Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Leak Detection in Richmond
Radar mapping of pipes, voids and saturated ground beneath slabs — for homes, businesses and stratas across Richmond.
Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Leak Detection in Richmond, British Columbia
Homeowners, strata councils and businesses across Richmond call on us for ground-penetrating radar (gpr) leak detection when a hidden leak threatens their property. As a division of Anyleak.ca, serving British Columbia since 1999, we bring 27+ years of leak-detection experience to every Richmond property — backed by advanced thermal, acoustic and tracer-gas equipment.
Richmond is part of Metro Vancouver, an area of low-lying island terrain with a high water table that makes slab and underground leaks especially common. Richmond 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. 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.
Our technicians work throughout Richmond and its neighbourhoods — including Richmond Centre, Steveston, Brighouse, Hamilton, Thompson, Seafair — providing non-invasive gpr scanning 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 Richmond gpr scanning process
- 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.

What you receive
GPR Scanning in Richmond — FAQs
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.
Do you provide gpr scanning throughout Richmond?
Yes. We serve all of Richmond and the surrounding Metro Vancouver, including Richmond Centre, Steveston, Brighouse, Hamilton and nearby communities. Call 604-239-9934 to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you reach Richmond?
We schedule Richmond appointments promptly and prioritise active leaks. Response times depend on your exact location and current demand — call 604-239-9934 and we'll give you a realistic window.
Will gpr scanning damage my Richmond property?
No. Our detection is non-invasive — we locate the leak precisely first, so any repair opening is as small as possible, protecting your finishes and structure.
