Pipe Probe/Soil Probe

The Pipe Probe, also known as the Soil Probe, is the ideal add-on equipment to enhance your listening arsenal. You'll find the Pipe/Soil Probe in the Pro Complete, Plumbing and Irrigation Leak Detection Kits. The LeakTronics LT-1000 Amplifier powers the Pipe/Soil Probe, and, like all of LeakTronics' listening equipment, attaches using the standard phantom-powered XLR plug.

For Pool Technicians:

The sounds made by leaking pipes, whether from water escaping the leak or when pressurizing the pipe with air and water, resonate underground. Listening with the Soil Probe, featuring a highly sensitive tip, extends beyond the ground surface to listen to the subsurface, below concrete, landscaping, aggregate, or soil. The pointed tip allows users to listen without the distraction of handling noise caused by grass and other uneven surfaces that might otherwise cause a distraction.

The Soil Probe is ergonomically designed to listen without bending or stooping, allowing you to get right to the sounds. The small handle fits comfortably in one hand, allowing for ease of motion and adjustment when moving the device along the pipe's location. With the 3-inch listening disc attachment, included with the probe, you can remove the pointed tip and attach the disc to listen as you would with a Deck Plate. Cover hard surface areas, such as decks, sidewalks, and driveways, as well as compacted soil where lines may run. The probe is highly versatile.

For Plumbers:

The probe detaches and can be assembled shorter to make a wand. The shorter wand makes it easy to reach beneath sinks to listen to water valves, or behind toilets, washing machines, or in tight spaces where it's harder to make contact with the pipe in question. It offers the ultimate control and the highest level of sensitivity when listening to both pipes and beneath surface areas. It also functions, as mentioned above, as a complete Soil and Ground Probe, even on concrete and foundation floors.

For Irrigation Technicians:

Irrigation leak detection contractors use the Soil Probe for listening to pipes over large areas. When combined with the tools in the Irrigation Kit, like the PG-2, mapping and tracing lines is a breeze. The probe's sensitive and powerful listening capability offers unmatched excellence in underground listening.

**When acquired with the Plumbers Complete Leak Detection Kit, the probe includes a magnetic listening disc that that can be attached directly to the handle for listening to galvanized pipes with zero handling noise.

**When acquired with the Pro Complete or Irrigation Kit, the Soil Probe does not include a magnetic listening disc, as it isn't used in industries that focus on plastic and PVC pipes and plumbing lines.

**When purchased separately or as an add-on, the Probe will include the magnetic disc.
