The stain is not the leak
In Ashgrove, Paddington, Bardon and the inner north, a shower often sits on a timber floor over a living room. Water can travel along the joists and show up a room away from the tray.
Brisbane leak testing
Shower leak testing in Brisbane.
A stain on a Brisbane ceiling is often a wet area upstairs, not a paint problem. We test the shower before anyone opens the wall.

Older membranes, and none at all
Post-war houses in Wynnum, Coorparoo, Holland Park and Camp Hill still have showers that were never detailed to today's standard. A test tells you whether the membrane has failed, or was never there.
Units as well as houses
Body corporate jobs in New Farm, West End, Kangaroo Point and the inner city need a report before a lot of demolition. We isolate the shower, the floor waste and the wall junctions rather than blaming the unit next door on a guess.
Where this page covers
Brisbane
Inner Brisbane, the west (Toowong, Indooroopilly, Chapel Hill), the north (Chermside, Hamilton, Ascot) and the south side through to Mount Gravatt and Carindale. Logan is taken when the job is a leak test, not a general call-out across the city.
Methods stay as non-invasive as the bathroom allows: visual checks, a moisture meter, a controlled water test, and thermal imaging where a temperature difference is useful. The result is a written report, not a suggestion to rip the bathroom out.
What you get
A site visit and a written report. Thermal imaging is used where a temperature difference helps show hidden moisture. It is not used on its own, and it is not a promise that every leak will be found.
