Underground Leak Detection Services
Advanced non-invasive methods to accurately locate underground water leaks
Our Detection Approach
At Underground-Leak.ca, we specialize in non-invasive leak detection techniques that minimize disruption to your property while providing accurate results. Our comprehensive approach combines multiple detection methods to ensure we locate even the most elusive underground leaks.
Our technicians are trained in the latest detection technologies and bring over 25 years of experience to every job. We can detect leaks in various pipe materials and depths, even in challenging conditions.
Our Detection Methods
Acoustic Leak Detection
Our acoustic leak detection equipment can hear the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it's not visible on the surface. This non-invasive method allows us to pinpoint leaks with minimal disruption.
- Detects leaks in various pipe materials
- Works through concrete, soil, and other materials
- Highly accurate for pressurized water systems
Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)
GPR technology allows us to create detailed images of what's beneath the surface without digging. We can locate pipes, identify water accumulation, and detect anomalies that indicate leaks.
- Creates subsurface images up to 15 feet deep
- Identifies pipe locations and water accumulation
- Completely non-destructive technology
Thermal Imaging
Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences in the ground or building materials that can indicate the presence of water from leaking pipes, even when not visible to the naked eye.
- Detects temperature variations caused by water
- Works through walls, floors, and ground surfaces
- Provides visual confirmation of moisture patterns
Pressure Testing
We use specialized pressure testing equipment to identify leaks in closed pipe systems. By monitoring pressure changes, we can determine if a leak exists and help narrow down its location.
- Confirms the presence of leaks in closed systems
- Measures the severity of leaks
- Works for both water and sewer systems
Moisture Mapping
We use specialized moisture meters and sensors to create detailed maps of moisture levels in soil, concrete, and other materials, helping to identify areas affected by underground leaks.
- Creates visual representation of moisture patterns
- Identifies affected areas beyond the leak source
- Helps determine the extent of water damage
Pipe Tracing
Our pipe tracing equipment allows us to locate and map underground pipes without excavation, providing crucial information for leak detection and repair planning.
- Maps the exact location of underground pipes
- Identifies pipe depth and direction
- Works with metal and non-metal pipes
Our Detection Process
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment of your property, reviewing water usage patterns, visible signs of leaks, and the layout of your plumbing system.
Non-Invasive Detection
Using our advanced equipment, we conduct non-invasive detection to locate potential leak sources without damaging your property.
Confirmation Testing
Once potential leak areas are identified, we perform confirmation tests to verify the exact location and severity of the leak.
Documentation & Reporting
We provide detailed documentation of our findings, including the location, depth, and severity of leaks, along with recommended repair options.
Repair Planning
Based on our detection results, we develop a comprehensive repair plan that minimizes disruption to your property while effectively addressing the leak.
