly recommend them ! David Linnegar2024-04-23 From the initial contact to the plumbers getting out on site the whole process to fix a leak on the propoerty side of the water meter was A plus. Gary was brilliant in answering the multitude of questions via email I sent before we got the visit locked in. Lachy and Ben arrived on site exactly when we were told they would and identified the location of the leak and had it fixed super fast. They even answered questions for me about other works I wanted done to the house so will be reaching out again in the very near future to get the guttering on the whole house replaced. Highly recommend the team! Ben Jones2024-03-12 It is a nice change to deal with a trade group that charges fairly, turns up when they’re supposed to and provides good advice and high quality workmanship. We had a new filter tap, replacement Insinkerator and replacement gas cooktop supplied and installed and we're very happy with the products and the installation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Whywait for your plumbing/gas fitting requirements. Scott GC2024-01-10 I cannot fault the service provided by Gary from Whywait Plumbing Services. He responded early on a Sunday morning to an urgent request to fix a broken tap (which turned out to be quite a complicated repair job) and worked on it until it was completely fixed. I'm extremely grateful for Gary's professionalism and expertise and wouldn't consider calling anyone else. Thank you, Gary!! Robert Hurlock2023-12-07 Good friendly service, did a great job thanks Keli Magerman2022-12-07 Gary from Why Wait Plumbing completed my Water Efficiency Certificate.
