How do I know if I have a water leak underground?

Spotting an underground water leak can feel tricky, but there are a few signs that can give it away.

 

First, take a look at your water bill. If it suddenly spikes for no reason, you might have a leak. Have you noticed soggy patches in your yard, especially when it hasn't rained?

​

Or areas of your driveway are damp when they shouldn't be. Another clue is the low water pressure in your home.

 

If you hear water running when everything is turned off, that's another red flag. Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it’s time to get a plumber out to check.

FAQs: Underground Leak Detection Melbourne

 

Can you detect a water leak under concrete?

Yes, absolutely! We have advanced tools that make underground water leak detection much easier and less invasive. An acoustic leak detector, for example, allows us to listen to the sound of water escaping, even under solid surfaces.

We also use thermal imaging to help us find leaks and spot temperature changes caused by them. So, if you’re worried about a leak under your concrete slabs or floors, we can definitely find it without tearing everything up.

How to detect water leaks underground?

Thanks to modern technology, detecting underground leaks isn’t as complicated as it sounds. Plumbers use various methods, such as acoustic listening devices, to hear the sound of leaking water. They might also use thermal imaging cameras, which detect heat changes that can indicate moisture or water flow.

In some cases, they’ll use tracer gas pumped into the leaking pipe, which helps them figure out where the leak is when the gas escapes. It’s all about using the right tools to find the problem without unnecessary digging.

How to stop underground water leakage?

Stopping underground water leaks is all about finding the right fix for the situation. First, we’ll locate the leak using specialised equipment, and from there, we have a few options. Sometimes, we can fix it without even digging by using pipe relining.

This is a great option because it causes the least disruption to the plumbing system. If the water pipes are too damaged, we must dig up a small section and replace it. There are also leak sealants designed for specific cases. No matter the method, correcting the leak quickly is key to preventing bigger problems down the track.

Which method is best for leak detection?

The best method for emergency leak detection depends on the location and type of leak. Acoustic leak detectors are great for underground leaks, as they pick up the sound of water escaping.

For leaks under concrete or hard-to-reach areas, thermal imaging works well by detecting temperature changes. In some cases, tracer gas is used to find the exact spot, ensuring minimal disruption.

How to Detect an Underfloor Leak?

Underfloor leaks are hard to spot without professional help, but there are a few signs you can look for. Warped or buckling floors, unexplained wet spots, or a musty smell could indicate a leak. If your water bill has suddenly increased, that’s another red flag. Professional leak detection services use the best leak detectors to identify the leak quickly and accurately, saving you from the hassle of unnecessary repairs.
