About Ground Microphone
Ground microphones are highly sensitive acoustic sensors mounted on a tripod or handheld probe that make direct contact with the ground or building surface to detect leak vibrations.
Unlike airborne listening devices, ground microphones isolate vibrations transmitted through solid materials, making them exceptionally effective at detecting the sound of water escaping from buried or embedded pipes.
The operator walks a systematic grid pattern over the suspected pipe route, listening through noise-cancelling headphones for the characteristic leak sound and noting the loudest point on the surface.
Best For
- Underground residential service line leaks
- Slab leak detection in basements and parking garages
- Confined space surveys in pipe chases and utility vaults
- Small-diameter pipe leak location
