Pipe and Cable Locating 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.

Electromagnetic pipe and cable locating uses a transmitter to induce an electromagnetic signal onto a metallic pipe or cable, which is then traced along its path using a receiver. This method accurately maps the horizontal alignment and depth of buried metallic utilities including water pipes, gas lines, electrical conduits, and telecommunications cables. For non-metallic pipes, we use GPR as a complementary technology. Our locating equipment can differentiate between multiple utilities in close proximity and provides depth measurements to guide safe excavation planning.
