Will leak detection damage my property?
No. We use non-invasive technology like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and ground-penetrating radar. No drilling, cutting, or demolition required in most cases.
Does insurance cover leak detection?
Many policies cover detection costs when water damage is present. We provide detailed reports for your insurance claim documentation.
How quickly can you respond?
Same-day response is often available for urgent situations. Regular appointments are typically scheduled within 24–48 hours.
What if you don't find a leak?
You receive a comprehensive report confirming no active leaks were detected. This documentation is valuable for insurance, property sales, or peace of mind.
Do you respond to RFPs and RFQs?
Yes. We respond to public-sector procurement requests at all levels — municipal, regional, provincial, federal, and Indigenous. We can also accept direct awards under standard provincial thresholds.
Are you insured for public-sector work?
Yes. We carry $5M commercial general liability, WorkSafeBC coverage, and all required bonding for public-sector contracts.
Do you offer permanent monitoring systems?
Yes. We install and maintain permanent acoustic leak monitoring systems (such as Zonescan) for water utilities and large facilities requiring continuous loss detection.
