Pre-Rehabilitation Condition Assessment in British Columbia
Before committing capital to replacing or rehabilitating water mains, a municipality benefits from knowing which segments are genuinely leaking and deteriorating. Leak detection and condition assessment inform the renewal program — focusing investment on the worst-performing pipe rather than replacing by age alone.
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.

Pre-Rehabilitation Condition Assessment — FAQ
Replacing by age alone can renew sound pipe while leaving failing segments in service. A leak survey and condition assessment show which segments are actually leaking and deteriorating, so the renewal program targets the highest-risk pipe first.

Pinpoint leaks on buried distribution and transmission mains without excavating the whole street.
Recover treated water lost to leaks before it reaches customers — and target the worst losses first.
Walk the network listening at every valve and hydrant to surface hidden background leakage.
Two sensors on the main, one mathematical fix — leak position to within inches on long runs.
Large-diameter supply mains carry huge volumes — a single leak is a major, hard-to-hear loss.
Divide the network into measured zones so rising night flow flags leakage early.
Right-sizing pressure cuts both leakage volume and the rate of new breaks.
Hydrants and valves are the network's listening posts — and assets worth checking themselves.
Deploy loggers across a zone to listen overnight and report where new leakage appears.
Locate the break, find any related leakage, and document the failure for the record.
Know exactly where the buried main, valves and connections run before any work.
