Water escaping from a pressurised pipe makes a distinctive sound. Our electro-acoustic ground microphones and listening sticks amplify that sound through concrete, tiles, paving and soil, so we can pinpoint leaks in slabs, walls and buried mains with minimal disruption. Fixed prices from AED 1,150 including VAT.
Apartments AED 1,150 and villas AED 1,650 for the first hour on site, then AED 495 per extra hour. Underground mains from AED 2,450. All prices include 5% VAT and a written report. See all prices.
Plastic pipes carry sound less well than copper, so leaks can be quieter. We often combine acoustic testing with tracer gas on PPR, PEX and PE pipework.
Background noise from traffic, pumps and AC units can interfere. We may ask for appliances to be switched off briefly, or test at a quieter time.
On a pressurised pipe with a clear route, we can usually narrow the leak down to a small area so only a minimal opening is needed.
