604-239-9934Same-day response in RichmondA slab leak is any leak in the supply or drain piping running beneath a concrete floor. They show up as warm patches, unexplained water bills, damp baseboards or worse — and traditional plumbing methods can't see them. We combine surface thermal imaging, ground-level acoustic sensors and (where useful) tracer gas to mark the location of the failure on the slab surface, so the repair team can saw-cut a tile rather than the entire room. Greater Vancouver's mix of older slab-on-grade construction and newer concrete tower podiums means slab work is some of the most common detection we do.
Slab leaks on grade-level construction over peat soils, irrigation losses on agricultural and large-lot residential, supply failures in poly-B-era homes.
Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how slab leak location is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
