Leak Noise Correlation 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.

Leak noise correlation is an advanced acoustic technique that uses two or more sensors placed at accessible points along a pipe (such as hydrants, valves, or exposed stubs) connected to a correlator processor. The processor measures the time delay of the leak sound reaching each sensor and calculates the exact position of the leak along the pipe. This mathematical approach eliminates the need to follow a sound gradient and provides precise distance measurements from known reference points, making it the most accurate method for locating leaks on long, continuous pipe runs.
