Our Underground Leak Detection Process

1. Site Assessment

We start with a visual inspection and gather details about your property layout and symptoms.

2. Leak Detection

  • Acoustic Detection: Listens for leak sounds through soil and surfaces.
  • Tracer Gas Testing: A safe gas is pumped into the pipe system to detect escape points.
  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Locates buried pipes and voids with high precision.

3. Minimal Access & Marking

Once located, we mark the leak location for your plumber or contractor. In some cases, we can carry out the repair or assist with excavation.

Don't Ignore A Leaking Pipe

There are many reasons why people may need to have pipework replacements or water main replacements in their home or property.
Split pipes and burst pipes are a common nightmare for many people in their home. Once the pipes start to split they will just keep splitting and the fittings will start to burst here and there around the house, often at the worst time. All homeowners and even those renting should be aware of the signs of deteriorating pipes, bursting or splitting pipes, and suspect looking joints in your pipework which may cause at the very least a nuisance, and in more extreme cases a disaster incurring massive cost in damages to your building or posessions.
