Underground Infrastructure Leak Detection
We locate concealed underground pipe leaks without excavation for commercial, municipal, and strata systems. Precise. Fast. No property damage.
Detection Methods
How We Locate Underground Leaks
Our multi-method approach ensures accurate leak location regardless of pipe material, depth, or soil conditions. We combine methods to cross-validate results and eliminate false positives.
Acoustic Correlators
Sensors placed at two access points measure the time difference in leak-generated sound to calculate exact leak position.
Tracer Gas Injection
A safe, inert gas mixture is injected into the pipe. The gas escapes at the leak point and is detected at surface level with a sensitive sniffer.
Ground Microphones
Specialist listening devices amplify underground leak sounds, allowing technicians to walk the pipe route and identify noise peaks.
Pressure Testing
Pressure decay and zone isolation testing confirms leak presence, rate, and general location before acoustic confirmation.
Thermal Imaging
Surface temperature anomalies caused by escaping water are detected with infrared cameras, particularly effective for heat mains and shallow lines.
