South Brisbane spans high-density inner suburbs such as South Bank, West End, Woolloongabba, and Annerley through to Sunnybank, Mount Gravatt, Logan, and Browns Plains. Its mix of apartments, heritage cottages, Queenslanders, and aging 1980s and 1990s estates creates a wide range of leak risks, from balcony waterproofing and shared infrastructure issues to older supply line failures.
Australian Leak Detection has served South Brisbane and Logan for over 30 years. We understand the region’s apartment complexity, heritage homes, subtropical conditions, and aging residential stock. We use non-invasive leak detection methods and are ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified.

ALD is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified, with experience across Urban Utilities and Logan City Council Water service areas. We understand South Brisbane’s apartments, strata buildings, heritage cottages, and aging outer-suburban estates, from South Bank and West End to Sunnybank, Logan, and Browns Plains. Our non-invasive leak detection helps identify balcony waterproofing issues, shared plumbing leaks, pump system faults, and aging supply line failures, supporting pre-purchase decisions, strata repairs, and cost control.
Absolutely. Balcony waterproofing failures are common in multi-storey buildings. A pre-purchase inspection identifies problems before you commit to a high-value purchase. It is particularly important if the building is 10+ years old. Balcony waterproofing membrane lifespan is typically 15-20 years - buildings older than this often have degraded waterproofing. A pre-purchase inspection reveals whether structural remediation costs are likely.
Potentially. Homes built in the 1980s are now 40+ years old. Original supply lines are reaching end-of-life. We can diagnose whether this is age-related corrosion or a specific failure point and advise on repair timing. Many Mount Gravatt properties built in the 1980s are now experiencing simultaneous failures in aging supply lines - understanding that your pipes are at critical age helps you plan proactive replacement rather than reactive emergency repairs.
It depends on whether the leak is in your individual unit plumbing (owner's responsibility) or shared building infrastructure (body corporate). We identify where the leak is located, and that clarifies responsibility. If the leak is in a balcony or shared wall, body corporate responsibility is typically clear - but if it is within a unit wall (like behind a shower), determining responsibility requires expert assessment. Our diagnosis gives you clarity for discussions with the body corporate or your insurer.
