Pressure Testing 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.

Pressure testing involves isolating a section of pipe or system and applying controlled air or water pressure to measure its ability to hold pressure over time. A pressure drop indicates the presence of a leak, and the rate of pressure loss helps estimate the leak's severity. For water systems, we use hydrostatic testing where the system is filled with water and pressurised. For systems that must remain dry, we perform pneumatic (air) pressure testing. Pressure testing is often the first step in confirming whether a leak exists before deploying location-specific detection technologies.
