About Acoustic Leak Detection
Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive listening devices and ground microphones to amplify the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes.
Water under pressure escaping through a breach generates a characteristic sound that travels through pipe walls and the surrounding medium.
Our technicians are trained to distinguish leak sounds from background building noise, and our equipment filters out extraneous frequencies to isolate the leak signature.
This method is highly effective for pressurised water supply lines and is the primary technique for locating underground and slab-embedded leaks.
Best For
- Underground water main and service line leaks
- Slab leak detection in concrete foundations
- Plumbing leak location within wall chases
- Municipal water distribution system leak surveys
- Fire sprinkler system leak detection
