Underground Leak Detection | Mother

21st Century Underground Leak Detection From Mother

A leak in your yard wastes thousands of gallons of water before you ever see a wet spot. These breaks happen in the pipes buried deep under your lawn. They are often caused by the heavy soil in our region shifting over time. 

Mother finds these hidden leaks without digging up a square inch of your yard. We use high-tech acoustic and electronic sensors to pinpoint the break so we can fix it with as little damage to your landscaping as possible.

Call Mother 24/7 for non-invasive underground leak detection with same-day service.

We Find Leaks in Any Type of Buried Line

Water Main Leaks: These pipes carry fresh water from the city meter to your house. These lines are under constant pressure, both from the pressurized water inside them and the shifting black clay soil around them. Thermal imaging helps us pinpoint changes in soil temperature caused by water escaping your buried supply lines.‍

Sewer Main and Main Drain Leaks: These lines carry waste from your home to the city main. We look for root intrusion or pipe separations that cause slow drains or backups, as well as unusual puddles and damp sinkholes in the yard. Hydrostatic testing is a great option for discovering breaches in underground sewer and drainage pipes.

Irrigation Leaks: Leaks in your sprinkler system often stay hidden for months. We find these breaks to prevent soil erosion and save you money on your monthly utility bill. Acoustic leak location equipment uses sound waves to target the smallest pinhole leaks in your lawn irrigation lines.

Our Advanced Underground Leak Location Equipment

Mother uses a holistic approach to find buried leaks. We combine five advanced tools to create a pinpoint picture of the issue.

• Electronic Leak Detection: The industry standard for hearing the high-pitched sound of water escaping from a pressurized pipe.
• Thermal Imaging: These cameras map temperature shifts in the soil. They help us find hidden moisture plumes by identifying cooler areas underground.
• Acoustic Leak Detection: We use high-sensitivity microphones to triangulate the sound of water moving through the earth.
• Water Line Camera Inspection: We send HD cameras into the lines to see the interior condition and the exact size of the damage.
• Hydrostatic Testing: This pressure test is used for sewer lines. It confirms if the entire pipe network is airtight or losing water through a breach.

FAQs About Mother's Underground Leak Detection Service

• Will you have to dig up my entire yard to find the leak? No. Our goal is to find the leak without any invasive digging. We use sensors and cameras to pinpoint the break first. This allows us to perform a surgical repair that saves your grass and landscaping.
• How can I tell if a leak is in my yard or inside my house? A yard leak often causes soft spots in the grass or a sudden increase in your water bill. If you turn off the main valve at your house and the water meter is still spinning, the leak is likely in the yard. If the meter stops, the leak is inside your home.‍
• Why does Mother use so many different tools for one leak? Each tool gives us a different piece of the puzzle. Thermal imaging shows us where the water is. Acoustic tools tell us where the sound is loudest. Combining all five tools ensures we never have to guess. It guarantees that we find the leak with pinpoint accuracy every time.
