Vancouver's dense concentration of high-rise condominiums and aging building stock makes professional leak detection essential. CondoLeak.ca serves downtown Vancouver, the West End, Yaletown, Coal Harbour, False Creek, Mount Pleasant, and all Vancouver neighborhoods with specialized condo and strata leak investigation services.
Vancouver's Unique Leak Detection Challenges
Vancouver's coastal climate brings heavy rainfall exposure, particularly during fall and winter months. Combined with an aging building envelope crisis affecting buildings constructed in the 1980s and 1990s, Vancouver condominiums face ongoing water intrusion challenges requiring expert investigation.
High-Rise Density
Vancouver's concentration of towers presents vertical plumbing complexity and wind-driven rain challenges unique to high-rise living.
Building Envelope Issues
Many Vancouver buildings from the leaky condo era continue experiencing envelope failures requiring ongoing investigation and repair.
Heavy Rainfall Exposure
Vancouver receives over 1,150mm of annual rainfall, with October through March seeing the heaviest precipitation testing building systems.
Coastal Wind Conditions
Wind-driven rain affects high-rise buildings along the waterfront, pushing moisture through vulnerable building envelope penetrations.
