One of the most potentially destructive – and expensive – failures in a piping network is a hidden leak. These can happen anywhere. One of the most effective ways to find a hidden leak is by using acoustic leak detection services from licensed professionals. Piping materials, the size of a break, the volume of the leak – all create different sounds and have their own unique acoustic signature. Using specialised and dedicated equipment, a knowledgeable operator can track and identify a leak based on its signature and recommend a remedy for repair.

How Hidden Leaks Happen
Pipe networks, structures, and the ground all age – leaks are bound to develop. Piping is usually quite durable, and a good installation can prevent damage for a long time, but when a leak does occur, it may be hard to find – most of the piping will be buried in the ground, making acoustic water leak detection the primary way to locate the problem.
How to Know If You Need Water Leak Detection Services
Hidden leaks can become evident when escaping liquid is found, either on the surrounding structure, or the ground. If you notice any of the following warning signs, then it is time to get an acoustic water leak detection specialist to investigate:
- Damp patch in lawn or garden that never seems to dry out
- Area of lawn unusually lush and green from the constant extra watering
- Outdoor walkway sinking or dislocated due to soft wet ground
- Concrete floor stained or settled and cracked
- and of course – an increased water bill
If any of these seem to be happening, it is time to call on our acoustic leak detection services.

How Our Acoustic Leak Detection Services Work
The flow of water in an unbroken pipe is typically quiet. However, water will generate noise when it hits an obstacle, a rough edge, or when it leaves a pipe. Under normal circumstances, this would be when a tap is opened. Noise is the key to detecting water leak underground – which is how our leak detection specialists will be able to pick up on its characteristics. This acoustic signature will be detected by specialised listening equipment and then analysed by our technicians. Always avoid digging up your own lawn or knocking into a wall to find a leak. Once we locate the leak, we will work out a remedy, propose it to you, and go from there.
