High-Rise Leak Detection: Vancouver Condo Solutions

The Unique Challenges of High-Rise Leak Detection

High-rise buildings in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond face unique leak detection challenges that require specialized expertise and equipment. From aging building envelopes to complex plumbing systems spanning dozens of floors, these structures demand advanced detection methods that can pinpoint leaks without causing disruption to residents.

Common High-Rise Leak Sources

Advanced Detection Methods for High-Rise Buildings

Our specialized high-rise leak detection services utilize cutting-edge technology designed specifically for multi-story buildings. These non-invasive methods allow us to identify leaks across multiple floors without disrupting residents or damaging property.

Thermal Imaging Surveys

Using advanced FLIR thermal cameras, we conduct comprehensive building envelope surveys that can detect temperature variations indicating moisture intrusion. This method is particularly effective for identifying leaks in curtain wall systems and around window installations common in Vancouver high-rises.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Our sensitive acoustic equipment can detect the sound of water movement within walls and plumbing systems, even in noisy urban environments. This technology is essential for locating leaks in vertical plumbing stacks that serve multiple floors.

Moisture Mapping

We use advanced moisture meters and hygrometers to create detailed moisture maps of affected areas, helping identify the source and extent of water intrusion in complex high-rise structures.
