Common acoustic leak issues in New Westminster
- 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 New Westminster property managers 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.
