Renovations and water problems meet in two ways: the reno uncovers old moisture nobody knew about, or the reno causes a new leak — a nicked line, a drilled loop, a re-plumbed bathroom that weeps into the unit below on day one. Both are cheaper to handle before drywall closes. AnyLeak.ca supports BC condo renovations at three moments. Since 1999.
Before: baseline and clearance
- Moisture baseline — a documented map of existing conditions, so pre-existing damp isn’t blamed on your contractor (or vice versa).
- Trace before you cut — locating in-slab water lines and radiant loops before coring; in concrete buildings, pair with slab scanning for rebar and post-tension clearance — drilling a PT cable or a hot loop is the renovation disaster.
During: when something gets wet
If moisture appears mid-project, fast diagnosis keeps the schedule: is it the new plumbing, an old hidden leak the demo exposed, or condensation on newly opened cold surfaces? Testing names it while walls are conveniently open.
After: verification
Before closing and before the first guest shower, new wet-zone work deserves verification — pan flood tests, supply observation under pressure, drain flow checks (see bathroom testing). A verified-dry handover protects the owner, the contractor and the neighbour below; see between-unit stakes.
FAQ
Strata asked for proof our reno didn’t cause a leak — can you provide it? Yes — that’s exactly what baseline-plus-verification documentation is for.

A Closer Look at This Service
The cost of finding a leak is small compared to the cost of the damage it causes. A month of undetected leaking can wet insulation, rot framing, wash soil, and attract mould in the time it takes to book an inspection.
Local knowledge matters because the same symptom can point to completely different causes in different cities. The interview, the property history, and the site conditions are always weighed together before any instrument is deployed.
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
The second most common mistake is repairing the symptom. Patching the drywall, repainting the ceiling, or sealing the visible crack does not stop the water; it hides it. The water finds the next weak point, and the pattern repeats.
What This Costs
Most property-level investigations in British Columbia are quoted as a fixed fee once the situation is understood. The quote covers the technician’s time, the instruments, the investigation, and the written report.

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
You keep the report. It documents the finding, the condition at the time of the investigation, and the guidance for the repair, which is useful for warranty, insurance, and future reference.

When to Call
Call when a decision needs documentation: an insurance claim, a real estate transaction, a strata dispute, or a warranty process. Those decisions run on evidence, and the evidence has to exist before the deadline.
Call when a repair contractor cannot find the source. Blind replacement of pipe, membrane, or roofing is expensive, and it fails when the true cause is elsewhere. The investigation answers the question the contractor could not.
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.
