Drain & Waste Line Testing in Burnaby

Drain and waste leaks don't always show up as a dripping pipe — they show up as recurring stains, persistent musty odours, or water damage that doesn't track to a supply line. Our smoke and tracer-gas testing pressurizes the drain system with a harmless visible or chemical indicator that escapes through any failure point and can be located precisely on the surface. We do this for residential drain stacks, commercial waste systems, and below-grade lateral failures throughout Greater Vancouver. The deliverable is a single point of failure, not a list of possible causes.

What leak surveys 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 drain & waste line testing 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.
