Acoustic Leak DetectionHear What You Cannot See
Using advanced acoustic listening technology, our certified technicians can detect and pinpoint water leaks hidden deep within pipes, under concrete slabs, and underground - without any excavation or property damage.
How Acoustic Leak Detection Works
When water escapes from a pressurized pipe, it creates distinctive sound frequencies as it passes through the leak opening and contacts surrounding materials. Our sophisticated acoustic equipment amplifies these sounds up to 1000x, allowing technicians to "hear" leaks that are completely invisible.
Ground Microphone Survey
Sensitive ground microphones are placed at intervals along the pipe route to detect leak sounds.
Acoustic Correlation
Correlators analyze sound travel time from multiple sensors to triangulate the exact leak position.
Precise Location Marking
The leak location is marked on the surface, typically accurate to within 10cm of the actual source.
Sound Wave Analysis
Different leak types produce unique sound signatures. Our technicians are trained to identify and interpret these patterns for accurate diagnosis.
