Services available in Upper Nelson
Acoustic Correlation Surveys
Dual-sensor correlation to pinpoint pressurized pipe leaks with sub-meter accuracy.
Acoustic Listening Surveys
Ground microphones amplify leak sounds on buried pipes to confirm correlator findings.
Underground Pipe Leak Detection
Buried water main, service line, and fire loop leak location without excavation.
Slab Leak Acoustic Detection
Locate leaks in in-slab plumbing using acoustic correlation and listening.
Ultrasonic Compressed Air Detection
High-frequency detection for compressed air, steam, and gas leaks in industrial environments.
Leak Noise Logger Surveys
Overnight acoustic monitoring to detect leak sounds in water networks.
Common acoustic leak issues in Upper Nelson
- Underground pipe leaks — Buried water mains and service lines can leak for months before surfacing. Acoustic finds them before they become sinkholes.
- High water bills — A hidden underground leak can add thousands to quarterly water bills. Acoustic detects the smallest pressurized leaks.
- Slab leaks — Water escaping from in-slab pipes creates a sound signature. Acoustic correlation finds it within inches.
- Fire-suppression leaks — Pressure loss in fire loops is often caused by buried leaks. Acoustic finds them without discharging the system.
Why Nelson property owners choose Leak.ca
- Sub-meter accuracy — Gutermann AquaScan correlators pinpoint leaks within 30cm on pipe runs up to 1km. Gold standard for underground leaks.
- Non-invasive — No excavation, no drilling, no property damage. We listen through the pipe from surface access points.
- Works on any pipe material — Metal, plastic, PVC, PEX — acoustic correlation works on all pressurized pipe materials.
- Combined with GPR — We layer acoustic + GPR for underground leaks: acoustic finds the leak, GPR maps the pipe for precise excavation.
