Acoustic Leak Detection Leak Detection in Victoria, BC
Victoria's historic housing stock — including many Heritage-designated homes — combined with a mild coastal climate creates unique leak detection challenges. The city's older infrastructure and character homes require careful, non-invasive inspection methods. Victoria's mild Mediterranean-like climate with wet winters and dry summers creates distinctive leak patterns. The city has BC's highest concentration of heritage and character homes, many with original plumbing systems that are now 80-100 years old. These older homes commonly have galvanized steel pipe failures, cast iron drain stack deterioration, and roof leaks around original flashing and chimney penetrations. The City of Victoria offers a popular water leak adjustment program.

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.
