Underground Water Leak Detection for Mains Water Supply Pipes

Contrary to indoor plumbing leaks, where there are usually visible signs of water damage inside your home, an underground water leak can often go unnoticed for days—or even weeks. One of the most common early warnings is an unexplained increase in water bills despite normal usage. In more severe cases, you may also notice a significant drop in your mains water pressure.

If you or our engineers suspect an underground mains water supply issue, we can carry out accurate underground water leak detection using advanced methods. With the help of professional underground water leak detection equipment, we quickly identify the exact location of the problem and provide clear guidance on the next steps. A simple water meter test can also help confirm the presence of a hidden leak.

A Quick Guide to Detect a Pipe Leak

The first step in detecting underground water leaks is to turn off the stop valve (stopcock) inside the property. Once this is done, a water meter reading is taken. If, after some time, a second reading shows higher usage than the first, it’s a clear indication of an underground water leak in the supply line between the water meter and the property.

If this test doesn’t locate the issue, our engineers will carry out a pressure test on the property’s internal plumbing system. These tests help confirm whether a leak exists, and from there, our advanced underground water leak detector technology enables us to accurately pinpoint the problem’s location.

Non-invasive Underground Leak Detection

Traditionally, locating an underground leak meant exposing the pipe by digging trenches along its length until the leak was found. This process required an excavation team, making it time-consuming, costly, and disruptive.

Today, advanced technology has transformed the process. With modern underground water leak detection equipment, our experts can accurately locate leaks without unnecessary digging. Once the problem area is identified, only a small section may need to be excavated for visual confirmation, saving you time, money, and stress.

Using radio transmission and mapping tools, we can track the exact path of buried pipes across your property. This is especially beneficial for larger sites where pipes may run over long distances. By marking the pipeline’s route and applying specialist methods with an underground water leak detector, we can deliver precise results and recommend immediate solutions.

Acoustic Equipment

Water under pressure inside your pipes can create tiny vibrations when it escapes through a crack. To identify this, we use highly sensitive acoustic technology designed for underground water leak detection. A microphone is placed on the ground to amplify these vibrations into sound, making it easier for our specialists to locate the issue.

By moving the microphone along the survey line, changes in sound help us pinpoint the exact location of the leak. This advanced method allows our team to detect even the smallest issues with accuracy.

Our underground water leak detector equipment is powerful enough to identify leaks in pipes made from any material. Whether it’s a minor problem or a larger scale issue, the technology can even pick up leaks buried several feet beneath concrete floors—making our service one of the best water leak repair services available in the region.

Tracer Gas

With this method, your pipes are filled with a completely harmless inert gas mix, and using a specialist probe, we can detect where the gas escapes. This works because the point where the gas escapes is the same location as the water leak.

The process combines simple science with precision: since gas is lighter than air, it can penetrate soil, floor coverings, and even concrete slabs. It leaves no residue behind and is completely safe for use in domestic drinking water systems.

This approach is often used when acoustic tools cannot provide a clear reading or when additional confirmation is required. By combining advanced underground water leak detection equipment with skilled expertise, we ensure accurate results every time. For peace of mind, rely on a trusted underground water leak detection company that delivers reliable and efficient water leak repair services tailored to your needs.
