Water Leak Detection

Enviro Trace Ltd. helps protect one of Earth’s most precious resources by offering advanced water leak detection designed to help municipalities and infrastructure operators detect leaks early, reduce water loss, and prevent damage to critical systems.

Water Leak Detection Services

Water is one of Earth’s most precious resources, and undetected leaks can lead to significant water loss, costly repairs, environmental harm, and long-term infrastructure risk. Enviro Trace Ltd. provides advanced, environmentally-safe water leak detection solutions for municipalities and organizations responsible for water infrastructure.

Our water leak detection services are designed to detect leaks in pipes, mains, and underground systems, including hidden leak conditions and slow leaks, helping teams maintain operational efficiency, improve response time, and protect valuable water resources.

Cost Effective

Using advanced sensors and analysis tools, our technicians can quickly interpret data from detected leaks. This allows municipalities to focus repair efforts on the leaks that matter most, reducing unnecessary repair work, lowering costs, and improving long-term system planning.

Non-Intrusive Solution

Our non-invasive water leak detection methods reduce water loss, protect infrastructure, and avoid emergency dig-ups. Systems remain operational during testing, helping municipalities maintain service continuity while minimizing disruption to roads and communities.

How Our Water Leak Detection Works

Enviro Trace uses a combination of advanced technologies such as Tracer gases and proactive and reactive acoustic surveys, sensors, and data-driven analysis to monitor water systems and detect leaks without disrupting service.

Advanced Leak Detection Technology

Enviro Trace’s advanced leak detection technology can accurately find leaks across all types of water infrastructure, including water mains, water lines, sewer lines, municipal utility systems, and agriculture irrigation (e.g. wineries).

Our detection technology:

  • Uses sensors or analyzers and leak detectors to detect water escaping from pipes
  • Accounts for changing environmental and operating conditions
  • Helps prevent damage and reduce long-term infrastructure risk
  • Supports compliance with best practices and provincial programs

This technology pinpoints leaks by size and location, allowing teams to prioritize the most critical issues first.

Our Approach

Our approach allows teams to:

  • Monitor system behaviour
  • Improve response time when leaks occur
  • Maintain control over water usage and system performance

This integrated water leak detection system delivers reliable performance across large, complex municipal networks.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Acoustic leak detection accurately identifies the size and location of water leaks. Sensors are attached externally to pipes, offering continuous monitoring without the need for calibration or service interruptions. 

This method is especially effective for detecting leaks and supporting faster response times across large networks.

Tracer Gas Testing

Tracer gas testing utilizes non-hazardous Quantifiable Tagging Agents (QTA) tracer gas to detect and pinpoint even the smallest water leaks. Sensitive detectors identify tracer gas vapors escaping from the system, allowing teams to confirm leak locations and mark areas for repair with precision.

Acoustic leak detection can be used alongside tracer gas testing to validate findings and support efficient leak management.

Benefits for Municipalities

With Enviro Trace’s water detection services, municipalities gain access to detailed, data-driven insights that go beyond simple leak detection. This advanced reporting helps teams prioritize repairs, optimize maintenance schedules, and make informed, long-term investment decisions.

  • Monitor aging water mains and underground pipes: Detect leaks in older systems to prevent unexpected failures.
  • Ensure reliability of new pipelines: Test new installations to certify the integrity of new infrastructure.
  • Prevent revenue loss: Stop water and revenue losses caused by undetected leaks.​
