Acoustic Microphone Testing

Leako Leak Detection uses specialist acoustic testing to locate hidden water leaks within pipework without unnecessary damage to your property. Acoustic leak detection works by detecting the sound and vibration created as pressurised water escapes from a damaged pipe, joint or fitting.

Our engineers use high-sensitivity acoustic listening equipment to carefully monitor pipework and surrounding areas, helping to identify changes in sound that can indicate the presence and location of a concealed leak.

Acoustic testing is particularly effective for investigating mains water supplies, underground pipework, central heating systems and other pressurised water systems. It can help locate leaks beneath floors, within walls, under driveways and in other difficult-to-access areas.

We combine acoustic testing with other specialist techniques where required, including thermal imaging, tracer gas testing, moisture measurement and pressure testing. Using the most appropriate method for each investigation helps us pinpoint the source of the leak while reducing unnecessary excavation and disruption.

If you suspect a hidden water leak, our professional acoustic testing service provides an accurate and non-invasive way to investigate unexplained water loss, dampness, low water pressure and water damage.
