If you wanted to design ground for ground-penetrating radar, you’d design Chilliwack: Fraser River gravels and sandy outwash that carry radar deep and clean. That makes GPR unusually decisive here — services, irrigation mains, old buried tanks and the disturbed ground around a leak all image well. AnyLeak.ca puts that advantage to work across Chilliwack and the eastern Valley. Since 1999.
Radar at its best
In gravel, GPR doesn’t just find the pipe — it often shows the washout cavity a long-running leak has carved around it. We confirm with acoustic listening and tracer gas, then mark the dig. On the same free-draining gravels, leaks rarely surface — the water heads down toward the aquifer, which is why Chilliwack leaks are so often found by the bill, not the puddle.
Chilliwack work we handle
- Residential services — Sardis, Promontory and Vedder homes with meters that won’t sit still; see water main detection.
- Farm systems — dairy, berry and hops operations with kilometres of buried line; zone isolation plus tracing; see irrigation leaks.
- Strata complexes — townhouse sites across the growing east side; see townhouse stratas.
- Pre-dig utility scans — utility locating in ground that hides everything well.
FAQ
Big water bill, bone-dry yard — how? Gravel. The leak drains straight down. Radar tracing plus acoustic work finds it without a single test hole.
Slab-on-grade home — can you check under the floor? Yes — see in-slab leak detection; gravel bedding under slabs images well here too.

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.
Every city in British Columbia presents its own combination of soil, climate, construction stock, and water systems, and detection work has to respect those differences. The plan is built accordingly.
The investigation is a quiet, methodical process. Instruments are calibrated on site, readings are recorded, and the technician explains what each step is looking for. There is no demolition, no noise beyond the instruments, and no mess left behind.
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 third mistake is assuming the leak is in the same room as the stain. Water travels along structure for surprising distances, and the visible stain is almost never the source. The investigation traces the path before any repair is planned.
What This Costs in Chilliwack
Pricing for this service in Chilliwack 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.
Every property is different, which is why pricing follows the investigation plan rather than a menu. The free consultation defines the scope, and the fixed quote follows it. What you are quoted is what you pay.
Insurance and Documentation
Insurance claims fail most often because of missing documentation. A dated, photographed, method-by-method report removes that failure point and gives the adjuster a professional document they can rely on.
For Chilliwack 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
The report is written in plain language first and professional language second. Owners read the conclusion and the cause; contractors and adjusters read the method notes and the readings. Both are in the same document.
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.
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.
How to Prepare the Property
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.
The best preparation is information: when the issue started, what changed around that time, what the weather did, and what has already been tried. That history is often more valuable than any instrument.
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.
