Electronic 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.

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.
