Symptoms
Problems this service helps solve
- The deck or landscape has an unexplained wet area.
- The pool loses water faster when the pump runs.
- A pressure test shows one plumbing section does not hold.
- Prior repair attempts did not address the buried line.
What Echo tests
- Pressure testing to identify the failed section.
- Acoustic listening over deck and ground when the line is pressurized.
- Hydrogen tracer-gas testing when standard locating is inconclusive.
- Repair-access planning to avoid broad exploratory excavation.
What to expect
- Detection happens in stages: isolate, confirm, locate, then recommend repair.
- The goal is to reduce the repair area before cutting deck or digging.
- Findings are explained in practical language for homeowners and contractors.
What the test can and cannot determine
- Noise, soil conditions, pipe depth, and decking can affect locating precision.
- The exact repair scope is sometimes confirmed only after the pipe is exposed.

Common questions
Can you locate a leak without digging?
Testing and locating can often narrow the area before any digging. Excavation is still required to physically repair an underground pipe.
