Sensitive ground mics pick up the sound of water escaping from buried mains and laterals.

Irrigation Leak Detection
Underground irrigation lines can leak for months before anyone notices. We trace leaks in mains, zones, valves and heads for golf courses, estates, resorts and homes, with minimal digging.
Golf courses, estates & grounds
Large irrigated grounds hide long runs of buried pipe. A single leak can waste thousands of gallons and damage turf before it surfaces.
Signs of an irrigation leak
Quick check: with the system off, watch the irrigation meter or main meter. If it keeps turning, water is escaping underground.
Get it checked- Soggy patches or standing water between watering cycles
- Strips of unusually green grass over buried lines
- Dry zones while the rest of the system runs normally
- Low pressure or weak spray from sprinkler heads
- Water bubbling up around heads or valve boxes
- Water bills climbing with no change in schedule
- Sinkholes, washouts or soft ground on fairways and lawns
How we find irrigation leaks
We locate the leak on the buried line first, so repairs mean one small hole, not a trench across your turf.
Zone pressure testing
Each zone and valve is isolated and tested, so we know exactly which run is losing water.
Thermal imaging
Temperature differences in the ground reveal wet areas and the path of hidden lines.
