Is your central heating system dropping pressure? You might have a hidden leak!
Discover the silence of Water Leak Detection
Water leaks can cause a huge amount of damage to a property if not detected early. At Harmuns, our acoustic water leak detection service is designed to pinpoint the exact location of these pesky hidden leaks, without causing disruption to the property, preventing further damage and extortionate water bills!
At Harmuns, we have many years of experience in finding and fixing leaks that your plumber can’t. We are a rapidly growing company, offering excellent technical surveys as well as putting an emphasis on the customer experience.
Water leak detection is the process of finding the source of leaks that are often hidden within concealed pipes, behind walls or under floors.
One of the ways we detect these leaks is through using specialist acoustic detection equipment. Acoustic leak detection is a sound-based method that involves placing highly-sensitive acoustic sensors strategically around the suspected leak site to detect even the faintest hisses, whistles or vibrations caused by the escaping water.
We are able to offer our acoustic water leak detection services to both residential and commercial properties. We recognise that each setting presents its unique challenges, and our experienced professionals are equipped to handle any scenario that they are presented with.
The sensors we use in our acoustic leak detection services are extremely sensitive. They work by detecting sound waves from any unusual noises or vibration patterns and converting them into electrical signals that are sent to a control unit for analysis.
Once received by the control unit, advanced algorithms are used to differentiate any potential leak-related anomalies from normal background noise. It is also able to use the time it takes for the sound to reach different sensors to determine the location of the leak.
At Harmuns, we understand the importance of using top-notch acoustic water detection systems in preventing potential problems and maintaining the structure of your property.
Our acoustic water leak detection systems are equipped with cutting-edge technology that goes beyond traditional leak detection methods. These systems are able to detect even the most elusive leaks, and have the ability to be used in conjunction with other equipment. The integration of these technologies allows for a fast, comprehensive identification of leaks, reducing the risk of damage to your property.
Our acoustic water leak systems are non-invasive, ensuring that the structure of your property is undisturbed. The precision of these systems lies in their ability to identify leaks without causing unnecessary damage, providing you with peace of mind whilst protecting your space.
One of the key advantages of our acoustic water leak detection systems is their ability to facilitate early intervention. Detecting leaks early allows for quick repairs, potentially preventing damage, mould growth, and other issues that come along with water leaks.
At Harmuns, we understand that every property is unique. Because of this, we offer water leak detection services that are tailored to meet each customer’s specific needs. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, landlord or property manager, our systems can be personalised to work efficiently and effectively in your space.
At Harmuns, we strive to use the latest and greatest leak detection equipment. This state-of-the-art equipment, alongside our customer service, is what sets us apart and allows us to quickly, accurately and efficiently find and fix your problem.
Our engineers all arrive on site equipped with a toolbox of sophisticated tools, each designed to help us detect hidden water leaks, depending on where they are located. Acoustic leak detectors, in particular, use different sensors, depending on their required application. For underwater leak detection, for example, a hydrophone will often be used. Hydrophones are specialist underwater microphones that are designed to listen to the sound of water and detect abnormalities that could signify a leak.
However, using a hydrophone would be inappropriate for detecting a leak within underground pipes or tanks. In this case, a geophone would be more suitable. Geophones are highly capable of transferring vibrations into the electrical signals that can detect leaks.
At Harmuns, our engineers are equipped with decades of experience that allows us to detect leaks as efficiently as possible, repair them to a high standard, and meet the customer service requirements of our clients. We are proud to be listed on checkatrade and that our engineers are all on the gas safe register.

Signs of a potential water leak include unexplained increases in water bills, damp patches on walls or ceilings, musty smells, the sound of running water, and visible water pooling around fixtures or appliances.
Acoustic leak detection is a process of placing highly-sensitive acoustic sensors around the site of a suspected leak to detect the sounds or vibrations caused by escaping water.
There are multiple advantages of using acoustic sensors in leak detection. For example, they are non-invasive, so using them will not cause any damage to the property. As well as this, they are highly sensitive, so can detect even the smallest leaks, and are suitable for use with various different pipe materials.
However, it is important to note that some acoustic sensors can have a limited range, depending on the size and material of the pipe. As well as this, they can be affected by background noise, so it is important to use professional leak detection companies.
If you suspect a water leak but can’t find it yourself, it’s best to contact a professional leak detection and repair service, like us. Our team have the expertise to accurately identify and resolve even the most hidden leaks.
We cover most of the South-East of England, including Central and Greater London.
We are not an emergency plumber. If you have a visible leak, please contact your local plumber.
