Port Moody questions, answered
Where do Port Moody homes typically leak?
Heritage Moody Centre homes, breweries and light industrial in converted buildings, and new towers at Suter Brook and Klahanie. 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 Port Moody?
Inlet-edge fill is variable and can hide debris layers; the till slopes above scan cleanly. We grid fill zones tighter to separate utilities from rubble. Practically: a Port Moody 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 Port Moody?
Province-wide pricing — no regional premium for Port Moody or anywhere in the Metro Vancouver. 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.
