The technology that helps you locate water leaks without excavation.
Fast monitoring of underground water networks across large areas, with rapid anomaly detection
Detect water leaks earlier using cosmic-ray sensing
Finapp's CRNS probes detect cosmic ray neutrons that interact with hydrogen in the soil, revealing moisture anomalies above pipelines that may signal hidden leaks even in urban areas.
- Non-invasive detection
- Effective in rural and urban environments
- AI-enhanced leak pre-location
Monitor water networks across large areas
A dedicated vehicle carrying Finapp's probe scans about 100 km of pipeline network per day at 20–25 km/h, generating detailed soil moisture maps without installing dense sensor networks.
- About 100 km scanned per day
- Mounted on a vehicle, fully non-invasive
- No sensor infrastructure to install
Anomalies detected
Focus field inspections where anomalies occur
Color-coded, georeferenced maps pre-locate leaks to just 10% of the network, so inspection teams know exactly where to dig.
- Georeferenced anomaly maps
- Prioritizes the search across 10% of the network
- Faster leak localization
Network loss risk
Moderate
Leak probability 36%
Reduce non-revenue water through faster, cheaper detection
Thanks to Finapp pre-localization technology, water leaks detection becomes 3× faster and 2× more convenient than traditional geo-acoustic methods.
- Accelerates and streamlines the leak detection process
- 100 km/day vs. 5–10 km/day traditional
- Lower non-revenue water losses
The system behind large-area water utility leak detection
Finapp leak detection is powered by compact neutron-sensing probes that measure variations in soil moisture beneath the surface, even in urban areas. Mounted on a dedicated vehicle, the probes scan road networks non-invasively and identify anomalies that may indicate hidden leaks. The result is a georeferenced map of potential leak zones, enabling utilities to inspect and repair them more efficiently.

Water Leaks Detection FAQ
Find answers about deployment, monitoring capabilities and integration with existing infrastructure systems.
-
The probe detects soil moisture anomalies caused by underground water leaks, helping identify areas where inspection should be prioritized.
-
A single probe can monitor a large area above underground pipeline networks, helping identify potential leak locations along several kilometers of pipes. The effective monitoring range depends on soil conditions, pipe layout, and installation configuration.
-
Because the system continuously monitors moisture conditions, anomalies can be detected early before leaks become large failures.
-
No. The probe is installed above ground and does not require direct contact with pipelines or underground infrastructure.
-
Yes. Data can be accessed through the Finapp platform and exported or integrated via API into existing utility management systems.
