Acoustic detection
Sensitive listening gear picks up the sound of escaping water through walls, floors and slabs.
Hearing water with the taps off, or watching your bill climb? We use acoustic and thermal equipment to find hidden, slab and underground leaks — then fix it without digging up the whole house.
A hidden leak can waste thousands of litres and quietly damage slabs, walls and floors long before you see a drop. Rather than guessing and cutting open every wall, ClearFlow uses acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure testing to narrow a leak down to a precise spot.
That means we open up the smallest area possible, repair the leak and leave you with a clear explanation of what failed. Where you need it for an insurer, we can document the find and the fix.
A leak detection visit covers:
If water's going somewhere it shouldn't, we'll find it.
Sensitive listening gear picks up the sound of escaping water through walls, floors and slabs.
Infrared cameras reveal the temperature trail of hot and cold water leaks behind surfaces.
Leaks under concrete slabs located precisely so we cut the smallest possible opening.
Buried service and yard-line leaks traced and pinpointed without trenching the whole run.
Bill jumped for no reason? We investigate, confirm the loss and find the source.
Once located, we repair the leak with the least disruption and retest to confirm the fix.
Four steps to find and fix a hidden leak.
We check the meter and usage to confirm water is escaping and roughly where.
Acoustic, thermal and pressure tests narrow the leak to a precise point.
We open only what's needed, repair the leak and keep disruption to a minimum.
We retest to confirm the fix and document it for your records or insurer.
We use acoustic listening gear, thermal cameras and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak first, so we only open the small area directly over it instead of guessing across the house.
Often, yes. A sudden bill rise with no change in habits usually means a hidden or underground leak. We check the meter to confirm the loss, then locate the source for you.
Yes. Slab leaks are one of the most common things we locate. Our equipment traces them through the concrete so we can cut the smallest possible opening to repair.
We can document the leak we find and the repair we carry out, which many insurers ask for. Let us know up front if you need it for a claim.
