Leak Detection for Parking Structures
Parkades are where building leaks often surface — and where slab leaks, membrane failures and corrosion quietly threaten the structure above.
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.
In-depth detection guidance for parking structures, tied to every BC city.
Below-grade and elevated parkades carry suspended slabs, waterproofing membranes and embedded post-tension or rebar reinforcement. Water intrusion corrodes reinforcement and signals leaks from the building above.
- Suspended-slab and membrane leaks
- Below-grade wall and drainage water intrusion
- Plumbing and mechanical leaks surfacing in the parkade
- Expansion-joint and penetration leaks
- GPR scanning for embedded reinforcement and voids before any cut
- Moisture mapping of slabs and walls
- Tracing leaks back to the building source above
Why It Matters
Protects structural reinforcement from corrosion
Identifies building leaks early at their surfacing point
Supports strata and structural documentation
Relevant Detection Services
Assessing parkade slabs for moisture, voids and reinforcement.
Ground-penetrating radar images what's beneath slabs and ground before any cutting.
Locating tensioned cables before any core or cut.
Meters and mapping chart the true extent of moisture behind finishes.
Parking Structures — Frequently Asked
Parkade ceilings are often the lowest point where building leaks surface. Tracing the staining back up through the structure locates the true source, and GPR ensures any repair avoids embedded cables and rebar.
Other Infrastructure Properties
Concerned about a leak in your parking structure?
Hidden leaks rarely reveal themselves until the damage is done. If you suspect a leak, a certified technician can locate it non-invasively and document it for insurance.
