Duncan Leak Detection FAQ
In Duncan, the most common leaks come from the combination of local building stock and ground conditions described above — aging supply lines, slab and underground service leaks, and building-envelope or crawlspace moisture. A professional assessment identifies which applies to your specific property.
Certified technicians use non-invasive methods — acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas, ground-penetrating radar and moisture mapping — to pinpoint the source before any opening is made. This is true across Vancouver Island and throughout Duncan.
When you notice an unexplained rise in your water bill, hear running water with everything off, or see staining, warping, musty odours or warm floor spots. These signs mean water is moving where it shouldn't — a professional assessment confirms whether and where, before damage compounds.
