GPR Slab Leak Investigation Support in British Columbia

Professional GPR Slab Leak Investigation Support

GPR provides critical imaging support for slab leak investigations. When a leak is suspected beneath a concrete slab, GPR maps the pipe routes, identifies voids created by water erosion, and detects soil saturation zones — all before any concrete cutting. This information focuses the investigation on the correct pipe alignment and identifies the leak zone precisely. Combined with acoustic detection, thermal imaging, and pressure testing, GPR imaging provides the complete diagnostic picture needed for targeted slab leak repair with minimal concrete cutting.
