Why Leak.ca

Slab Leak leak detection done right

Three methods combined

Thermal imaging finds the temperature differential. GPR maps the in-slab plumbing. Acoustic confirms the pressurized leak. Combined accuracy within inches.

Small patch repair

We locate the leak within inches — your repair crew opens a 200-300mm patch, not half the slab.

Non-invasive

No drilling, no coring, no damage to your slab. All detection is done from the surface.

Insurance-ready reports

Reports include thermal imagery, GPR scans, acoustic data, and moisture maps — accepted by every major BC insurer.

When to call us

Signs you need a professional

Don't wait until minor issues become major losses.

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.

Pre-sale or pre-purchase

Selling a home with a slab leak history? Or buying one? A professional slab scan gives everyone confidence.

FAQ

Common questions

See all FAQs
Will leak detection damage my property?
No. We use non-invasive technology like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and ground-penetrating radar. No drilling, cutting, or demolition required in most cases.
Does insurance cover leak detection?
Many policies cover detection costs when water damage is present. We provide detailed reports for your insurance claim documentation.
How quickly can you respond?
Same-day response is often available for urgent situations. Regular appointments are typically scheduled within 24–48 hours.
What if you don't find a leak?
You receive a comprehensive report confirming no active leaks were detected. This documentation is valuable for insurance, property sales, or peace of mind.
How do you find a slab leak without breaking concrete?
We use three non-invasive methods: thermal imaging detects temperature differentials from hot water, GPR maps the in-slab plumbing layout, and acoustic correlation confirms the leak sound. Combined, they locate the leak within inches.
