Underground Leak Detection in Frome , Somerset

Finding a leak buried under soil or concrete requires specialist equipment and a methodical approach. Our diagnostic process is designed to be as minimally invasive as possible, using industry-leading non-destructive leak tracing methods.Initial Assessment: We check your mains water supply, stopcock, and internal valves to isolate the potential leak zone.Acoustic Water Leak Detection: Using highly sensitive ground microphones, we listen for the distinct frequency of water escaping under pressure, allowing us to accurately locate leaks beneath hard surfaces.Tracer Gas Testing: For difficult-to-find leaks, we safely introduce a harmless, WRAS-approved tracer gas into the pipework. The gas escapes through the leak and rises to the surface, where it is identified by our highly sensitive sensors.Thermal Imaging: If hot water lines are involved, we use thermal cameras to identify unusual heat signatures below the surface.Once the exact location is identified, we will walk you through the most efficient water pipe repair options available.
