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 Monitoring 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 don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.
Clients booking pinhole leak tracing often combine it with Pressurized Line Detection or Slab Leak Location — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.
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.
Yes — that's why they're so destructive. The water travels along framing and shows up far from the source.
Yes. A whole-house acoustic and thermal sweep is a useful diagnostic when one pinhole has already been found.
