Condo Leak Detection Services

Advanced leak detection technology for condominiums and multi-unit residential properties throughout British Columbia.

Specialized Condo Leak Detection

Condo leak detection requires specialized expertise due to the complexity of multi-unit buildings. Water intrusion in condominiums can affect multiple units, involve shared infrastructure, and create significant liability issues. Our advanced detection methods identify leak sources accurately without unnecessary demolition or invasive testing.

Our Condo Leak Detection Services

Thermal Imaging Leak Detection

Non-invasive infrared technology identifies temperature differentials caused by moisture intrusion behind walls, ceilings, and floors.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Advanced listening devices detect the sound of water movement within plumbing systems, helping pinpoint leak locations in pipes and risers.

Moisture Meter Analysis

Precision moisture detection equipment measures water content in building materials to map leak patterns and extent of water damage.

Building Envelope Testing

Systematic testing of exterior walls, windows, and balcony assemblies to identify water intrusion points in the building envelope.

Common Condo Leak Sources

Condominiums experience unique leak challenges due to their vertical construction, shared plumbing systems, and exterior exposure. Our extensive experience with BC condo buildings enables rapid identification of the most common leak sources:

Balcony membrane failures allowing water into units below
Window perimeter seal failures from aging or installation defects
Vertical plumbing riser leaks affecting multiple floors
Shared wall moisture migration between units
Parkade slab leaks seeping into storage areas
Roof drainage issues impacting penthouse units
Exterior cladding failures in rain screen systems
Bathroom and kitchen plumbing leaks
HVAC condensate drain failures
Fire sprinkler system leaks
Building envelope penetrations
Underground parking seepage

Why Accurate Leak Detection Matters

In condo buildings, inaccurate leak diagnosis can lead to expensive repairs of the wrong systems, ongoing water damage, mold growth, and disputes between unit owners and strata corporations. Our precise leak detection methods prevent these issues by identifying the exact source before remediation begins.

Insurance claims require professional documentation of leak sources and causes. Our comprehensive reports include thermal imaging, moisture mapping, photographic evidence, and technical analysis suitable for insurance adjusters and legal proceedings.

British Columbia's wet climate accelerates building envelope deterioration and creates ideal conditions for hidden leaks. Our team understands the specific vulnerabilities of BC condo construction from different eras, from 1980s rain screen failures to modern high-rise complexities.

Emergency & Scheduled Services

We provide both emergency response for active leaks causing immediate damage and scheduled assessments for proactive building maintenance. Our team is equipped to respond rapidly to urgent situations while providing thorough, methodical investigations for non-emergency leak detection.
