Leaks We Detect
Comprehensive leak detection services for all types of water intrusion problems.
At Leak-Inspection.ca, we specialize in detecting all types of leaks in residential, commercial, and government properties. Our advanced technology and experienced technicians can identify even the most challenging leak sources.
Foundation Leaks
Foundation leaks can cause serious structural damage if left unaddressed. We use specialized equipment to detect water intrusion through foundation walls, cracks, and joints.
Common Signs of Foundation Leaks
- Water pooling around the foundation or in the basement
- Damp or wet basement walls
- Visible cracks in foundation walls
- Musty odors in the basement or crawl space
- Mold or mildew growth on basement walls
Our Detection Methods
We use a combination of techniques to detect foundation leaks:
- Thermal imaging to identify temperature differences caused by moisture
- Moisture mapping to track water intrusion patterns
- Visual inspection of foundation walls and floor joints
- Pressure testing of drain tiles and weeping systems
Roof and Window Leaks
Roof and window leaks are common sources of water damage in buildings. Our non-invasive detection methods can pinpoint the exact entry points of water through roofs, skylights, and windows.
Common Signs of Roof and Window Leaks
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Peeling paint or wallpaper
- Damp spots around window frames
- Mold growth on window sills or ceiling corners
- Water dripping during or after rain
Our Detection Methods
We use specialized techniques to detect roof and window leaks:
- Thermal imaging to track water paths inside walls and ceilings
- Moisture mapping to identify affected areas
- Water testing to simulate rain conditions
- Visual inspection of flashing, seals, and window installations
Balcony and Deck Leaks
Balcony and deck leaks are particularly common in multi-unit buildings and can cause damage to the units below. Our detection methods can identify failures in waterproofing membranes and drainage systems.
Common Signs of Balcony and Deck Leaks
- Water stains on ceilings below balconies or decks
- Deteriorating balcony or deck surfaces
- Efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on concrete surfaces
- Rust stains from corroding reinforcement
- Pooling water due to improper drainage
Our Detection Methods
We use specialized techniques to detect balcony and deck leaks:
- Flood testing to identify breaches in waterproofing membranes
- Thermal imaging to track water paths
- Moisture mapping of the ceiling below the balcony or deck
- Visual inspection of drainage systems and door thresholds
Wall and Siding Penetration
Water can penetrate through walls and siding due to improper flashing, deteriorated caulking, or damage to the building envelope. Our detection methods can identify these entry points before significant damage occurs.
Common Signs of Wall and Siding Leaks
- Water stains on interior walls
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Warped or rotting siding
- Mold growth on interior or exterior walls
- Deteriorated caulking around penetrations
Our Detection Methods
We use specialized techniques to detect wall and siding leaks:
- Thermal imaging to identify moisture within wall assemblies
- Moisture mapping to track water intrusion patterns
- Water testing of suspect areas
- Visual inspection of flashing, caulking, and penetrations
HVAC-Related Leaks
HVAC systems can cause water damage due to condensation, drain line clogs, or equipment failures. Our detection methods can identify these issues before they cause significant damage.
Common Signs of HVAC-Related Leaks
- Water stains on ceilings or walls near HVAC equipment
- Excessive condensation on ducts or vents
- Mold growth around air vents or HVAC components
- Water pooling around indoor or outdoor HVAC units
- Musty odors when the system is running
Our Detection Methods
We use specialized techniques to detect HVAC-related leaks:
- Thermal imaging to identify condensation and water intrusion
- Moisture mapping around HVAC components
- Visual inspection of drain lines, condensate pans, and ductwork
- Testing of condensate pumps and drainage systems
Plumbing and Hidden Pipe Leaks
Plumbing leaks can occur in supply lines, drain pipes, fixtures, and connections. Our detection methods can locate these leaks without causing damage to your property.
Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks
- Unexplained increases in water bills
- The sound of running water when no fixtures are in use
- Damp or wet spots on floors, walls, or ceilings
- Warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks)
- Reduced water pressure
Our Detection Methods
We use specialized techniques to detect plumbing leaks:
- Acoustic leak detection to listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes
- Thermal imaging to identify temperature differences caused by leaking pipes
- Pressure testing to identify leaks in supply lines
- Video inspection of drain lines to identify cracks and breaks
