Underground Water Leak Detection
Our underground water leak detection services are accurate, cost-effective water leak detection and diagnosis of the condition of water mains. If there is an accident or water main breakage we can pinpoint the defect and indicate its location on the surface of the earth.
How to find a hidden underground water leak
A hidden water underground leak is one of the biggest troubles that can happen to plumbing. In some cases, you can detect a leak with the naked eye when water is gushing from the ground. However, in some cases, the water does not come to the surface at the accident site and it is impossible to locate the defect without special equipment. If there are no visible signs of a burst pipe, then the question arises how to find a water underground leak. In the past, to locate the leakage, one had to open up the soil in the supposed area of the leakage at random, but this did not always yield a positive result. Earthworks are not only a rather labour-intensive activity, they cause a lot of problems to the population due to blocked traffic on public roads, water supply cut offs for a long period of time and the like.
Our water leak specialists are able to perform any diagnostic works from finding leaks in underground water supply systems and detecting through pipe defects in distribution pipelines to a full comprehensive inspection of the whole water supply system, including tracing the pipelines and drawing a plan of their location on the site. We can offer the most up-to-date methods and technologies to assess the condition of your water pipelines, including without disrupting the networks or stopping water supply to consumers. In most cases you won’t even need to do extra excavation work because we use existing access points such as process wells or heat chambers to find leaks.

Underground pipeline leaks cause big problems
It’s no secret that every hidden water leak causes financial losses.
Such losses usually include an increase in water bills, compensation to consumers of insufficient water volume, the cost of possible fines and legal costs. Prompt performance of works on underground water leaks detection and localization can reduce financial losses and in due time to eliminate defects in the pipeline.
Rusty, old or poorly installed pipelines, weak or missing corrosion protection, incorrectly installed valves and mechanical damage to the pipe are just some of the factors that contribute to the formation of underground water leakage. One of the negative effects of leaks, in addition to the loss of water resources, is the drop in pressure in the water system. Forced increase of pressure in the pipeline to compensate for such losses leads to an increase in energy consumption. At the same time, increasing the pressure only increases the leakage, which has very adverse effects on nearby engineering structures and the environment.
We can find water leaks underground
In most cases, water pipes are laid underground. In doing so, they are affected by moisture and chemicals, soil corrosion and, in the presence of stray currents, electrical corrosion. All of these detrimental factors contribute to leaks. Detecting water leaks underground is one of the most difficult tasks of leak detection. We, have the ability to effectively search for underground leaks using the most modern technology. For example, in our work we use precision trace detectors, push-pull probes, latest generation soil microphone, pipeline tele-inspection system, professional thermal imaging camera and advanced correlation leakage detectors implementing vibroacoustic and hydroacoustic methods that allow to locate the most difficult leaks for detection. With extensive experience in locating leaks in water supply, water distribution, heating networks and outdoor firefighting systems, our specialists perform their work in a quality and timely manner.
