Cross-Section Profiling

Cross-section profiling captures the interior geometry of a pipe with millimetre accuracy — deformation, ovality, misalignment, intrusion, deposits. The work is the basis for fitness-for-service analysis on large gravity and pressure mains. We deliver pipe-by-pipe cross-sections as engineering data, not video, with output formats matched to your design software.

Why Pipe Leak Detection for cross-section profiling

Pipe Leak Detection is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.

We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.

Pairs well with

Clients booking cross-section profiling often combine it with In-Pipe Camera Inspection or Pipe Tracing & Mapping — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.

How to prepare for your visit

1. Document what you're seeing. Photos, dates, sounds, water-bill changes, anything unusual. The more we know in advance, the faster we can locate.
2. Clear access to the suspected area. Move furniture, stored items, and rugs. Non-invasive methods still need clear sightlines.
3. Have system history ready. Recent plumbing work, prior leaks, renovations, age of property, prior insurance claims.
4. Confirm the email for your report. Photo-linked report delivered within 48 hours (often same-day for residential).
