Listening equipment that hears pressurised leaks underground and in walls — for homes, businesses and stratas across West Vancouver.
Acoustic Leak Detection in West Vancouver, British Columbia
Finding a hidden leak in West Vancouver shouldn't mean tearing out walls or floors. Our acoustic leak detection locates the source first, so any repair is targeted and minimal. As a division of Anyleak.ca, serving British Columbia since 1999, we bring 27+ years of leak-detection experience to every West Vancouver property — backed by advanced thermal, acoustic and tracer-gas equipment.
West Vancouver is part of Metro Vancouver, an area of luxury hillside estates with complex plumbing, pools and extensive irrigation. West Vancouver sits in one of the wettest regions in Canada, and that relentless West Coast moisture means roofs, building envelopes and below-grade walls are under constant pressure — small leaks here escalate into rot and mould far faster than in a dry climate. Acoustic leak detection uses highly sensitive ground microphones, listening discs and digital correlators to hear the sound a pressurised pipe makes as water escapes. It is the gold standard for underground supply lines, slab leaks and buried services where the leak cannot be seen, letting us locate the source without excavation.
Our technicians work throughout West Vancouver and its neighbourhoods — including Ambleside, Dundarave, British Properties, Caulfeild, Horseshoe Bay, Cypress — providing non-invasive acoustic detection that pinpoints the problem without unnecessary damage. Every visit ends with a clear, written report you can use for repairs, insurance or strata records.
Our West Vancouver acoustic detection process
- 1We isolate the suspect line and pressurise it where possible.
- 2Ground microphones and contact sensors sweep the area to find the loudest leak sound.
- 3A leak-noise correlator measures the sound's arrival time at two sensors to calculate the exact position along the pipe.
- 4We mark the surface directly above the leak for a minimal, targeted dig or break-out.

Acoustic Detection in West Vancouver — FAQs
Can you find a leak under concrete?
Yes. Acoustic detection and correlation are specifically suited to slab and buried-line leaks, allowing us to pinpoint the spot before any concrete is cut.
Does the pipe need to be running?
For acoustic work the line ideally holds pressure so the leak makes sound. Where a line cannot be pressurised, we switch to tracer gas instead.
