GPR leak detection in Port Moody
Leak.ca has been serving Port Moody municipalities and public agencies since 1999. Our certified technicians use advanced non-invasive technology — thermal imaging, acoustic correlation, ground-penetrating radar, and tracer gas — to locate hidden water and process leaks without unnecessary damage to your property. Mix of waterfront, heritage, and new high-rise development.

Common gpr leak issues in Port Moody
- BC One Call doesn't cover private property — Public utility locates stop at the property line. Anything inside the lot — drains, irrigation, electrical, gas, lawn lighting, septic — is your responsibility. GPR fills that gap.
- Hitting a buried utility = $$$ + injury — Striking a live electrical conduit, a gas line, or a fibre run can mean injury, six-figure repairs, and project shutdown. A 30-minute GPR scan averts most of it.
- Coring into rebar = structural compromise — Coring through structural rebar weakens the slab. A 1.6 GHz GPR scan maps every bar before the drill bit touches the surface.
- Coring into a post-tension cable = catastrophic — Cutting a PT cable in a post-tensioned slab releases tens of thousands of pounds of force instantly. Engineer-required scans are mandatory before any penetration.
Why Port Moody property managers choose Leak.ca
- Multi-frequency antennas — From 1.6 GHz (high-resolution surface scans of rebar at 5 cm) to 200 MHz (subsurface mapping past 5 metres). Right antenna for the job — not one frequency forced on every project.
- Non-destructive — zero damage — GPR sees through concrete, soil, asphalt, and most surfaces without coring, cutting, or digging. The cleanest possible diagnostic.
- Real-time + CAD-ready deliverables — We mark targets on the surface for your crew on the spot, then deliver CAD-importable maps for engineering and as-built records.
- Combined with EM locator — GPR finds what EM can't (plastic pipes, voids, rebar, tanks) — EM finds what GPR can't (live energised lines). We run both, on every utility-locate job.
- Cross-trained with acoustic + thermal — GPR is one of five technologies in our diagnostic toolkit. We deploy whichever fits the problem — or all three together for complex jobs.
- WorkSafe BC compliant — Proper damage prevention practice for excavation. Our reports support your duty-of-care obligations and reduce hit-utility liability.
- Engineering-grade documentation — Reports are accepted by structural engineers, civil engineers, environmental consultants, and BC's largest insurers. PDF + DWG/DXF deliverables.
- 25+ years across BC — Operating across British Columbia since 1999 — from single-residence slab scans to multi-hectare municipal utility maps.
