Pinhole Leak Tracing in New Westminster

Pinhole failures in copper and galvanized supply lines are the silent destroyers of older Vancouver and Burnaby homes. They drip continuously, often for months, before the damage becomes visible. We trace them using a combination of high-sensitivity acoustic listening, ultrasonic equipment and inline pressure-decay testing. If you've found a damp spot, a recurring stain or a hot-water bill that's climbed for no clear reason, pinhole tracing is the right starting point. The work produces a documented location and condition assessment, not a guess about which fitting might be at fault.

What hidden leak typically finds in New Westminster

Pre-war copper pinholes in Queens Park heritage homes, slab leaks in older river-edge towers.

New Westminster's built environment — heritage Queens Park homes, ageing concrete towers along the river, Sapperton's mix of healthcare and residential, modern Quayside mid-rises — shapes how pinhole leak tracing is delivered locally. BC's oldest city has a deep stock of heritage homes (Queens Park, the West End) alongside ageing river-edge concrete towers and modern mid-rise Quayside developments. Heritage plumbing realities and ageing tower envelope failures dominate the workload.
