Acoustic Leak Detection Dubai

Water escaping a pressurised pipe makes a distinctive sound. We amplify and triangulate it to pinpoint the leak through concrete, screed and soil.

Overview

Acoustic Leak Detection

Acoustic leak detection is the most precise method available for pressurised pipework. When water escapes under pressure it generates a characteristic hiss that travels remarkably well through pipe walls, concrete and soil.

Using ground microphones and correlation equipment, we listen along the line and triangulate the point where the sound is loudest — which is the leak.

This is the method of choice for slab leaks, buried supply lines and any situation where the pipe is inaccessible and the alternative is breaking concrete to search.

Symptoms

Signs you need acoustic leak detection

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth surveying the property before the damage spreads.

Audible running water with all outlets closed
A suspected leak beneath a concrete slab
A buried supply line under a driveway or garden

Persistent pressure loss in the system
A water meter that keeps advancing

Our method

How we do it

Correlation is what makes this method precise. Sensors are placed at two accessible points on the same line and the equipment measures the tiny difference in arrival time of the leak sound at each. Knowing the pipe length, material and sound velocity, it calculates the leak position mathematically — frequently to within centimetres, even under a driveway.

Every inspection is carried out by trained technicians using calibrated equipment, and you receive a written report with photographic evidence showing exactly where the leak is and what it will take to fix it.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does acoustic detection work on plastic pipes?

It can, though plastic transmits sound less efficiently than metal. For PPR and PEX we often pair it with tracer gas.

Will background noise stop it working?

Traffic and building noise interfere, which is why we sometimes survey early morning or at night for the cleanest readings.

Can you find a leak under a driveway?

Yes. Buried lines under driveways and gardens are a core use case, located from the surface with no exploratory digging.

How accurate is correlation?

On a well-defined pipe run it is frequently accurate to within a few centimetres.
