Water Leak Detection in British Columbia
Pinpoint hidden water leaks without tearing your property apart.
What is water leak detection?
Water leak detection is the precise, non-invasive location of escaping water inside walls, ceilings, floors, slabs and supply lines. Rather than guessing and opening drywall, our technicians combine thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas and pressure testing to isolate the exact source — so repairs are small, targeted and far less expensive.
How our water leak detection process works
- 1We review your symptoms, water-meter behaviour and building history to narrow the search area.
- 2Thermal imaging maps temperature anomalies that reveal moisture behind finished surfaces.
- 3Acoustic sensors and correlators listen for the high-frequency sound of pressurised water escaping a pipe.
- 4Tracer gas or pressure testing confirms the leak on lines that are not actively running.
- 5We mark the precise location and document our findings with photos and readings.

Water Leak Detection — frequently asked questions
Can you find a leak without breaking walls?
Yes. Our equipment is designed to locate leaks non-invasively. We only recommend opening a wall once the exact spot is confirmed, which keeps any repair as small as possible.
How accurate is leak detection?
By combining several technologies — thermal, acoustic, tracer gas and pressure testing — we typically pinpoint a leak to within a few centimetres before any access is made.
How long does a leak detection visit take?
Most residential inspections take one to two hours. Larger commercial buildings or multiple suspected leaks can take longer; we confirm scope before we begin.
