Locate Before Repair

Leak Location Before Repair

Every avoidable repair bill starts with a guess. Locating first turns repair from exploration into execution: the contractor opens where the leak is, not where the stain is.

Symptoms we're called for

  • A repair quote without a located source
  • Repeat repairs at different spots for one symptom
  • Damage appearing far from any plumbing
  • Water off, but the meter keeps moving

Property types

  • Domestic supply and drain lines
  • Hydronic heating loops
  • Buried services and mains

Methods used

  • Acoustic correlation on pressurized lines
  • Thermal and moisture scanning for hidden paths
  • Pressure isolation by section
  • Tracer gas and line tracing where needed

Limitations, stated plainly

  • The Leak.ca network locates and documents; repairs are performed by licensed contractors
  • Locating accuracy is stated honestly; some conditions limit precision

What you receive

  • The located source with evidence
  • A report the repair contractor can work from
  • Clear next steps and responsibility notes

Next steps

  • Brief the repair contractor with the report
  • Fix the located fault, not the symptom
  • Verify the repair with a pressure or moisture check
