Warning signs
Most leaks stay out of sight for weeks. These are the clues people usually notice first.
Usage is up but nothing has changed at home.
Water is escaping on your side of the meter.
Bubbling paint or swollen skirting near a wet area.
A weak shower or a cistern that fills slowly.
Often a flexi hose, tap or waste fitting giving way.
Grass that stays wet in dry weather can mean a pipe leak.
Water pouring out, not seeping?
Turn the water off at the meter and treat it as a burst pipe.
Try this first
Turn off every tap and make sure the washing machine, dishwasher, irrigation and pool top up are not running.
Find the meter near the front boundary, take a photo of the numbers and look for a small dial that spins when water flows.
Leave it 30 to 60 minutes with no water used. If the reading has moved, water is going somewhere on the property.

Leak detection guide
A leak you can see, like a dripping tap, is easy to deal with. The costly ones are the leaks you cannot see. Water running inside a wall cavity, under a shower base or along a pipe in the yard can go unnoticed for months while it adds to your bill and soaks into timber, plaster and soil. Finding the source quickly limits the damage and usually keeps the repair small.
In most homes we find the same culprits. Braided flexi hoses under vanities and sinks perish with age and can weep at the crimp. Basin and sink wastes loosen and their seals give way. Cisterns leak through worn inlet valves or flush seals, often silently into the pan. Shower connections inside the wall can leak behind the tiles, which is why mould on the other side of a bathroom wall is worth checking.
We start with the meter, then work through the plumbing in sections. Closing isolation valves to individual fixtures, separating the hot side from the cold and checking the line from the meter to the house lets us narrow the search before anything is opened up. Low pressure is another clue, although it can also come from a partly closed valve, a blocked aerator or a faulty pressure limiting valve, so we check those too.
The water service often runs under lawns, gardens, paths or driveways. Older galvanised and copper lines can corrode or crack, and tree roots and ground movement strain the joints. Once the section is found we expose the pipe by hand, repair it and backfill. Under concrete, we talk you through repairing it in place or running a new line.
Renting? Report the leak to your property manager and ask them to send it to Torna. We regularly work with Brisbane agents and keep both tenant and agent in the loop.
You get a fixed price before the repair starts. Hard to find leaks may need an assessment fee, credited if the repair goes ahead, and every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. QBCC licence 15519957.

FAQ
What people ask us before we start looking for a leak.
The usual signs are a higher water bill, a meter that moves when no water is used, damp or mouldy walls, a wet cupboard under a sink and soggy ground in the yard. The meter test on this page is a good first check.
Sometimes. We always start with checks that do not damage anything, and many leaks turn out to be at a fitting we can reach. If a section must be opened, we show you where and why first, and nothing is opened without your okay.
It depends on access, where the leak is and how much needs opening up. You get a fixed price for the repair before any work starts. Hard to find leaks may need an assessment fee, credited if the repair goes ahead.
Yes. We isolate the line between the meter and the house, narrow down the section, then expose the pipe by hand and repair it. Under concrete, a new line can be the better option.
A leak is one cause, but so are partly closed valves, blocked tap aerators and a failing pressure limiting valve. We test the pressure and check each of these.
Tell your property manager or landlord, as repairs are usually arranged through them. They can send the job straight to us and we keep tenant and agent updated.
