23 questions, three sections: about us, our specialty, and where we work. If yours isn't here, phone or email us — both reach a real person.
No. We use non-invasive technology — thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, tracer gas and ground-penetrating radar. No drilling, cutting or demolition required in the vast majority of cases.
Many BC home and commercial policies cover detection costs when water damage is present. We provide detailed, photo-linked reports specifically formatted for insurance claim documentation.
Same-day response for active leak emergencies across Greater Vancouver. Scheduled appointments typically available within 24 hours.
Yes — and equally. Our certified technicians work for residential, commercial and government / institutional clients throughout Greater Vancouver. Same equipment, same reporting, same standard.
You still receive a comprehensive report confirming no active leak was detected on the date of inspection. This documentation is valuable for insurance, property sales and ongoing monitoring.
Yes. LiDARs is a sub-division of Leak.ca. Every service is delivered by the same certified Leak.ca team, with the same equipment and reporting standards.
Call 604-239-9934 or email info@Leak.ca. We don't use online quote forms — every project is scoped over a real conversation.
Yes — technicians hold professional certifications relevant to their disciplines, including thermography, acoustic leak correlation, ground-penetrating radar and pipe inspection.
Yes. We issue compliant invoices, carry the required commercial liability insurance, and produce documentation suitable for public-sector procurement and audit.
No. Our methods are non-invasive and we work alongside occupants. For commercial properties we often work after-hours to minimize disruption.
Project-dependent. Standard delivery is registered LAS or LAZ point cloud plus a decimated working copy. We also export E57, RCP, and DXF cross-sections on request, plus extracted 2D plans or 3D BIM elements as scoped.
Modern terrestrial scanners deliver 1-3 mm accuracy at typical building-scale distances. Larger sites with multiple scan positions need control to maintain that accuracy across the dataset.
In-pipe LiDAR needs the line drained or partially drained. Flowing water deflects the laser. Sonar handles submerged conditions where LiDAR cannot.
300 mm is the practical floor for in-pipe LiDAR. Smaller pipes fit CCTV better. Above that, LiDAR adds quantitative geometry.
Yes — combined deliverables show subsurface utilities (from GPR) on top of surface 3D (from LiDAR) in a single referenced dataset. Engineering teams use this for retrofit and infrastructure planning.
Exterior of a commercial building: typically a day. Full facility interior plus exterior: 2-5 days depending on size and access. Specialist scans (pipe, vessel interior) vary widely.
Yes — repeat scans at known intervals, processed for change-detection, quantify movement to sub-millimetre. Useful for geotechnical and structural monitoring.
Yes — point clouds import natively to Revit, AutoCAD, MicroStation and other BIM/CAD tools. Extracted geometry is delivered in your preferred format.
Every community in Metro Vancouver: Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Langley, Delta, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, White Rock, Tsawwassen, Anmore, Belcarra, Bowen Island, and Lions Bay. Each community has its own dedicated information page on this site.
Our service area is Greater Vancouver. For work elsewhere in BC, please contact our parent company at Leak.ca, which operates regional teams beyond Metro Vancouver.
Same-day mobilization with ferry-schedule coordination. We carry equipment that fits on standard vehicles, and most Bowen Island jobs complete within a single sailing window.
Within Greater Vancouver: no. We deliver to every postal code in the Metro Vancouver Regional District and the surrounding municipalities within our service area.
Yes — delta-soil construction in Richmond, Delta, and Pitt Meadows has its own moisture, slab, and drainage patterns we routinely investigate. The same applies for hillside areas like North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Anmore.
Phone and email are the only ways to reach us — both go to a real person.
