Pipe Location & Tracing

Pipe Location & Tracing Waikato

The Leak Detection Company are specialists in locating and tracing underground water lines for rural, commercial, and residential properties. From stock water systems to large-scale irrigation networks, our team can accurately find and map buried pipes so you know exactly where they run.

We use Electro-Magnetic Location (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect water lines of almost any diameter and depth. EML allows us to trace conductive lines with precision, while GPR gives a clear view of non-metallic or hard-to-trace pipes. Together, these technologies give accurate results, even in challenging ground conditions.

OUR PIPE LOCATION SERVICES

  • Stock water line tracing

  • Irrigation line location and mapping

  • GPS-aided network mapping

  • Rural leak detection

  • Depth measurement and on-site marking

Once traced, we mark the pipe path directly on the ground with depth readings at set intervals. Using GPS, we can then create an interactive digital map showing the exact route and depth of your network – a valuable asset for property maintenance, safety, and avoiding costly damage during future works.

WHY ACCURATE PIPE LOCATION MATTERS

Knowing the exact position of your underground water lines helps you:

  • Avoid accidental damage during earthworks

  • Plan repairs and upgrades efficiently

  • Keep staff and contractors safe

  • Reduce water loss from undetected leaks

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.
