Leak Detection for Retail & Shopping Plazas
Multi-tenant retail plazas share roofs, slabs and drainage, so one leak can affect several stores and spark disputes over who pays.
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.
Strip malls and plazas combine large flat or low-slope roofs, shared slabs and common drainage across many tenants. Roof-membrane and under-slab leaks are common and cross tenancy boundaries.
