Pinhole Leak Tracing in Burnaby

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.

What leak assessment typically finds in Burnaby

Aging poly-B and galvanized supply in mid-century homes, slab leaks in newer concrete towers, irrigation losses on large hillside lots.

Burnaby's built environment — concrete high-rises around Metrotown/Brentwood, 1960s–80s single-family residential, light-industrial in Big Bend — shapes how pinhole leak tracing is delivered locally. Burnaby's split personality — rapidly densifying tower districts in Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed alongside long-established residential pockets — means leak detection here ranges from 50-storey concrete inspections to mid-century bungalow plumbing.
