What it is
Tracer Gas Surveys is one of our core industrial leak-detection services. Ultra-sensitive helium tracer gas for hard-to-find leaks. We deploy this for BC industrial facility managers and engineers, using the same equipment trusted by major insurers and municipalities across British Columbia.
When you need it
- Unexplained makeup-water consumption — Cooling systems and process loops shouldn't bleed make-up water. Hidden leaks add to chemical, energy, and water costs.
- Production-critical pipe failures — A single leak in the wrong place can shut down a line. We find them before failure.
- Compressed air losses — Industrial air systems can lose 30%+ to leaks. Ultrasonic detection finds and prioritizes them.
- Underground utility line leaks — Site-wide buried water and fire-loop leaks waste resources and threaten compliance.
- Insurance compliance — Many industrial insurers require periodic leak surveys as a coverage condition.
How we do it
Our certified technicians arrive with state-of-the-art equipment: thermal imaging cameras, acoustic correlators, ground-penetrating radar, and tracer gas. Every job starts with a brief on-site assessment, followed by non-invasive testing to pinpoint the source — typically within inches.
You receive a detailed written report including findings, moisture maps, equipment used, and recommendations for next steps. Reports are formatted for insurance claims, strata councils, and engineering review as needed.
