Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Leak Detection in British Columbia
Radar mapping of pipes, voids and saturated ground beneath slabs.
What is ground-penetrating radar (gpr) leak detection?
Ground-Penetrating Radar sends radio pulses into concrete or soil and reads the reflections to map buried pipes, rebar, voids and zones of saturation. Before any leak is excavated, GPR lets us see what is under the surface — so we cut in the right place, avoid hitting utilities, and confirm wash-out around a leaking line.
How our gpr scanning process works
- 1We pass the GPR antenna over the slab or ground in a grid pattern.
- 2Reflections reveal the depth and path of pipes, conduits and rebar.
- 3Saturated soil and voids created by a leak show as distinct signatures.
- 4We mark utilities and the suspected leak zone to guide a safe, precise dig.

GPR Scanning — frequently asked questions
What can GPR detect?
GPR maps metallic and non-metallic pipes, rebar, conduit, voids and changes in soil moisture — making it ideal for planning a safe, accurate excavation.
Is GPR used alone?
Usually it is paired with acoustic detection: acoustics finds the leak's sound, and GPR confirms the pipe path, depth and surrounding ground before digging.
