In-floor radiant heat is wonderful — until the system pressure starts dropping and nobody can say where the water went. The loops are buried in concrete, run across whole floors and multiple zones, and a leak means breaking the wrong slab if you guess. AnyLeak.ca pinpoints radiant and hydronic heating leaks across BC before any concrete opens. Since 1999.
Signs of a radiant leak
- System pressure dropping; the auto-fill running often
- One floor zone unusually warm — or a cold zone that won’t heat
- Boiler-room make-up water climbing; warm stains on ceilings below heated floors
How we pinpoint in-slab loops
The warm leak plume shows through tile, hardwood or carpet on thermal imaging; tracer gas charged into the drained loop surfaces precisely at the breach; acoustic methods add confirmation. Where the loop layout is unknown, we map it first while the zone heats — including which suite or room the leak actually sits in. See radiant heating line detection, hydronic loop mapping and, in multi-unit buildings, condo radiant leak detection.
Homes, strata and commercial
Radiant runs in custom homes, condo floors and commercial and institutional slabs alike. Before any cutting, concrete scanning clears rebar and post-tension so the repair access is safe. Findings come marked and in writing for the repair and the insurance file. Across BC — service areas.
FAQ
Can you find a loop leak under tile without lifting it? Yes — heat signatures read through finished floors with the zone running.
Must the whole system shut down? Usually only the affected zone, and only briefly for confirmation.
Radiant pressure dropping? Call (604) 269-5325 for a free phone consult or book a scan.
A Closer Look at This Service
Hidden water is the most common source of expensive damage in British Columbia homes and buildings. It works silently for weeks or months, and by the time it becomes visible, the repair bill is measured in thousands rather than hundreds.
A city’s building code, its typical construction era, and its soil behaviour all leave their fingerprints on the leaks it produces. Reading those fingerprints is what makes an investigation accurate on the first visit.
The technician works methodically through the checklist, explaining each step as it happens. Questions are welcome at every stage, and the approach is adjusted when the evidence points in a new direction.
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.
The comparison that matters is not detection cost versus no cost; it is detection cost versus the cost of an undetected leak. One targeted repair, guided by an exact location, almost always costs less than exploratory work and repeated damage.
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.
The report also protects the policyholder. When the cause is documented at the time of the loss, there is no later dispute about what was found, when it was found, or what the condition was.
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.
The written report is the deliverable that separates professional detection from a good guess. It includes the confirmed location, the depth where applicable, the readings, the photographs, the methods used, and an interpretation of the cause and contributing factors.
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.
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.
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.
