Sonar Hydrophone 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.

Sonar hydrophone technology uses underwater acoustic sensors to detect leaks in buried or submerged pipes where the leak sound is transmitted through a column of water rather than through the pipe wall or surrounding soil. The hydrophone is inserted into the water column through a hydrant, standpipe, or direct tap, and listens for the acoustic signature of water escaping from the pipe. This method is exceptionally sensitive for large-diameter water mains and pipes where standard ground-surface acoustic methods may not be effective due to depth or pipe material characteristics.
