23 questions, three sections: about us, our specialty, and where we work. If yours isn't here, phone or email us — both reach a real person.
No. We use non-invasive technology — thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, tracer gas and ground-penetrating radar. No drilling, cutting or demolition required in the vast majority of cases.
Many BC home and commercial policies cover detection costs when water damage is present. We provide detailed, photo-linked reports specifically formatted for insurance claim documentation.
Same-day response for active leak emergencies across Greater Vancouver. Scheduled appointments typically available within 24 hours.
Yes — and equally. Our certified technicians work for residential, commercial and government / institutional clients throughout Greater Vancouver. Same equipment, same reporting, same standard.
You still receive a comprehensive report confirming no active leak was detected on the date of inspection. This documentation is valuable for insurance, property sales and ongoing monitoring.
Yes. Pipe Leak Detection is a sub-division of Leak.ca. Every service is delivered by the same certified Leak.ca team, with the same equipment and reporting standards.
Call 604-239-9934 or email info@Leak.ca. We don't use online quote forms — every project is scoped over a real conversation.
Yes — technicians hold professional certifications relevant to their disciplines, including thermography, acoustic leak correlation, ground-penetrating radar and pipe inspection.
Yes. We issue compliant invoices, carry the required commercial liability insurance, and produce documentation suitable for public-sector procurement and audit.
No. Our methods are non-invasive and we work alongside occupants. For commercial properties we often work after-hours to minimize disruption.
25 mm push-cam is the smallest. We also have specialty mini-scopes for tighter restrictions. For larger lines, crawlers handle up to 1500 mm. Each tool has its strengths.
Yes — with appropriate access and depressurization protocols. We coordinate with your facility team or contractor to safely interrupt service when needed.
Within 15 cm horizontally and 10-20 cm vertically, depending on depth and conditions. Sonde traces are more accurate than passive EM.
Push-cams have onboard LED lighting and high-resolution sensors that handle most conditions. Heavy turbidity or solids may require flushing before inspection.
Yes — ultrasonic thickness for accessible piping, in-pipe LiDAR for large mains, plus targeted thickness mapping on identified anomalies.
Yes — cross-section profiling with LiDAR or sonar captures exact interior geometry. Used routinely for fitness-for-service analysis on critical piping.
Yes — pre-CIPP condition data delivered in the format the lining contractor needs to size and bid the work confidently.
Yes — we routinely work alongside owners' engineers, envelope consultants and structural designers. Reports are formatted to support their stamped scopes.
