Acoustic Noise Loggers & Monitoring in British Columbia
Acoustic noise loggers are sensors deployed across a zone that listen — usually overnight when the network is quiet — and report consistent leak noise back to the utility. Temporary deployments survey a district quickly; permanent installations turn leak detection from a one-time survey into continuous monitoring that flags new leaks as they develop.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.

Acoustic Noise Loggers & Monitoring — FAQ
Loggers record sound levels when the network is quietest, because a true leak produces a consistent noise while demand-related sound comes and goes. Loggers that repeatedly hear steady noise — and correlate it with neighbours — flag a likely leak for a survey crew to pinpoint.

Pinpoint leaks on buried distribution and transmission mains without excavating the whole street.
Recover treated water lost to leaks before it reaches customers — and target the worst losses first.
Walk the network listening at every valve and hydrant to surface hidden background leakage.
Two sensors on the main, one mathematical fix — leak position to within inches on long runs.
Large-diameter supply mains carry huge volumes — a single leak is a major, hard-to-hear loss.
Divide the network into measured zones so rising night flow flags leakage early.
Right-sizing pressure cuts both leakage volume and the rate of new breaks.
Hydrants and valves are the network's listening posts — and assets worth checking themselves.
Before a main renewal program, know which segments are actually leaking and failing.
Locate the break, find any related leakage, and document the failure for the record.
Know exactly where the buried main, valves and connections run before any work.
