Water Leak Detection & Repair
Service in the Lower Mainland
Water damage is one of the most common and costly problems a home or business can face, and it rarely announces itself before it becomes a real problem. A pipe hidden behind a wall or under a slab can leak for weeks before anyone notices, quietly causing rot, mould, and damage that’s far more expensive to fix than the leak itself would have been. At Murrayville Plumbing & Heating Ltd., our licensed plumbers use professional-grade detection equipment to find leaks quickly and repair them with as little disruption to your property as possible.
We provide water leak detection and repair for residential, commercial, and strata properties throughout Langley and the Fraser Valley. Whether you’ve noticed a damp patch on the ceiling or your water bill has climbed for no obvious reason, we’ll track down the source and get it fixed properly.
WATER LEAK DETECTION
Finding a leak without tearing into walls or flooring takes the right tools and the training to use them well. Our technicians rely on acoustic listening equipment to pick up the sound of pressurized water escaping a pipe, along with thermal imaging that traces the temperature differences leaking water leaves behind. Combined with pressure testing and camera inspection, these methods let us pinpoint a leak’s location with a high degree of accuracy before any work begins.
This matters because the alternative, guessing and opening up walls or digging up the yard to search, causes damage that often goes well beyond what the leak itself would have caused. Our non-invasive approach means we can usually confirm the source of a leak and explain your repair options before a single cut is made.
Water Leak Repair Services
Once we’ve located the problem, our plumbers repair leaks of all kinds. We handle:
- Burst and frozen pipes
- Slab leaks under concrete foundations
- Hidden leaks behind walls or under flooring
- Underground water line leaks
- Leaking fixtures, valves, and connections
- Main water line repairs and replacements
Repairs are completed with attention to your home or business, not just the leak itself. We aim to keep any necessary access points as small as possible and restore the area to a workable condition once the repair is finished.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Many leaks go unnoticed for a long time because the signs are easy to miss or explain away. It’s worth calling us if you notice any of the following:
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s better to have us take a look sooner rather than later. A small leak caught early is a straightforward repair. Left alone, it can lead to structural damage, mould growth, and a much larger bill down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Watch for an unexplained rise in your water bill, damp or discoloured patches on walls or ceilings, a musty smell, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when nothing is turned on. Any of these can point to a leak that isn’t yet visible.
Not usually. Our detection methods are designed to locate a leak with minimal disruption to your property. In most cases, we can identify the source before any demolition is needed.
Common causes include ageing or corroded pipes, frozen pipes that crack as ice expands, high water pressure, shifting soil around underground lines, and worn seals or fittings at joints and fixtures.
More than most people expect. Even a minor leak left unaddressed can lead to mould growth, rotted wood, damaged drywall, and weakened structural components over time. Costs tend to escalate the longer a leak goes undetected.
Yes. Our team handles underground water line leaks, main water line repairs, and full line replacements for properties of any size, from single-family homes to strata buildings.
We do. Our team provides 24-hour emergency plumbing service for active leaks, burst pipes, and other urgent issues, so you’re not left waiting while water damage gets worse.
