Industrial Leak Detection in British Columbia
Specialized leak detection for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and process piping systems throughout BC.
Professional Industrial Leak Detection Across BC
Our industrial leak detection capabilities include pressurised pipe and vessel testing, underground process line locating, large-area roof and building envelope surveys, and steam trap and compressed air system auditing. We deploy technologies suited to industrial environments: explosion-proof acoustic detectors for hazardous locations, high-temperature thermal imaging for process equipment and steam systems, long-range correlation for extended pipe runs, and GPR for mapping buried utilities through concrete and asphalt. Our technicians are trained in industrial safety protocols, including WHMIS, confined space awareness, and site-specific safety orientations, allowing us to work alongside your maintenance team with minimal disruption to operations.
Industrial leak detection is not just about water damage prevention — it is about operational efficiency. A single compressed air leak can waste thousands of dollars in energy costs annually. A steam system leak reduces boiler efficiency and increases fuel consumption. A process water leak can contaminate product streams or cause unplanned downtime. Our industrial leak surveys quantify not just the location of leaks but also their economic impact, providing a clear ROI for repairs. We serve industrial clients throughout BC, from the Lower Mainland industrial parks to interior processing facilities to northern resource operations. Our reports include detailed technical findings, economic impact analysis, and prioritized repair recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you detect leaks in process piping without shutting down production?
In many cases, yes. Acoustic leak detection can be performed on operating systems as long as background noise levels are manageable. Thermal imaging can identify steam and hot fluid leaks during normal operation. For critical systems, we coordinate with your maintenance team to schedule testing during planned outages or low-production periods.
What types of industrial facilities do you serve?
We serve a wide range of industrial facilities including food and beverage processing plants, pulp and paper mills, sawmills and wood product manufacturers, chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, mining and mineral processing operations, manufacturing and assembly plants, warehouses and distribution centres, and power generation facilities.
Do you offer leak detection for compressed air systems?
Yes. Compressed air leak detection is one of our most requested industrial services. We use ultrasonic acoustic detectors that are specifically tuned to the high-frequency sound of air escaping from leaks, which is often inaudible to the human ear. A thorough compressed air audit can identify leaks that waste 20-30% of compressor output.
Can you work in hazardous locations?
Yes. We have access to intrinsically safe and explosion-proof detection equipment certified for use in hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts may be present. All technicians working in hazardous locations have appropriate safety training and certification for the specific site conditions.
