They know where the pipes are, the point is they don’t know where the leaks are. If there’s a leak somewhere along a five miles stretch of pipe you want to narrow things down a bit.

I bet I could find a pipe with my tingling willy if I already knew where the pipe was to begin with.

The sticks need to be a few inches at least to gauge direction though.
oooooohhhhh buuuuurrrrrrrnnnnneeeeeddddddd
Good work.The sticks need to be a few inches at least to gauge direction though
I think the only way it could work for burst pipes is if the operator feels soggy ground beneath their feet!
I think you need to take a break from the keyboard.
never said he had superpowers, I said I could not explain how he found it.
Here are some possible explanations:
He'd been there before.
He saw it on a map.
Someone told him where it was.
He was able to read the environment (e.g. plant life, contours etc.) to predict where it was.
He got lucky.
I'll leave it to you to decide which of those is probably not the answer...
you said it did appear to 'work'
if it worked it requires super powers/breaking the laws of physics
There are approximately a bazillion pipes all over the place, many of which have been there for donkey's years. You could track them all and build up a detailed complete map, but it would be expensive.
Dowsing rod technology has clearly moved on! I didn't realise the dowsing rods were so finely tuned, that not only can they detect underground water, they can now detect water that's outside of a water carrying vessel, and hence constitutes a leak
Impressive stuff.The metal pipe blocks the water signals, in the same way a tinfoil hat blocks the government’s mind control rays.Dowsing rod technology has clearly moved on!

No doubt it would take time but how difficult would it have been to start doing it when undertaking any major works? As an ongoing probect the cost is offset and would aid them in the long run.
