So in situations were utilities have underground breaks around here they use what's called a HiPot. It floods the conductor with high voltage so that arching occurs over the broken area, which can usually be heard or sometimes be seen via smoke. Though I'm sure a similar method could be used in your situation, I don't have any personal experience with it so I can't recommend anything specific. You may be able to use a neon bulb transformer to accomplish this effect, but again I'm not sure. If you do find a break you can use an underground cable splice kit to repair it as long as you have enough slack to work the wire. Best of luck to you.
