Some condo leaks end up contested: owner versus owner over a ceiling, owner versus corporation over a chargeback, corporation versus contractor over a failed repair. BC stratas resolve these through internal processes and, increasingly, the Civil Resolution Tribunal — and every venue rewards the same thing: clear, neutral, factual evidence. AnyLeak.ca produces exactly that. Since 1999. (We are leak-detection specialists, not lawyers; our role is the physical facts. This page is general information, not legal advice.)
What evidence-grade looks like
- Method transparency — what was tested, how, and what each test showed; see our process.
- A located source — component and position, photographed and described; see between-unit investigations.
- Measured extent — moisture mapping rather than impressions.
- Neutral language — findings, not advocacy; the same report serves both sides, which is why it settles arguments.
Common dispute scenarios
Chargeback contests turn on where the source sits; repeat-leak disputes turn on whether the second event is the old cause or a new one (testing answers it); deductible allocations turn on the documented file. In each case the physical finding does the heavy lifting before anyone argues.
FAQ
Can both parties rely on one report? That’s the point of neutrality — councils often commission us jointly precisely to avoid duelling opinions.
Do you appear or answer questions in proceedings? Our written findings are built to stand alone; we answer factual questions about them as needed.

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.
Local knowledge matters because the same symptom can point to completely different causes in different cities. The interview, the property history, and the site conditions are always weighed together before any instrument is deployed.
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.
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.
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.

What the Report Includes
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.
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 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.
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.
How to Prepare the Property
Clear access to the meter, the main shut-off, the water heater, and the areas showing indicators speeds the investigation. A cleared path saves the technician’s time, which is your time on the quote.

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.
