Ground Microphone 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.

Ground microphones are highly sensitive acoustic sensors mounted on a tripod or handheld probe that make direct contact with the ground or building surface to detect leak vibrations. Unlike airborne listening devices, ground microphones isolate vibrations transmitted through solid materials, making them exceptionally effective at detecting the sound of water escaping from buried or embedded pipes. The operator walks a systematic grid pattern over the suspected pipe route, listening through noise-cancelling headphones for the characteristic leak sound and noting the loudest point on the surface.
