Products and brands

Products and Services

Echologics specializes in utilizing acoustic technology for leak detection in underground plastic piping, eliminating the need for direct pipe access. In 2010, the company won a one-year contract to detect leaks in municipal piping in the City of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. During the initial two weeks of the project, Echologics successfully identified leaks amounting to 358,000 gallons daily. Echologics has continued this relationship to present day and finds approximately 490 leaks for New Orleans per year.

Other services include assessment of asbestos cement pipes, permanent leak monitoring systems, transmission main leak detection, and non-revenue water management. In 2012, Mueller Service Co., which provides assessment and remediation services to water utilities, was consolidated under the Echologics brand.

Bottling Plant in China

Echologics located a leak under a bottling plant in China, which was losing approximately 40,000 gallons per day of treated supply water. An Echologics field crew with the LeakFinder correlator located the leak, underneath a section of concrete roadway surrounding the plant.

Partnership with American Water and Illinois Sustainable Technology Center

The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center collaborated with American Water and Echologics to conduct leak detection initiatives in the Chicago Metropolitan area, resulting in a conservation of 3.25 million gallons of non-revenue water.
