Leak Detection Services in Kamloops
Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground — found without tearing your home apart. Non-invasive technology, precise results, same-day repairs available.
The Problem With Hidden Leaks
A visible leak is actually the easy kind. You see it, you call a plumber, it gets fixed. The dangerous leaks are the ones you can't see — quietly running inside walls, under concrete slabs, or in underground supply lines. They can go undetected for months, wasting thousands of litres of water and slowly destroying the structure around them.
The region's hard water accelerates pipe corrosion, making hidden leaks more common here than in softer-water areas. Older homes in established neighborhoods like Brocklehurst and the North Shore are particularly susceptible — aging galvanized and copper lines develop pinhole leaks that are nearly impossible to find without the right equipment.
The old approach was to cut holes in walls until you found the wet spot. We don't do that. We use technology that locates leaks precisely before anything is opened up — saving you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary damage to your home.
Our Detection Technology
Acoustic Listening
Sensitive microphones detect the sound of water escaping pressurized pipes — even through concrete
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras reveal temperature differences caused by moisture behind walls and under floors
Moisture Meters
Measure humidity levels in drywall, wood, and concrete to trace the path of a leak
Tracer Gas
Safe hydrogen-nitrogen gas injected into pipes rises through soil and concrete to pinpoint underground leaks
Electronic Pipe Locators
Map underground pipe routes without excavation to identify leak zones
Pressure Testing
Isolate pipe sections to confirm leaks and measure severity before any repair work begins
Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak
None of these are definitive proof on their own — but if you're seeing two or three of them together, it's worth getting a professional assessment before the damage compounds.
Water Bill Creeping Up
Usage hasn't changed but the bill keeps climbing — classic hidden leak indicator
Stains on Walls or Ceilings
Yellow or brown patches that grow slowly over weeks
Running Water Sounds
You can hear water moving when every tap and appliance is off
Mold or Musty Smell
Persistent mold in unusual spots, or a damp smell that won't go away
Pressure Dropping Gradually
Not a sudden drop — a slow decline over weeks or months
New Cracks in Walls or Floors
Soil shifting from water saturation can cause structural movement
A hidden leak can waste up to 10,000 litres per month — enough to fill a small swimming pool. If you're seeing any of these signs, call us at (778) 928-7586 before the damage gets worse.
This kind of damage develops over weeks from a leak that could have been found in an hour
Slab Leaks — The Most Serious Kind
A slab leak is a pipe failure beneath your home's concrete foundation. They're harder to detect, more expensive to ignore, and can cause foundation damage if left unaddressed. The good news: with the right equipment, we can find them without jackhammering your floor.
Warm or damp spots on your floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, sudden spikes in your water bill, and cracks appearing near the base of walls are all potential slab leak indicators. If you're seeing any of these, don't wait.
How We Find Slab Leaks
Pressure test
We isolate individual lines and pressurize them to confirm which pipe is leaking.
Acoustic detection
Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping through the concrete.
Thermal scan
Infrared imaging identifies temperature changes on the floor surface above the leak.
Pinpoint location
We mark the exact spot — typically within 30 cm accuracy — before any concrete is touched.
Repair options
We present your choices: targeted slab access, pipe rerouting, or epoxy lining — with honest pricing for each.
