Underground & Villa Water Main Leak Detection

A leak in the buried pipe between your water meter and your villa can run for months before you notice, often showing up only as a high water bill or a wet patch in the garden. We use acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas to pinpoint the leak so only a small hole needs to be dug. From AED 2,450 including VAT.

Signs of an underground leak

  • The water meter keeps turning with everything switched off
  • A sudden jump in your DEWA, SEWA or water bill
  • Wet or sunken areas in the garden, driveway or paving
  • Unusually green patches of lawn
  • Low water pressure in the villa

How we find it

  • Meter and pressure testing to confirm a leak and isolate sections
  • Acoustic ground microphones to hear water escaping underground
  • Tracer gas for quiet leaks, plastic pipes and deep runs
  • Pipe locating to trace the route of the main
  • Marking the leak position on site for your contractor

Price

Underground and villa main leak detection starts from AED 2,450 including VAT and a written report. Long runs and commercial sites are quoted on request. After-hours call-outs add AED 595. See all prices.

Underground leak FAQs

How do I check my meter for a leak?

Turn off every tap and appliance, note the meter reading, wait 30 to 60 minutes without using water, and check again. If it has moved, there is probably a leak.

Who is responsible for the pipe from the meter?

Generally the property side of the meter is the owner's responsibility, but check with your water authority or master developer for your community.

Will you dig up my garden?

No. We locate and mark the leak. Your contractor then only needs to open the small area we mark.
