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. Thermal Drone Leak Detection 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.
Late afternoon into early evening, on a day with good solar gain. Dry insulation cools faster than wet insulation, producing the thermal contrast we need. Cloud cover and wind affect results.
Yes — the technique reverses (cold sky overhead means wet zones radiate differently), and clear-weather winter conditions can actually be excellent for thermal.
We walk roofs that are safe and warranty-friendly. For very steep, fragile or warranty-restricted roofs, we use drone-based IR with appropriate flight planning.
Yes — that's exactly what ELD is for. Low-voltage vector mapping requires standing water; high-voltage spark testing requires dry membrane. Different roof systems use different methods.
Yes — we provide witnessed flood-test supervision for waterproofing acceptance on plaza decks, balconies and tank slabs. Time-stamped photo evidence + acceptance report delivered.
Most major commercial roof warranties accept third-party IR assessments. We coordinate with your manufacturer's technical team where helpful.
Residential single-roof: typically a few hundred dollars. Commercial: scales with size and complexity. We quote after a brief description of the building and roof type.
You receive a clean baseline report — valuable for capital planning, due diligence, and warranty file. Many clients schedule annual scans to track condition over time.
