Thermal imaging, moisture mapping, acoustic methods, and flood testing as warranted — units and common property investigated without opening finishes on a guess.

Campbell River questions, answered
What does Campbell River's building stock mean for strata leak files?
Resource-industry waterfront, mid-century neighbourhoods, and rural acreages north toward the inlets. Each era brought its own leak patterns — piping materials, deck assemblies, envelope details — and a Campbell River strata file starts with that context: knowing what a building of its vintage tends to do is half the diagnostic head start.
Does Campbell River ground matter for strata common-property leaks?
For buried common property — site services, irrigation, parkade perimeter drainage — yes: coarse glacial outwash and beach terraces ground shapes where escaping water travels and whether it ever surfaces. Coarse gravels scan deep with some cobble clutter; industrial waterfront fill zones need tighter interpretation. That's factored into how we investigate below-grade strata losses here.
What does strata leak detection cost in Campbell River?
Province-wide pricing — no regional premium for Campbell River or anywhere in the Vancouver Island. 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.
Water is appearing in a lower unit. How do you find which unit it's from?
By tracing the path, not guessing from geometry. Water travels along slabs, pipes, and assemblies before it shows — the unit below a stain is a suspect, not a conclusion. We investigate the plumbing stacks, fixture zones, and assemblies above with thermal, moisture mapping, and controlled testing until the source pins. The written determination is specific: this unit, this fixture or assembly, this failure.
Who pays for the investigation — the strata or the owner?
That's a council decision shaped by the Strata Property Act, the strata's bylaws, and where the source lands (common property vs in-unit). What we contribute: a clean source determination that makes the cost conversation factual instead of political. Many councils commission the investigation as common expense, then allocate per the findings and their bylaws.
