Happy Holidays!

13-Dec 2010, CDNLEAK-Toronto:  On behalf of the entire staff, we would like to wish all our clients and affiliates a safe and happy holiday!  After finding over 1500 leaks this year in the GTA alone, we were able to help several Ontario municipalities and condo corporations resume their water activities and save on their water bills as well as hundreds of homeowners.

In Canada, the winter season can bring many unwanted problems.  The last thing you want is a destructive leak problem in the home during the holidays.  In the past, our non-destructive leak detection methods have saved many holiday dinners and get-togethers at people’s homes and even at several different restaurants.   Make sure to give us a call before you go tearing down walls and putting the Christmas tree away.  We might be able to help pinpoint your leak before you cancel your holiday plans.
