Single-Family Home Leak Detection in BC
Detached homes across BC hide dozens of metres of pressurized pipe behind walls, under slabs and in crawlspaces. The most expensive leaks are the ones you never see — until the damage and the bill arrive.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Single-family home leak detection locates concealed leaks throughout a house — in supply lines behind walls and ceilings, beneath the foundation slab, on the buried service line, and in the building envelope. The goal is to pinpoint the source non-invasively so any repair is small and targeted, and to document it for insurance.
Detection Methods
Pinpointing pressurized supply and slab leaks to within inches.
Finding leaks under the concrete foundation without breaking the floor.
Revealing moisture behind walls, under floors and across ceilings.
Tracing and locating the buried supply line between the meter and the house.
Scoping the extent of water damage for drying and claims.
Why It Matters
A slow hidden leak quietly inflates every water and sewer bill
Early, precise location means a small, cheap repair instead of major damage
A documented assessment supports a clean insurance claim and any city leak adjustment

Single-Family Homes Leak Detection FAQ
Warning signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, musty odours, staining or warping, and warm spots on floors. A professional assessment confirms whether a leak exists and exactly where, without opening walls.
Yes. Acoustic equipment, thermal cameras, tracer gas and moisture meters locate the source so only the confirmed spot needs to be opened, if any — that is the entire purpose of professional leak detection.
