Find micro-leaks in copper, PEX and galvanized lines before they fail.
Pinhole failures in copper and galvanized supply lines are the silent destroyers of older Vancouver and Burnaby homes. They drip continuously, often for months, before the damage becomes visible. We trace them using a combination of high-sensitivity acoustic listening, ultrasonic equipment and inline pressure-decay testing. If you've found a damp spot, a recurring stain or a hot-water bill that's climbed for no clear reason, pinhole tracing is the right starting point. The work produces a documented location and condition assessment, not a guess about which fitting might be at fault.
Leak Expert is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.

We diagnose the leak; the repipe decision depends on the age and material of the rest of the system. We will give you the data to make the call with your plumber.
