Kitchen leaks are slow and sneaky: a quarter-turn fitting on a fridge line weeping into the cabinet base, a dishwasher connection misting under the counter, a sink drain seeping into the floor assembly. By the time the laminate lifts or the neighbour’s ceiling stains, the water has been moving for weeks. AnyLeak.ca pinpoints kitchen leaks at the fitting, since 1999.
Small lines, big damage
- Fridge/ice-maker feeds — thin lines with push fittings, hidden behind the unit.
- Dishwasher supply and drain — connections that fail under the counter; drips follow the floor, not gravity straight down.
- Sink traps and garburator joints — flow-dependent; see drain leaks.
- In-wall and in-floor supplies to islands — effectively slab-line leaks in concrete buildings.
Finding it without tearing out cabinets
Moisture mapping across the floor and cabinet bases, thermal imaging of the plume, individual fitting checks under observation and flow tests on drains isolate the source — usually in one visit. In multi-unit buildings the same evidence settles whose suite the water started in: see between-unit leaks and insurance documentation.
FAQ
Cabinet base swollen but everything looks dry — worth testing? Yes: swelling is the symptom of a slow active weep; meters find moisture sight can’t.
We just got a new dishwasher — coincidence? Frequently not; new connections are a common leak start.

A Closer Look at This Service
Water follows gravity, the path of least resistance, and the buried corridor it sits in, which is why the stain you see is almost never directly above the leak. Understanding where water travels is the entire basis of professional detection work.
The best detection work is done by people who have seen the region’s buildings and buried systems fail in every common way. That experience is what turns a set of readings into a confident, cross-verified answer.
You do not need to prepare anything except access to the relevant areas. The technician will ask where the indicators are, which systems have been worked on, and what the history shows, and the answers shape the plan.
How the Investigation Is Delivered
Every investigation follows the same disciplined sequence: consultation, survey, testing, cross-verification, marking, and documentation. The sequence is deliberate, and each step builds on the last.
- Step 1: Consultation to understand the situation and the history
- Step 2: Site survey and indicator mapping
- Step 3: Testing of the suspected systems with matched methods
- Step 4: Cross-verification of the finding
- Step 5: Marking and documentation
- Step 6: Written, dated report
A fourth mistake is hiring a repair contractor to find the leak. Contractors are paid to repair, and their interest is in the work, not in the precision of the location. An independent detection team has no repair to sell, only an answer to deliver.
What This Costs
Pricing for this service in British Columbia depends on the scope of the investigation: the systems to be tested, the size of the property, and whether the finding is confirmed with a second method. A fixed quote is provided before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Insurance and Documentation
The report produced after a this investigation investigation is written with insurers in mind. It documents the cause, the extent, the methods used, and the readings taken, so the adjuster has everything needed to process the claim.
For BC policyholders, the practical value is speed: the claim starts with the report already in hand, instead of weeks of back-and-forth while the insurer tries to establish what happened.
What the Report Includes
Reports are dated and structured so that any licensed contractor can take the marked location and proceed directly to the repair. They are also accepted by insurers, engineers, property managers, and, when needed, in dispute processes.

When to Call
Call before the damage becomes visible if the meter is moving with everything off. That reading is the earliest and cheapest moment to act, and acting early is what makes the repair small.

How to Prepare the Property
Nothing else needs to be done. The investigation does not require demolition, preparation of the systems, or any work on your part beyond access. Showing up with the history is the whole preparation.
Clear access to the meter, the main shut-off, the water heater, and the areas showing indicators speeds the investigation. A cleared path saves the technician’s time, which is your time on the quote.
Common Questions
Is this service non-invasive?
Yes. Every method used works from the surface and leaves no marks. Nothing is cut, dug, or permanently marked during the investigation.
How accurate is the location?
With cross-verified methods, locations are typically within a metre or less, and slab locations within inches.
Is the report useful for insurance?
Yes. The report documents the cause, the extent, the methods used, and the readings, structured for claims and engineering review.
How long does an investigation take?
Most property-level investigations complete within a day, and the written report follows within one to two business days.
Do you repair leaks?
No. Detection and documentation are the service. The report guides the repair contractor to the exact location.
What does this cost?
The quote is fixed before work begins, based on the scope defined in the free consultation. What you are quoted is what you pay.
Call (604) 269-5325 or email info@anyleak.ca for a free consultation. The report is dated, documented, and written to the standard insurers and engineers expect.
