Field acoustic detection — how it works and its limits
اقرأ Here is what this page is for بالعربية
Water escaping a hole under pressure makes a sound that travels through the pipe and wall. Acoustic detection picks up that sound with a contact microphone and processes it on the technician’s device to compare intensity between points; the loudest point is the first candidate. Measurements are recorded with their positions and feed the unified brain.
How it works
- The technician isolates the line and raises its pressure where possible to increase the sound.
- Scans points at regular spacing and records sound intensity and spectrum.
- Points appear on a map and the loudest range is marked.
- Confirmed by heat, moisture or tracer gas when needed.

Tool screenshots may appear in our live showcase only when the technician marks them safe and the customer consents.
Honest limits
- Sound weakens in plastic pipes, soft soil and low pressure; a small leak may not be heard.
- Ambient noise (AC, street) affects the reading.
- The result is an estimated range, not an absolute point.
Frequently asked questions
Does it detect a leak under tiles?
Usually yes if the line is pressurised; drain leaks (no pressure) need other methods.
Does the device harm walls?
No; it is a contact microphone only.
On-site service is available in Saudi Arabia only. The online tools can be used anywhere.
We explain what the feature does and does not do. Estimated values (probabilities, indicators, estimates) support a decision and are not a final diagnosis; confirmation comes from an on-site inspection.
