Find, Pinpoint & Mark the Exact Location of Underground Water Leaks

Our leak detection services can help you find and pinpoint the location of hidden leaks in underground water lines on both commercial and residential properties. By using a customized seven-step leak detection process and a combination of acoustic ground microphone, acoustic correlating logger, and Helium gas detection technology, we are capable of finding leaks in the following types of water lines and pipe materials.

Nine Common Signs of an Underground Water Leak

Before deciding whether or not a leak detection survey is needed, it is first necessary to look for one or more of the following signs to determine if a leak is actually present:

Wet Spots and/or Pooling

Wet Spot/Pool of Water in a Grassy Area

Wet spots in landscaped areas and/or water pooling on the ground surface.

Drop in Water Pressure

Water Line With Zero Pressure

A noticeable drop in water pressure or flow volume. Or, unexplained sudden increase in water use, consistently high water use, or water use that has been climbing at a fairly steady rate for several billing cycles.

Brown or Dead Spots

Brown or Dead Spots in Lawn

A portion of an irrigated area is suddenly brown, dead, or dying, when it used to be thriving (water pressure is too low to enable distant heads to pop up properly).

Cracking Asphalt

Cracking Asphalt Surface

Heaving or cracking of asphalt surfaces. 

Potholes

Large Pothole in Asphalt Surface

Potholes on asphalt surfaces.

Green, Moldy, or Soft Area

Large Patch of Green Grass

An area that is green, moldy, soft, or mossy surrounded by drier conditions.

Sinkholes

Large Sinkhole on an Asphalt Surface

Large Sinkholes on asphalt, grass, or other types of surfaces.

Dirty Water

Faucet With Rusty Water Flowing Out of It

A sudden problem with rusty water, or dirt or air in the water supply (there are other causes for this besides a leak).

High Water Use & Bills

Money Being Flushed Down the Toilet

Unexplained sudden increase in water use, consistently high water use, or water use that has been climbing at a fairly steady rate for several billing cycles.

Two Leak Detection Survey Design Options

Once it has been confirmed that a leak is present, we offer our clients two different survey design options. Feel free to choose the option that best fits your needs. If you are not sure which one that is, we can recommend one for you after learning more about your project.

Single Line

Single Line Leak Detection Survey

In residential water and commercial water systems suspected of having just one leak, the acoustic ground microphone, acoustic correlator, or helium detection technology can be used to search for a leak one line at a time.

Multiple Lines

Multiple Line Leak Detection Survey

In commercial domestic or fire water protection systems that are suspected of having multiple leaks, the acoustic correlating technology can be used to check multiple lines or sections of a line in one single reading.

Two Levels of Leak Detection Service

In addition to offering two different survey design options, we also offer two different levels of service. Feel free to choose the level of service that best fits your needs. If you are not sure which one that is, we can recommend one for you.

Level 1 - Field Markings 

This is our least complex and most affordable level of service. The location of the leak is marked on the ground with colored paint and/or flags, and a consultation is then performed with an on-site representative to discuss the results of the survey.

Level 1 Leak Detection Survey

Level 2 - Field Markings & Report

This is our top level of service. The location of the leak is marked on the ground with colored paint and/or flags; a consultation is performed with an onsite representative to discuss the final results of the survey; and a written leak detection report (PDF), explaining and documenting the results of the survey, is sent via email or a Google Drive shared link.
