Leak Detection & Pipe Repair in Vancouver & Burnaby

Hidden Leaks Can Cost You Thousands

A hidden water leak in your Vancouver or Burnaby home can waste thousands of litres of water, damage your property's structure, promote mold growth, and dramatically increase your water bill. HYDROPRO PLUMBING & WATER LTD uses advanced detection equipment to find leaks quickly and accurately — without unnecessary demolition — and provides lasting repairs.

Signs of a Hidden Water Leak

• Unexplained increase in water bill — the most common first sign of a hidden leak
• Sound of running water when no fixtures are in use
• Wet or warm spots on floors, walls, or ceilings
• Mold or mildew in unusual locations, especially on interior walls
• Musty odours that persist despite cleaning
• Cracking or bubbling in paint, wallpaper, or flooring
• Low water pressure that's developed gradually
• Your water meter runs when all fixtures are turned off

Our Detection Methods

Video Camera Inspection

High-definition waterproof cameras are fed through your pipes, providing live video of the pipe interior. This pinpoints the exact location and nature of leaks, cracks, root intrusion, and other damage without any excavation. Camera inspection is our first step in diagnosing most leak situations.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Specialized listening equipment amplifies the sound of water escaping from pressurized pipes, even through concrete slabs and soil. This method is especially effective for locating water main leaks and underground supply lines.

Thermal Imaging

Infrared cameras detect temperature differences in walls, floors, and ceilings caused by leaking water. Hot water leaks, in particular, create distinct thermal signatures that reveal their location without opening walls.

Leak Repair Solutions

Once located, we repair leaks using the least invasive method appropriate for the situation:

• Pipe patch or clamp repair — for small, accessible leaks
• Section replacement — removing the damaged section and splicing in new pipe
• Epoxy pipe lining — internal coating that seals small cracks and pinholes without excavation
• Full pipe replacement — using trenchless technology when extensive damage is found
