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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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 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

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.
