Professional leak detection documentation is as important as the detection itself. A field investigation that produces a clear, defensible written report — with annotated photographs, moisture readings, site plans, and prioritised remediation recommendations — gives property owners, engineers, insurers, and strata councils the information they need to make decisions and coordinate repairs. AnyLeak provides comprehensive written leak detection reports for all investigation types, formatted to meet the documentation requirements of BC commercial, municipal, strata, and industrial property sectors.
Standard Investigation Report Components
AnyLeak’s standard investigation reports include: property address and investigation date; scope of investigation and areas accessed; weather conditions and test parameters where applicable; methodology description with equipment used; findings for each area investigated with source identification, severity classification, and annotated photographs; moisture readings tabulated by location; and remediation recommendations ranked by priority. Reports are delivered in PDF format within two business days of the site investigation.
Insurance and Legal Documentation Standards
Reports prepared for insurance claim or legal proceedings follow documentation standards that include detailed evidence chain documentation, explicit methodology descriptions, basis for conclusions, and a clear distinction between observed evidence and interpretation. AnyLeak’s reports for insurance and legal applications are prepared by experienced leak detection specialists and reviewed before delivery to ensure completeness and accuracy.
Strata and Building Management Report Formats
Strata councils, property management companies, and building management teams require reports formatted for presentation to non-technical audiences, strata meetings, and building management review processes. AnyLeak provides executive summary sections, non-technical source descriptions, and cost-range estimates for remediation to support building management decision-making alongside the full technical investigation detail.
Regulatory and Compliance Documentation
Municipalities, government facility operators, and regulated industries require leak detection documentation that meets specific reporting standards for public reporting, environmental compliance, or occupational health and safety requirements. AnyLeak customises report formats to meet regulatory documentation requirements on request, and can provide data in electronic GIS-compatible formats for infrastructure management systems.

A Closer Look at This Service
Water does not negotiate. It moves along the path of least resistance, and every day it moves, the damage grows. The question is not whether to investigate; it is when, and the answer is always sooner rather than later.
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 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 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
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.
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
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 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
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.
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 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.
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
If there is an active leak, the priority is containment: shut off the water at the fixture or main if it can be done safely, move valuables away, and photograph the scene. The technician can be guided by phone while en route.

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.
