AnyLeak provides non-invasive leak detection for government-owned and institutional strata properties across British Columbia, including public-housing complexes, student residences, and government-leased multi-unit facilities. Government properties combine strict procurement documentation requirements with public-accountability reporting standards and frequently occupied tenancy that rules out invasive investigation. Since 1999 we have delivered acoustic, thermal, and GPR investigations with the written reporting and methodology documentation that government asset-management and procurement processes require.
Documented Investigation for Government Property Management
Government property managers and contracted facility teams require leak investigations documented to the standard that supports audit trails, capital-budget justification, and tenant-communication protocols. AnyLeak’s reports include methodology, equipment, source identification, severity ranking, moisture data, and remediation recommendations — the complete record government asset management needs for authorization and approval.
Student Housing and Public-Housing Leak Assessment
Student residences and public-housing complexes carry high occupancy where water damage affects tenants immediately. AnyLeak locates leaks using non-invasive methods that don’t require unit evacuation, works around tenant schedules, and provides results quickly so housing managers can plan repairs with minimal disruption to residents.
Envelope and Exterior Investigation Under Access Constraints
Government properties often impose site-access requirements, tenant-privacy protocols, and operational constraints that affect investigation planning. AnyLeak adapts investigation methods to work within these constraints — scheduling work during low-occupancy windows, avoiding certain areas, and sequencing the investigation to minimize facility disruption.
Budget Justification and Capital-Planning Support
Leak investigations support government property managers in justifying capital-repair budgets and securing approval from funding authorities. AnyLeak’s findings — precise source location, extent of damage, and prioritized remediation — give asset managers the data they need to build credible capital-plan submissions with cost estimates and risk ranking.

- Affected area: common-property, tenant units, parkade, or envelope
- Occupancy constraints and preferred access windows
- Procurement and approval requirements (documentation format, timelines)
- Site access, security, or tenant-notification protocols
- Existing maintenance records and prior leak history

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you investigate occupied housing without displacing tenants?
Yes. Non-invasive thermal imaging and acoustic methods work in occupied units. We coordinate access with housing management, schedule around tenant schedules, and complete assessment without requiring unit evacuation in most cases.
Do your reports meet government procurement documentation standards?
Yes. We provide methodology, equipment specifications, source identification, severity ranking, moisture readings, photographic evidence, and prioritized recommendations in the format typical government asset-management and procurement processes expect.
How do government property managers engage AnyLeak for multi-unit properties?
Contact us at info@anyleak.ca or (604) 269-5325. We respond to direct requests and formal procurement; provide references from comparable government and institutional clients.
Can you help justify the cost of repairs to a funding authority?
Yes. Our written findings — source location, extent, and remediation cost estimate — provide the documentation a property manager needs to justify capital-budget requests to funding authorities.

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.
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
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 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.
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.
What the Report Includes
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.
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 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
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.
