Smoke Testing 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.

Smoke testing uses non-toxic, odourless artificial smoke introduced into drain, vent, or sewer systems under low pressure to visually identify where smoke escapes, indicating a leak path or illegal connection. The smoke follows the same path that sewer gases would take, making it ideal for detecting DWV system leaks, identifying roof vent breaches, locating illegal storm-to-sanitary cross-connections, and tracing unknown pipe routes. The coloured smoke is harmless to people, pets, and building materials and dissipates quickly without staining.
