Institutions can’t pause for a leak chase: classes run, care continues, and the facilities team is asked to diagnose a roof the size of a city block between bells. Aerial investigation fits that reality — the whole roof or campus surveyed from above, nobody on the membrane, nothing disrupted below. AnyLeak.ca serves BC schools, hospitals, care facilities and campuses, building on our healthcare and school leak detection practice. Since 1999.

Institutional realities we design around

  • Occupied-site sensitivity — flights scheduled around schedules and privacy expectations; sensors document the building fabric, and school surveys can run outside class hours entirely.
  • Moisture as a health concern — early, precise location protects indoor environments, not just finishes; see hidden moisture investigation.
  • Aging portfolios — districts and authorities own buildings across decades of construction; comparable aerial condition reports inform which roof gets this year’s budget.
  • Accountability — findings in writing, with imagery, fit for board reports and insurance files.

What gets surveyed

Flat and low-slope roofs over gyms, pools, wards and libraries; building envelopes on towers and heritage blocks; courtyard and podium assemblies; portable/modular roofs across school sites. The aerial map directs the ground confirmation — thermal, moisture mapping, membrane testing — so openings and repairs land exactly where needed.

FAQ

Can you survey a hospital without entering clinical areas? Yes — that’s the point of the aerial phase; any interior confirmation is coordinated with facilities and infection-prevention teams.

District-wide campaigns? Yes — many sites, one mobilization plan, per-site reports your capital planner can rank.

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.

The best detection work is done by people who have seen the region’s buildings and buried systems fail in every common way. That experience is what turns a set of readings into a confident, cross-verified answer.

A professional investigation does not end with a verbal summary. It ends with a written report, and that report is the point of the exercise: a document that carries the finding, the evidence, and the guidance to the repair.

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 most common mistake is waiting: waiting for the stain to dry, waiting for the bill to settle, waiting for the leak to announce itself. Water does not wait, and every week of waiting grows the repair scope.

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.

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 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.

What the Report Includes

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.

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 the indicator is persistent, when it repeats after a repair, or when it is accompanied by a second indicator. A single passing event can be a coincidence; a pattern is a leak.

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.

How to Prepare the Property

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.
