Non-Invasive Water Leak Detection Across British Columbia
Find hidden leaks without tearing walls, cutting concrete, or digging trenches. We use 8+ non-invasive detection technologies to pinpoint leaks precisely — saving you thousands in unnecessary demolition and repair.
Why Non-Invasive Detection?
Unnecessary Damage
We locate leaks precisely before any demolition — no exploratory holes, no trenching to find the pipe, no cutting walls on a guess.
Average Repair Savings
Pinpointing the exact leak location before repair reduces excavation, demolition, and restoration costs by up to 70%.
Documented Evidence
Every investigation produces thermal images, moisture readings, and GPS data — accepted by all major BC insurers.

Infrared Thermography
Non-contact thermal imaging that detects temperature differences caused by moisture accumulation behind walls, ceilings, and floors.
Acoustic Listening Survey
Using ground microphones and listening discs to detect the sound of water escaping from pressurized pipes through soil, concrete, and building materials.
Leak Noise Correlation
Mathematical calculation of leak position using two sensors placed at known access points along a pipe, measuring sound arrival time differential.
Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Radar pulses that image subsurface conditions to map buried pipes, identify voids, and detect soil saturation zones indicating underground leaks.
Tracer Gas Testing
A 95:5 nitrogen-hydrogen gas mixture is injected into an isolated pipe section. The gas escapes through leaks and rises to the surface for detection by a sensitive gas sniffer.
Sonar Hydrophone Detection
Underwater acoustic sensors inserted directly into the water column through hydrants or taps to detect leaks in large-diameter and deep-buried pipes.
Video Pipe Inspection (CCTV)
Push-camera and crawler-cam inspection of sewer, drain, and pipe interiors to visually identify leaks, blockages, cracks, and root intrusion.
Electronic Leak Detection (ELD)
Low-voltage current applied across waterproofing membranes to detect breaches. Electrical resistance paths reveal pinholes and defects in flat roofs and waterproofing.
Moisture Meter Testing
Pin-type and pinless meters that measure the actual moisture content percentage in building materials, providing quantitative data for damage assessment.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
Isolating a pipe section and pressurizing it to verify integrity. Pressure drop over time confirms a leak, and the rate of drop indicates leak severity.
Smoke Testing
Non-toxic theatrical smoke is introduced into the drainage or vent system. Smoke exiting through leaks, cracks, or faulty connections reveals their location.
Fluorescent Dye Testing
Non-toxic fluorescent dye is introduced into the water system. The dye appears at leak points under UV light, clearly identifying the leak source.
