What it is
Hidden Water Leak Detection is one of our core residential leak-detection services. Locate hidden leaks in walls, floors, ceilings, and underground pipes. We deploy this for BC homeowners and strata residents, using the same equipment trusted by major insurers and municipalities across British Columbia.
When you need it
- Unexplained high water bills — Bill spikes that don't match your usage are the #1 sign of a hidden leak.
- Wall, ceiling, or floor stains — Brown rings, bubbling paint, or warped boards point to moisture behind the surface.
- Musty or moldy smells — Persistent dampness, often in basements or behind drywall, indicates hidden water.
- Warm spots on the floor — A classic slab-leak symptom — hot water leaking under your concrete foundation.
- Insurance claim documentation — Adjusters often require professional detection reports to approve water-damage claims.
How we do it
Our certified technicians arrive with state-of-the-art equipment: thermal imaging cameras, acoustic correlators, ground-penetrating radar, and tracer gas. Every job starts with a brief on-site assessment, followed by non-invasive testing to pinpoint the source — typically within inches.
You receive a detailed written report including findings, moisture maps, equipment used, and recommendations for next steps. Reports are formatted for insurance claims, strata councils, and engineering review as needed.
