Farm Leak Detection

Farm Leak Detection

Fast, accurate detection for farm water lines, trough systems, and rural pipe networks.

Farms rely on steady water flow. When a pipe leaks underground, you can lose thousands of litres a day without noticing. Wet patches, low pressure at troughs, and rising water bills are often the only clues. Our team specialises in finding these problems quickly, without digging up the whole paddock.

We work across the Waikato and nearby regions, helping dairy, dry stock, lifestyle blocks, and rural properties keep their water systems running as they should.

Our Farm Leak Detection Services

We find leaks in all types of rural water networks, including:

  • Trough feeds and supply lines

  • Main farm water lines (low and high pressure)

  • Paddock supply networks

  • Bore and pump supply lines

  • Poly, alkathene and PVC pipe systems

  • Effluent lines and underground services

  • Rural house supply lines

We use non-invasive equipment to trace the line and locate the fault accurately, so repair crews know exactly where to dig and what needs to be fixed.

Why Farmers Choose Us

  • Specialists in rural leak detection

  • Fast response across the Waikato

  • Accurate pinpointing (less digging, less cost)

We know how vital water supply is to day-to-day farm work. Our goal is to keep disruptions low and get you back to normal as quickly as possible.

Signs You May Have a Leak on Your Farm

  • A trough is slow to fill or isn’t staying full

  • The pump is running more than normal

  • Sudden drop in pressure across the farm

  • Wet patches or unexpected soggy ground

  • Water meter spinning when no taps or troughs are in use

  • Unexplained increases in water usage

If you suspect something is wrong, getting it checked early can save money and avoid further damage.

Terms & Conditions

Disclaimer – Please Read Before Engagement

This agreement outlines the terms under which The Leak Detection Company provides underground water leak detection services to the person or organisation engaging us (“you”).

You acknowledge that our services are designed to assist with the identification of potential underground water leaks and buried services. While The Leak Detection Company utilises the latest technology and industry-accepted best practices for underground leak detection, we cannot guarantee a detection survey will result in the positive location of any/all leaks. This is subject to several factors that are out of our control, including but not limited to ground conditions, external noise sources, pipe/leak depth and leak size/volume. 

No assurance can be given about the exact location of any underground leak or utility identified by The Leak Detection Company. The only way to confirm any such finding is through visual verification. (Refer: AS 5488.1.2019 – Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), Quality Level A).

The accuracy of our detection tools and techniques can vary. Any positions or depths indicated should not be considered exact. You are responsible for confirming all positions and depths using hand digging or hydro excavation methods prior to any mechanical excavation.

The Leak Detection Company accepts no responsibility for any damage, disruption, or harm caused to underground services, or for any injury, financial loss, or other consequences resulting from such incidents—whether affecting you or any other party such as contractors, owners, customers, service providers, councils, or others. You agree to fully indemnify The Leak Detection Company against all such claims, damages, and associated costs.

If, despite the above, any liability does arise on the part of The Leak Detection Company (in contract, tort, or otherwise), that liability will be limited to the total amount paid by you for our services. We are not liable for loss of income, contracts, business opportunities, or any indirect or consequential damages.

These limitations and protections extend to all staff, agents, officers, and contractors of The Leak Detection Company.

You acknowledge that this document forms the entire agreement between you and The Leak Detection Company, and no other terms, representations, or assurances—unless documented here—are part of the agreement.
