Pipe Tracing & Mapping

Where pipes go when the drawings are wrong or missing is one of the most common questions in retrofit and infrastructure work. Electromagnetic tracing, sonde-based locating and where applicable tracer-wire methods produce an accurate map of buried piping for as-built documentation. Output is referenced site plans suitable for engineering use, with depth and material annotations where data supports them.

Why Pipe Leak Detection for pipe tracing & mapping

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 pipe tracing & mapping often combine it with In-Pipe Camera Inspection or Wall-Loss Assessment — 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).
