Review Category: Google / Cairns Leak Detection

Fantastic service and a couple of great blokes! Found the issue quickly and was also able to fix an issue with our toilet as qell

Darcy and Josh provided some of the best trade service we have experienced — a well-deserved 5‑star review.

Excellent communication: they organised a visit for the next day and provided a clear price guide.

Arrived on time and worked efficiently.

Located the leak, took the time to explain exactly why it occurred, showed me the issue, and outlined their repair plan (which they completed immediately in the one visit!).

After finishing, they walked me through all the checks to ensure there were no further leaks.

Very reasonable invoice $.

It was far more time- and cost‑effective to have a professional team detect the leak, fix it, and verify there were no more issues—all in one visit.

Highly recommend Darcy and Josh. Explained everything really well before during and after the job at our place. On time, polite and cleaned up the site on completion which was great!

Absolutely Outstanding Service – Don’t Bother Calling Anyone Else!

After weeks of sleepless nights caused by a persistent water hammer noise every time I turned off the tap, I initially contacted a plumber who appeared at the top of Google search results. That plumber claimed the issue was likely behind a wall and may require breaking it down—possibly even replacing my entire 20-year-old hot water system. The quote and uncertainty left me overwhelmed, especially since I live in an apartment and needed a detailed report just to get body corporate approval.

Feeling defeated, I almost gave up… until I came across Cairns Leak Detection. They didn’t show up on the first page of Google, but their nearly perfect 5-star reviews caught my eye—and unlike many others, the reviews genuinely felt authentic.

Though I had to wait three weeks for an appointment (a sign of how in-demand they are), it was so worth it. Peter, Darcy, and Josh arrived and immediately identified the issue: a faulty pressure valve that just needed replacing. Within minutes, the noise that had been ruining my sleep was completely gone!

They didn’t stop there. I casually mentioned a few other annoyances—like a weak tap and a partially blocked drain—and without hesitation, they fixed everything on the spot. I was amazed at how efficiently they worked and how pleasant they were the entire time.

Then came the final surprise—the bill. It was less than $300! I was honestly in shock and even offered to pay more because the value they delivered far exceeded what they charged. They graciously declined.

After recently being burned by a mechanic who overcharged me nearly $2,000, this experience was the complete opposite. Cairns Leak Detection is a rare gem: professional, honest, caring, and incredibly competent. I’ve lived in both Cairns and Sydney, and I can confidently say this is the best plumbing service I’ve ever received.

If you’re considering them—don’t hesitate. Book them in advance and wait if you have to. It’ll be the best decision you make.

Fantastic experience with Darcy and Josh. They were punctual, fantastic communicators and fixed our leak in great time. As someone who does not have any trade knowledge, I was incredibly thankful for Darcy’s transparency throughout. Highly recommend Cairns Leak Detection!

Highly recommend Darcy and Josh at Cairns Leak Detection. Prompt return call when I left a message and gave me an idea of the cost before they came. Found the leak under an outdoor concrete slab and then gave me suggestions as to what to do next. Thank you both for excellent service.

We were losing 150 litres of water per hour. So I called Cairns Leak Detection and it turned out there were two leaks. I was impressed how quickly they found and repaired the leaks. If we ever have another leak, I’ll be calling these guys again. Highly recommended!

Cannot recommend these guys more. Efficient, experts, friendly and very reasonably priced. Thank you.
