Plumbers Who Trace Hidden Leaks Under the Slab in Algester, Brisbane
The water bill lands and it's nearly double the last one. Nobody's filling a pool, the garden hasn't been watered in weeks, and yet the dial keeps ticking over with every tap in the house turned off. Then you notice a warm, damp patch spreading across the tiles in the hallway.
Much of Algester was built through the 1970s and 80s, so plenty of homes here are brick on concrete slabs with copper water lines running underneath. The ground across this part of Brisbane's south is largely reactive clay, which swells after heavy rain and shrinks through dry winters. Over decades that movement stresses joints under the slab, and a pinhole leak in a hot water line can run for months before it shows. Established gums and street trees add root pressure on older clay sewer connections, and the sloping streets mean stormwater from higher blocks often ends up in the yards below.
Fallon Solutions finds these problems without ripping up half the house. Our licensed Algester plumbers use thermal imaging and acoustic listening gear for leak detection, then repair the pipe and explain what caused it, so you're not paying for guesswork.

Our Comprehensive Algester Plumbing Services
Slab-era homes, ageing copper and clay soil shape most of the work our plumbing specialists do in Algester. Many of these jobs start with a single symptom, like a high bill or a slow drain, and turn out to have a cause buried out of sight. These are the services local households book with us most:
- Leak Detection: Concealed leaks in slabs, walls and underground lines located with thermal imaging and acoustic devices, so we only open up the floor or wall where the fault actually is.
- Hot Water Repairs: Leaking relief valves, failed elements and tired gas burners fixed on the older electric and gas units common in Algester homes.
- Sewer and Drain Plumbing: Cracked or shifted clay sewer pipes repaired where seasonal ground movement has pulled the joints apart and let roots in.
- Stormwater Drainage: Pits, downpipes and surface drains sorted for sloping blocks where runoff from uphill neighbours pools against the house.
- Tap Repairs and Installation: Dripping taps, worn cartridges and noisy mixers repaired or replaced in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms.
