Concrete Scanning 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.

Concrete scanning is a specialized application of GPR technology using high-frequency antennas (1.6-2.6 GHz) to map embedded elements within concrete structures. Before any cutting, coring, or anchoring into concrete, scanning identifies the position and depth of reinforcing steel (rebar), post-tension cables, electrical conduits, in-floor heating tubes, and any voids or delamination within the slab. This service is essential for preventing catastrophic strikes of post-tension cables — which can fail catastrophically — and for locating the safest path for core drill penetrations or slab cutting for leak repair access.
