Strata & Building Investigations

Strata leaks are political as well as technical. Council, owners, property managers and insurers all need an answer they can act on, and the work has to happen without displacing residents unnecessarily. Our strata investigations combine non-invasive methods, careful resident coordination, and reporting that addresses the practical questions: where is the leak, whose responsibility is it, what comes next. We've done this across hundreds of strata buildings in Greater Vancouver.

Why BC Water Leaks for strata & building investigations

BC Water Leaks is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.

We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.

Pairs well with

Clients booking strata & building investigations often combine it with Residential Leak Detection or Commercial Leak Services — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.

How to prepare for your visit

1. Document what you're seeing. Photos, dates, sounds, water-bill changes, anything unusual. The more we know in advance, the faster we can locate.
2. Clear access to the suspected area. Move furniture, stored items, and rugs. Non-invasive methods still need clear sightlines.
3. Have system history ready. Recent plumbing work, prior leaks, renovations, age of property, prior insurance claims.
4. Confirm the email for your report. Photo-linked report delivered within 48 hours (often same-day for residential).
