604-239-9934Same-day response in VancouverA slab leak is any leak in the supply or drain piping running beneath a concrete floor. They show up as warm patches, unexplained water bills, damp baseboards or worse — and traditional plumbing methods can't see them. We combine surface thermal imaging, ground-level acoustic sensors and (where useful) tracer gas to mark the location of the failure on the slab surface, so the repair team can saw-cut a tile rather than the entire room. Greater Vancouver's mix of older slab-on-grade construction and newer concrete tower podiums means slab work is some of the most common detection we do.
Pre-war copper pinholes in older eastside and westside homes, slab leaks in downtown towers, balcony and parkade envelope failures.
Vancouver's built environment — high-rise concrete towers, wood-frame walk-ups, character single-family homes and pre-war duplexes — shapes how slab leak location is delivered locally. Vancouver mixes 1910s heritage homes with 60-storey concrete towers, so leak investigations vary enormously between properties. Heritage neighbourhoods like Kitsilano and Strathcona tend to show old copper and galvanized failures; downtown and Yaletown towers more often have slab penetrations and envelope failures behind window-wall systems.
