Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive microphones to listen for the specific high-frequency sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe, which can help locate hidden leaks while often reducing the amount of exploratory opening required.
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or discolored patches on walls and ceilings, the constant sound of running water, and sudden drops in water pressure.
In many cases, advanced non-invasive methods like thermal imaging and acoustic detection can help locate the leak, which may reduce the need to remove drywall or flooring.
