Acoustic Leak Detection

Acoustic Leak Detection Waikato

At The Leak Detection Company, we specialise in acoustic leak detection for homes, businesses, farms, and commercial sites across the Waikato. Our state-of-the-art acoustic equipment allows us to accurately detect leaks by listening for the sound of water escaping from pipes – even when the pipe is buried or hidden within walls or floors.

How Acoustic Leak Detection Works

First, we trace the likely pipe path using specialist location equipment. Once the route is identified, we place sensitive listening devices directly above the pipe. These devices can detect the unique sound pattern made by escaping water, helping us pinpoint the leak with precision.

This method is:

  • Fast – Find the source of a leak quickly, without guesswork

  • Non-invasive – No need to dig up large areas unnecessarily

  • Versatile – Works on many different pipe types and materials, including metal and plastic

Immediate Leak Repairs Available

In many cases, once the leak is found, our technicians can carry out immediate repairs to stop further water loss. Our vehicles are stocked with a wide range of fittings and materials, so we can often fix the problem on the spot and save you the cost of a return visit.

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.
