Residential Leak Detection in Vancouver, BC
Complete leak detection services for BC homes including single-family houses, duplexes, and townhomes.
Every residential property is unique, and our approach is tailored to the age, construction type, and specific concerns of each home. For older BC homes (pre-1980), we focus on the common failure points: galvanized pipe corrosion, cast iron sewer deterioration, foundation settlement cracks, and single-pane window condensation issues. For homes built in the 1980s through 2000s, we pay particular attention to building envelope concerns, particularly if the home has stucco or EIFS cladding systems that are common in this era. For newer construction, we check for plumbing installation defects, HVAC condensation management issues, and construction moisture that has not properly dried.
Our residential inspection protocol is thorough but non-invasive. We inspect the roof and attic, all plumbing fixtures and supply lines, the foundation and basement or crawlspace, exterior cladding and windows, and the grading and drainage around the property. We use thermal imaging as our primary screening tool, then follow up with moisture meters, acoustic detectors, or tracer gas as needed to confirm and pinpoint findings. The result is a comprehensive residential moisture assessment that gives homeowners confidence that their property is dry and sound. For homes on the market, our inspection provides sellers with a clean bill of health and buyers with peace of mind. We also offer priority scheduling for homeowners with active leaks who need immediate answers.

About Vancouver
Vancouver's mild, wet climate and aging housing stock create ideal conditions for hidden water leaks, particularly in the city's many wood-frame buildings and concrete high-rises. The leaky condo legacy means thousands of buildings from the 1980-2000 era require specialized envelope inspections. Vancouver's coastal rainforest climate with over 1,200 mm of annual rainfall creates persistent moisture challenges for buildings of all ages. The city's diverse housing stock ranges from century-old heritage homes in Kitsilano and Shaughnessy to modern glass towers in Yaletown and Coal Harbour. Common leak issues include roof failures from rain penetration, building envelope failures in older wood-frame structures, underground service line breaks from ground movement, and plumbing leaks in aging copper pipes common in pre-1980s construction.
