What it is
GPR Slab Scanning is one of our core slab leak leak-detection services. Ground-penetrating radar maps in-slab plumbing, rebar, and post-tension cables for precision location. We deploy this for BC property owners with slab foundation leaks, using the same equipment trusted by major insurers and municipalities across British Columbia.
When you need it
- Warm spots on the floor — Hot water leaking under your slab creates warm patches on the floor surface — the #1 sign of a slab leak.
- High water bills — A slab leak can waste thousands of litres per day. Your water bill shows it before you see any damage.
- Musty smells from flooring — Moisture trapped between the slab and flooring creates mold and musty odours.
- Cracks in the slab or tile — Water washing out soil beneath the slab can cause settling, leading to cracked tiles or foundation movement.
- Insurance claims — Insurers need professional slab leak detection reports to approve water-damage claims and subrogation recovery.
How we do it
Our certified technicians arrive with state-of-the-art equipment: thermal imaging cameras, acoustic correlators, ground-penetrating radar, and tracer gas. Every job starts with a brief on-site assessment, followed by non-invasive testing to pinpoint the source — typically within inches.
You receive a detailed written report including findings, moisture maps, equipment used, and recommendations for next steps. Reports are formatted for insurance claims, strata councils, and engineering review as needed.
