Gibsons questions, answered
Where do Gibsons homes typically leak?
Harbour-village core with tightly packed older services, view-bench subdivisions, and rural acreage to the north. For detached homes that history reads as a suspect list: service lines and original supply piping in the older stock, poly-B-era materials where the 80s–90s built heavily, irrigation and fixture wear in newer areas. We start from your home's era and symptoms, not a generic checklist.
Why don't yard leaks show on the surface in Gibsons?
Bench sands and till image well; steep harbour-side lanes concentrate services into narrow, shallow corridors that reward careful gridding. Practically: a Gibsons service line can lose thousands of litres a day with the lawn above looking normal — the meter test catches what the grass hides, which is why it's always our (free) first step.
What does single-family home leak detection cost in Gibsons?
Province-wide pricing — no regional premium for Gibsons or anywhere in the Sunshine Coast. Single investigations start in the low-to-mid hundreds; larger properties and multi-system files are quoted by scope. The free phone consult (604-239-9934) produces a firm number in about five minutes. Mon–Sat, 8am–6pm PT.
How do you find a leak inside a wall without cutting it open?
Physics before saws: thermal imaging reads the temperature signature wet materials produce, moisture meters map the boundary of wetness, and acoustic equipment hears pressurised escape. Cross-referencing those signals locates the source within centimetres — then one small, correct opening replaces the exploratory demolition that ruins renovations.
My water bill doubled but I see nothing. Where do leaks hide in a house?
In order of likelihood for BC detached homes: the buried service line between meter and house, running indoor fixtures, irrigation systems, under-slab piping, and concealed supply lines. The five-minute meter test plus the main-valve split (free; test.leak.ca walks you through both) usually halves the search before we even arrive.
