Frequently Asked Questions
What is acoustic leak detection?
Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive ground microphones and correlator equipment to listen for the sound of water escaping from a pressurised pipe. By comparing readings at multiple points, our engineers triangulate the exact leak location - often to within 30cm - without any excavation.
Will you need to dig up my floor?
In most cases, no. Our non-invasive methods - acoustic listening, thermal imaging and hydrogen tracing - allow us to locate leaks without lifting floors or opening walls. Once located, we provide a precise spot for repair, minimising disruption.
Does insurance cover acoustic leak detection?
Most buildings and contents insurance policies include Trace & Access cover, which pays for the cost of locating a leak. We provide a detailed report suitable for insurance claims, including the method used, equipment deployed and location identified.
