What Is Underground Leak Detection?
Underground water leak detection is the professional process of locating leaks in buried pipes, irrigation systems, slab damaged plumbing, stormwater lines, and other hidden water infrastructure beneath your property. These leaks often go unnoticed until water bills rise or visible damage appears. Professional detection uses cutting-edge acoustic sensors, pressure testing, thermal methods and specialised equipment to pinpoint the exact leak location.
Signs You Might Have an Underground Leak
You may need professional leak detection if you notice:
✔ Unexpectedly high water bills
✔ Soft, boggy or green patches in lawn or garden
✔ Cracks in driveways or paths
✔ Damp patches near walls or slabs
✔ Constant sound of running water with no visible source
If you’re seeing any of the above, it’s worth getting a professional assessment.
