How do you locate an underground pipe leak without digging up my driveway?
We deploy specialized acoustic ground listening microphones and digital correlation equipment. When water escapes under pressure beneath tarmac, block paving, or concrete, it emits unique sound frequencies. Our sensors detect this noise and pinpoint the leak's exact position to within centimetres.
Do you repair the burst pipe as well as finding it?
Yes, we provide a complete 'Find & Fix' solution. Our WIAPS-approved utility engineers can excavate the pinpointed spot, repair the burst pipe or install a new MDPE line via trenchless moling, and reinstate your driveway or garden cleanly on the same day.
