Unit-to-Unit Leak Tracing in Richmond

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.

What strata leak detection typically finds in Richmond

Strata leak reporting for the very large stock of Richmond townhouse and low-rise concrete buildings.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how unit-to-unit leak tracing is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
