Acoustic Leak Detection Leak Detection in Burnaby, BC
Burnaby's mix of older single-family neighbourhoods and rapidly growing multi-family complexes presents diverse leak detection challenges. The city's hillside properties on Burnaby Mountain require special attention to drainage and retaining wall moisture issues. Burnaby's mix of post-war single-family homes, 1970s low-rise apartments, and new high-rise developments creates varied leak detection challenges across the city. Areas near Burnaby Mountain and the Deer Lake watershed have high water tables that contribute to foundation drainage issues. Strata properties are particularly prevalent in Burnaby, with many complexes built during the 1980s and 1990s now requiring building envelope assessments and leak investigations for depreciation reports.

Acoustic leak detection uses sensitive listening devices and ground microphones to amplify the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes. Water under pressure escaping through a breach generates a characteristic sound that travels through pipe walls and the surrounding medium. Our technicians are trained to distinguish leak sounds from background building noise, and our equipment filters out extraneous frequencies to isolate the leak signature. This method is highly effective for pressurised water supply lines and is the primary technique for locating underground and slab-embedded leaks.
