Acoustic Leak Detection Across Southern California

Water forced through a break in a pressurised line makes a sound. Ground microphones and digital amplification let us hear that sound through several inches of concrete and follow it to a point on your floor โ€” before anything is opened.

โ€” Sarah Johnson, Palmdale

Service to fix my garbage disposal was impeccable. Dennis's demeanor was extremely professional and pleasant. He arrived within half an hour of the 4 hour window, took care of business in under 10 min, and left the area cleaner than when he arrived. Thank you!

How Acoustic Detection Works

A pressurised pipe that has failed pushes water out through the break, and that escape makes a continuous high-frequency hiss. It is far too quiet to hear standing in the room. Ground microphones placed on the floor pick it up and amplify it digitally, and because the sound is loudest directly above the failure, moving the sensor across the slab in a grid narrows the location down to a small area โ€” usually within a foot or so.

When Acoustic Is The Right First Test

Acoustic works best on an active leak in a line that still holds pressure, which covers most of the calls we run. It does not care whether the leak is on the hot or the cold side, it works under tile and carpet alike, and it finds cold-water leaks that thermal imaging cannot see. If your meter is spinning with every fixture off, this is where we start.

What It Cannot Do On Its Own

Acoustic detection needs sound, so it struggles with a very slow weep, a leak on a drain line that is not under pressure, or a house with a lot of ambient noise. Deep slab and thick post-tension concrete also muffle the signal. That is why we rarely rely on one method โ€” acoustic findings get confirmed against thermal imaging or an isolated pressure test before anyone recommends opening concrete.

What Happens On The Visit

We quiet the house, check the meter, scan the suspected runs and mark the location on the floor. Detection is quoted before we start and runs $150โ€“$400 depending on the size of the home and how much of the system has to be scanned. The repair is a separate quote given after the diagnosis, so you are never agreeing to a repair to find out whether you need one.

Detection is $150โ€“$400, quoted before we start, and the repair is a separate quote given after the diagnosis. Tell us what you are seeing.
