Unit-to-Unit Leak Tracing

Strata leaks frequently involve water moving from one unit to another, and the question of which unit is responsible is both technical and political. Our unit-to-unit tracing uses thermal, acoustic and tracer methods to determine the path of water and identify the failing component — without demolition unless absolutely necessary. Reports are structured to support strata council, property manager and insurer decision-making about responsibility allocation.

Why Strata Leak Detection for unit-to-unit leak tracing

Strata Leak Detection 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 unit-to-unit leak tracing often combine it with Common-Element Investigations or Strata Insurance Support — 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).
