Electronic Leak Detection Leak Detection in Vancouver, BC
Vancouver's mild, wet climate and aging housing stock create ideal conditions for hidden water leaks, particularly in the city's many wood-frame buildings and concrete high-rises. The leaky condo legacy means thousands of buildings from the 1980-2000 era require specialized envelope inspections. Vancouver's coastal rainforest climate with over 1,200 mm of annual rainfall creates persistent moisture challenges for buildings of all ages. The city's diverse housing stock ranges from century-old heritage homes in Kitsilano and Shaughnessy to modern glass towers in Yaletown and Coal Harbour. Common leak issues include roof failures from rain penetration, building envelope failures in older wood-frame structures, underground service line breaks from ground movement, and plumbing leaks in aging copper pipes common in pre-1980s construction.

Electronic leak detection (ELD) uses low-voltage electrical current passed across a waterproofing membrane to locate breaches. A low-voltage DC current is applied between the membrane surface and the conductive substrate below, and a handheld probe detects the electrical flow at points where the membrane is breached. ELD can detect even microscopic pinholes and is used for quality assurance on new roof and waterproofing installations, warranty verification, and troubleshooting persistent leaks in membrane systems. It is the most definitive method for confirming membrane integrity.
