A leaking sewer or drain rarely announces itself with water — it announces itself with a smell, a sinkhole, a recurring backup, or soil washing away around a buried line. Because the system isn’t pressurized, it only leaks when it flows, which is exactly why these leaks hide for months. AnyLeak.ca finds sewer and drain leaks across British Columbia using the methods built for drainage — camera, smoke and dye — since 1999.
How we find drainage leaks
- Camera inspection — a sewer camera sees cracks, offset joints, root intrusion and collapses directly, with a sonde marking the depth and position to dig.
- Smoke testing — non-toxic smoke reveals breaches, open joints and cross-connections a camera can’t reach — and finds the source of sewer odours.
- Dye and flow testing — confirms which line leaks and where it discharges.
- Line locating — sewer & drainage locating maps the run before excavation.
Residential, commercial and municipal
Homeowners with a buried lateral failing under the yard; stratas tracing shared drain stacks; commercial kitchens and floor drains; and municipal storm and sanitary mains. Each gets a located breach, on-screen evidence, and a written report for the repair and any insurance claim.
Cracked lateral or root intrusion?
Cast-iron thins and splits along the bottom; clay and concrete laterals crack and admit roots; ABS joints loosen with ground movement. Camera evidence plus a located defect tells the strata or owner exactly which section to repair — one length, not the whole run. Across BC — see service areas.
FAQ
Sewer smell but no visible water — can you find it? Yes — smoke testing finds the air path the odour escapes from, which is the breach.
My drain backs up only sometimes — why? Usage-dependent, like most drainage faults; camera inspection finds the partial blockage or break.
