Drain & Waste Line Testing in Bowen Island

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.
