Slab Leak Acoustic Detection in Penticton
Slab Leak Acoustic Detection is one of our core acoustic leak-detection services available in Penticton. Locate leaks in in-slab plumbing using acoustic correlation and listening. We deploy this for BC property owners and managers needing acoustic leak detection across Penticton and the Interior & Okanagan region.
Commercial and tourism hub between Okanagan and Skaha lakes.
When you need this service in Penticton
- 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.
- Municipal water loss — Distribution system losses waste millions of litres. Acoustic survey of mains is the most cost-effective detection method.
How it works in Penticton
- 01
Access the pipe
We find two access points on the same pipe — can be at the meter, a cleanout, or an exposed section.
- 02
Place the sensors
Hydrophone or accelerometer sensors are attached to the pipe at each access point.
- 03
Correlate the signal
The correlator measures the time delay of the leak sound reaching each sensor and calculates the precise position.
- 04
Mark and report
The leak location is marked on the surface. You receive a report with findings, sensor data, and recommendations.
