Pinpointing Leaks with Precision: The LD-12 Subsurface Leak Detector
When it comes to underground water leak detection, accuracy matters. That’s why professionals across the utility, construction, and environmental industries rely on the LD-12 Subsurface Leak Detector—a rugged, field-proven tool designed for pinpoint leak location in pressurized piping systems.
At Environmental Equipment & Supply, we offer the LD-12 leak detector in our rental fleet, giving you access to professional-grade performance without the capital expense.
What Is the LD-12 Leak Detector?
Manufactured by SubSurface Leak Detection, Inc. The LD-12 is a highly sensitive ground microphone system that amplifies leak sounds while filtering out unwanted background noise. It’s ideal for locating leaks in plastic, PVC, or metal piping systems, even those buried beneath concrete or asphalt.
With up to six selectable frequency filters, a limiter switch for hearing protection, and a large meter display for visual signal tracking, the LD-12 helps operators confidently zero in on leaks.
