Industrial Water Leak — Frequently Asked Questions

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.

General questions about Industrial Water Leak

Will leak detection damage my property?

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.

Does insurance cover leak detection?

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.

How quickly can you respond?

Same-day response for active leak emergencies across Greater Vancouver. Scheduled appointments typically available within 24 hours.

Do you serve commercial and government clients?

Yes — and equally. Our certified technicians work for residential, commercial and government / institutional clients throughout Greater Vancouver. Same equipment, same reporting, same standard.

What if you don't find a leak?

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.

Are you the same team as Leak.ca?

Yes. Industrial Water Leak 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.

How do I get a quote?

Call 604-239-9934 or email info@Leak.ca. We don't use online quote forms — every project is scoped over a real conversation.

Are your technicians certified?

Yes — technicians hold professional certifications relevant to their disciplines, including thermography, acoustic leak correlation, ground-penetrating radar and pipe inspection.

Can you bill municipalities and procurement departments?

Yes. We issue compliant invoices, carry the required commercial liability insurance, and produce documentation suitable for public-sector procurement and audit.

Will my property need to be evacuated for the visit?

No. Our methods are non-invasive and we work alongside occupants. For commercial properties we often work after-hours to minimize disruption.

Industrial Water Leak — specialist questions

Do you have process safety credentials?

Yes — our industrial technicians work under appropriate safety qualifications for the facilities we serve. Site-specific orientation is standard before any work.

Can you inspect operating equipment?

Some scopes (thermal imaging, acoustic, external ultrasonic) work on operating equipment. Others (internal inspection, intrusive testing) require shutdown and coordinated isolation.

Do you provide deliverables in our integrity-management system format?

Yes — output formats matched to PCMS, Capstone, or your platform. Field data flows directly into your asset register.

How do you handle turnaround timing?

Pre-planning weeks in advance, multi-shift execution within the schedule, daily field deliverables and full reports after turnaround. We've supported turnarounds for multiple BC operators.

Can you scope CUI assessments?

Yes — corrosion-under-insulation surveys using IR, profile radiography where applicable, and targeted insulation removal for confirmation. Output is prioritized risk mapping.

Will you work in classified hazardous areas?

Yes — with appropriately rated equipment and trained personnel. Class I Div 2 capable for most light industrial; higher classifications scope-dependent.

Do you do compressed-air leak surveys?

Yes — typically the highest-payback engagement for industrial clients. We can identify and tag every leak across a facility in a single survey campaign.

Can you coordinate with our integrity engineer?

Yes — many of our industrial scopes are coordinated with the operator's integrity-management team or third-party engineering firm. We supply field data; they make the engineering calls.

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.

Are there areas where you don't work?

Within Greater Vancouver: no. We deliver to every postal code in the Metro Vancouver Regional District and the surrounding municipalities within our service area.

Do you adjust your approach for sea-level / dyke-protected areas?

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.
