Metro Vancouver
(19 communities)Metro Vancouver is BC's largest metropolitan region, home to over 2.6 million residents across 21 municipalities. The region's coastal rainforest climate with annual rainfall exceeding 1,200 mm creates persistent moisture challenges for buildings of all ages. From century-old heritage homes in Vancouver's West End to modern glass towers in Burnaby's Metrotown area, our technicians have extensive experience with the diverse building stock found throughout the Lower Mainland.
Vancouver
675,000 • Metro Vancouver
Vancouver's mild, wet climate and aging housing stock create ideal conditions for hidden water leaks, particularly in the city's many wood-frame buildings and concrete high-rises. The leaky condo legacy means thousands of buildings from the 1980-2000 era require specialized envelope inspections. Vancouver's coastal rainforest climate with over 1,200 mm of annual rainfall creates persistent moisture challenges for buildings of all ages. The city's diverse housing stock ranges from century-old heritage homes in Kitsilano and Shaughnessy to modern glass towers in Yaletown and Coal Harbour. Common leak issues include roof failures from rain penetration, building envelope failures in older wood-frame structures, underground service line breaks from ground movement, and plumbing leaks in aging copper pipes common in pre-1980s construction.
Burnaby
257,000 • Metro Vancouver
Burnaby's mix of older single-family neighbourhoods and rapidly growing multi-family complexes presents diverse leak detection challenges. The city's hillside properties on Burnaby Mountain require special attention to drainage and retaining wall moisture issues. Burnaby's mix of post-war single-family homes, 1970s low-rise apartments, and new high-rise developments creates varied leak detection challenges across the city. Areas near Burnaby Mountain and the Deer Lake watershed have high water tables that contribute to foundation drainage issues. Strata properties are particularly prevalent in Burnaby, with many complexes built during the 1980s and 1990s now requiring building envelope assessments and leak investigations for depreciation reports.
Richmond
220,000 • Metro Vancouver
Built on a floodplain with a high water table, Richmond properties face unique challenges from groundwater pressure, foundation seepage, and building envelope moisture. The city's many concrete high-rises require specialized slab and envelope inspection expertise. Richmond's location on Lulu Island, sitting on a floodplain with a high water table just metres below the surface, creates unique leak detection challenges. Almost all buildings require perimeter drainage systems, and foundation leaks are common during periods of heavy rain when the water table rises. The city's extensive network of dikes and drainage pumps means underground infrastructure is subject to constant moisture and corrosive soil conditions.
Surrey
590,000 • Metro Vancouver
Surrey's rapid growth means a mix of new construction and aging properties, with leak challenges varying by neighbourhood. Clay soils in South Surrey can cause foundation movement and pipe stress, while older areas in Whalley and Newton have aging plumbing systems. Surrey is BC's fastest-growing city with a housing stock divided between established neighbourhoods in Cloverdale and South Surrey and rapidly developing areas in City Centre and Newton. The clay soil prevalent in much of Surrey contributes to foundation movement and underground pipe stress, particularly during the seasonal wet-dry cycles. Older neighbourhoods with cast iron and galvanized steel service lines are at higher risk for underground water main and service line leaks.
Coquitlam
150,000 • Metro Vancouver
Coquitlam's hillside terrain and aging townhouse complexes require specialized leak inspection approaches. The city's many wood-frame multi-family buildings from the 1990s building boom are prime candidates for envelope moisture assessments.

34,000 • Metro Vancouver
Port Moody's location on the Burrard Inlet with considerable rainfall and hillside properties makes it susceptible to drainage-related water intrusion and foundation moisture issues. The city's many newer condos require envelope verification.
New Westminster
75,000 • Metro Vancouver
New Westminster's historic housing stock — including many Heritage-designated homes — combined with steep hillside terrain creates unique water management challenges. Aging infrastructure in the Royal City means many properties have original plumbing systems needing assessment.
Delta
108,000 • Metro Vancouver
Delta's low-lying geography, agricultural areas, and residential neighbourhoods each present different leak scenarios. High water tables in North Delta and Tsawwassen affect foundation performance, while Ladner's older homes often have original drainage systems.
Langley
142,000 • Metro Vancouver
Langley's rapid suburban growth means many newer homes with modern plumbing, but the city also has established rural properties with wells and septic systems requiring specialized inspection. Clay soils in the area can cause foundation movement and pipe stress.
