23 questions, three sections: about us, our specialty, and where we work. If yours isn't here, phone or email us — both reach a real person.
No. We use non-invasive technology — thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, tracer gas and ground-penetrating radar. No drilling, cutting or demolition required in the vast majority of cases.
Many BC home and commercial policies cover detection costs when water damage is present. We provide detailed, photo-linked reports specifically formatted for insurance claim documentation.
Same-day response for active leak emergencies across Greater Vancouver. Scheduled appointments typically available within 24 hours.
Yes — and equally. Our certified technicians work for residential, commercial and government / institutional clients throughout Greater Vancouver. Same equipment, same reporting, same standard.
You still receive a comprehensive report confirming no active leak was detected on the date of inspection. This documentation is valuable for insurance, property sales and ongoing monitoring.
Yes. Water Intrusion Inspection is a sub-division of Leak.ca. Every service is delivered by the same certified Leak.ca team, with the same equipment and reporting standards.
Call 604-239-9934 or email info@Leak.ca. We don't use online quote forms — every project is scoped over a real conversation.
Yes — technicians hold professional certifications relevant to their disciplines, including thermography, acoustic leak correlation, ground-penetrating radar and pipe inspection.
Yes. We issue compliant invoices, carry the required commercial liability insurance, and produce documentation suitable for public-sector procurement and audit.
No. Our methods are non-invasive and we work alongside occupants. For commercial properties we often work after-hours to minimize disruption.
ASTM E1105 (field water-penetration test): a controlled water spray at calibrated pressure differential, with observers inside watching for ingress. We supervise these tests to industry standards.
Sometimes. For close-inspection work on facades above ground-level access, we coordinate with rope-access teams. Drone IR supplements rope access for tall buildings.
It complements it. Drone IR shows the macro pattern and identifies hot spots; close inspection (rope, swing-stage) confirms findings and assesses repair scope.
Thermal imaging shows the pattern; moisture meters quantify it through accessible openings; investigative probes (small, controlled openings) confirm before any large-scale remediation.
Field-grade reports are signed by our certified technicians. Stamping is provided by your engineer of record working from our findings — common workflow for envelope work.
Yes — many of our facade engagements run alongside an engineer or building science firm. We supply field findings, they translate into scope and stamped specifications.
Initial visit: half a day to a day. Full investigation including testing and probes: 2-5 days depending on facade size. Reporting: 1-2 weeks after field completion.
Investigative probes are small, controlled and closed back. Water-spray testing is non-destructive. Where larger openings are needed, we coordinate with the owner's contractor.

Same-day mobilization with ferry-schedule coordination. We carry equipment that fits on standard vehicles, and most Bowen Island jobs complete within a single sailing window.
Within Greater Vancouver: no. We deliver to every postal code in the Metro Vancouver Regional District and the surrounding municipalities within our service area.
Yes — delta-soil construction in Richmond, Delta, and Pitt Meadows has its own moisture, slab, and drainage patterns we routinely investigate. The same applies for hillside areas like North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Anmore.
Phone and email are the only ways to reach us — both go to a real person.
