Acoustic Leak Detection Specialists

Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive electronic listening equipment to detect the sound frequencies generated by escaping water. This allows suspected leak locations to be narrowed down and helps reduce unnecessary exploratory work.

How Acoustic Leak Detection Works

Pressurised water escaping from a pipe creates vibration and noise that travels through pipework, soil, concrete and building materials. Specialist acoustic equipment amplifies these sounds, allowing leak locations to be investigated and compared across multiple points.

Common Applications For Acoustic Leak Detection

• Underground water leaks.
• Water leaks beneath concrete slabs.
• Concealed pipe leaks within walls.
• Commercial water leak investigations.
• Strata leak investigations.
• High water bill investigations.
• Pressure loss investigations.
• Mains water service leaks.
• Apartment and unit complex leaks.
• Pipe tracing and fault finding.

Acoustic Leak Detection & Other Diagnostic Methods

Acoustic leak detection is often combined with thermal imaging, moisture meters, pressure testing, pipe locating equipment and visual inspections to build the clearest possible understanding of the issue.

What Acoustic Leak Detection Can And Cannot Do

Acoustic leak detection is highly effective for locating many hidden water leaks, however factors such as pipe material, depth, surrounding noise and water pressure can influence results. Multiple testing methods often provide the highest level of confidence.
