Leak Detection
Professional leak detection for pools, underground water lines, slabs, walls, commercial properties and municipal infrastructure.
The Problem We Solve
A hidden leak can waste thousands of litres of water before it becomes visible. The signs are often indirect: rising water bills, damp areas, pressure loss, wet paving, mould, soil movement, constantly running meters or unexplained pool water loss. Guessing where to dig usually causes unnecessary damage and still may not solve the issue.
HydroTrace Solution
HydroTrace follows a non-destructive detection process. We first understand the symptoms, then select the right combination of pressure testing, acoustic detection, tracer gas, thermal inspection, visual checks and line isolation. The goal is to narrow the leak location before any breaking, trenching or repair work begins.
Our Step-By-Step Process
- Discuss the symptoms, history and site conditions.
- Isolate the suspect pipe, pool line or section of network.
- Pressure test where suitable to confirm whether a line is losing pressure.
- Use detection methods such as acoustic listening, tracer gas or thermal checks where appropriate.
- Mark the suspected leak area and provide a practical repair recommendation.

Leak Detection FAQs
Can you find leaks without digging?
In many cases, yes. The purpose of leak detection is to narrow the location before digging starts. The final method depends on pipe type, access, pressure and ground conditions.
Do you detect pool leaks?
Yes. Pool leak detection includes shell checks, plumbing pressure tests, fittings, skimmers, lights, main drains and water features.
Can you guarantee the exact leak point?
Leak detection improves accuracy and reduces guesswork, but site conditions can affect precision. HydroTrace gives the most accurate location possible using suitable methods.
