Leak Detection for Municipal Infrastructure
Water utilities and municipalities lose treated water through buried distribution mains — non-revenue water that surveys and correlation can recover.
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.
Water-main leak detection, non-revenue water surveys, correlation, DMAs and more — for every BC city and water utility.
Municipal networks run kilometres of buried water mains, service connections and hydrants. Background leakage and unreported breaks waste large volumes of treated water and undermine pressure and reliability.
- Distribution-main and service-connection leaks
- Hydrant and valve leaks
- Background leakage across districts
- Trunk-main and transmission leaks
- Acoustic leak surveys across distribution districts
- Correlation to pinpoint mains leaks to within inches
- Utility locating and tracing of buried networks

Municipal Infrastructure — Frequently Asked
Non-revenue water is treated water lost before it reaches customers — much of it through leaks. Acoustic surveys and correlation locate those leaks so utilities can repair the worst losses first.
