Acoustic Leak Detection
Advanced acoustic sensors that can detect the sound of water leaks through concrete slabs with pinpoint accuracy.
Acoustic leak detection is a non-invasive technology that uses highly sensitive acoustic sensors to listen for the unique sound frequencies produced by water leaks. When water escapes from a pipe under pressure, it creates distinctive sounds that can be detected through concrete slabs, walls, and soil.
Our technicians use specialized equipment, including ground microphones, acoustic amplifiers, and frequency filters, to isolate and pinpoint these sounds, allowing us to locate leaks with remarkable accuracy without the need for destructive testing or excavation.
The Acoustic Detection Process:
- Initial assessment of the property and suspected leak areas
- Elimination of background noise and interference
- Systematic scanning of the area with acoustic sensors
- Frequency analysis to distinguish leak sounds from other noises
- Correlation of acoustic data to pinpoint the exact leak location
- Marking and documentation of the leak location for repair
Benefits of Acoustic Leak Detection
Non-Invasive Technology
Detects leaks without the need for destructive testing, excavation, or removal of concrete slabs.
Pinpoint Accuracy
Locates leaks with remarkable precision, often within inches of the actual leak location.
Detects Hidden Leaks
Can identify leaks that are completely hidden under concrete slabs or behind walls, with no visible signs of water damage.
Minimal Disruption
The detection process is quiet, clean, and causes no disruption to your property or daily activities.
Cost-Effective
By precisely locating leaks, repairs can be targeted and minimal, reducing the cost of both detection and repair.
Works Through Various Materials
Effective through concrete, asphalt, soil, and various other materials commonly found in residential, commercial, and government properties.
When to Use Acoustic Leak Detection
When you suspect a slab leak but there are no visible signs
When you have unexplained increases in water bills or water meter movement
When you hear the sound of running water but can't locate it
For preventive inspections to catch leaks before they cause damage
When other detection methods have been inconclusive or unsuccessful
When you want to minimize property disruption during leak detection
