Leak Detection
Our acoustic leak detection technology pinpoints water leaks with precision, minimising excavation and repair costs. We identify hidden leaks in pipes, stormwater, and sewer lines for residential and commercial properties. Our certified technicians provide detailed reports to ensure long-term solutions.
Blocked Drains
High-pressure jet rodding removes blockages caused by grease, debris, or tree roots without chemicals. We restore drainage systems in homes, businesses, and industrial sites efficiently. CCTV inspections ensure thorough cleaning and identify underlying issues.
Underground Locating
Ground-penetrating radar locates power, water, gas, and communication lines before excavation. We prevent costly damage during construction or landscaping projects. Certified by Dial Before You Dig, our reports meet industry compliance standards.
Storm Damage Repairs
Post-storm assessments identify damaged drains and underground utilities using CCTV and locating equipment. We prioritise rapid repairs to restore infrastructure and prevent further erosion. Services cover Brisbane and surrounding flood-prone areas.
CCTV Inspections
High-resolution cameras inspect pipes for cracks, blockages, or root intrusion. We provide real-time footage and detailed reports for accurate diagnosis. Ideal for pre-purchase checks, maintenance, and compliance documentation.

Report
Friendly and professional. Maurice used a special jet rod device to fix a problem that others have tried to do and failed. A snake device had been tried before and the next option was to dig everything up and replace. I used QLD Utility Locating on a recommendation and so happy I did. If the jet rod didn't work they were going use a drain locating camera to look or a gpr ground penetrating radar ( think that is what it was called) but wasn't required. Can't even start to explain the jet rod other than a couple of goes and it had cut through the obstruction. Several storms and downpours and all

Report
We've had continual problems with a storm water pipe at the side of our house. In heavy rain the down-pipe backed up and flooded the back door area under the house. Maurice located about 5 blockages! The drain was full of old silt and debris from the roof. The drain fed right to the street and Maurice put about 200 litres of water through high pressure rodder and removed the blockages. The pic shows the drain build up washing away.
