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. Sewer Scans 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.
Yes — CCTV camera inspection through any accessible cleanout, manhole or roof vent. Push-cam handles laterals; crawler robots handle larger mains. Locating where the line goes is also non-invasive.
100 mm up to 1500 mm with the right equipment. Below 100 mm we use specialty mini-cameras. Above 1500 mm requires walk-through inspection.
Exfiltration is sewage leaving the pipe; infiltration is groundwater entering. Dye testing and tracer gas confirm exfiltration; smoke testing and flow monitoring identify infiltration sources.
No. CCTV cameras are non-contact. Sewer lining preparation may require root-cutting which is mechanical and standard practice — we coordinate that with rehabilitation contractors.
Available on request. Standard delivery is narrative + photo evidence; PACP coding is added for clients whose engineering or municipal workflow requires it.
Digital video records are retained for one year and delivered to clients on USB or via cloud transfer. Longer retention available on contract.
Yes — sonde-equipped push cameras locate themselves on the surface at any point in the line. Useful for finding cleanouts buried under landscaping or pavement.
Yes — locating the tap point in the road allowance is a routine deliverable. Important for connection permits and pre-rehabilitation scoping.
