Step Test Sectoring in Port Moody

When the question is "which zone of the network is losing water," step testing is the right answer. By systematically closing valves and watching flow at a central meter, we isolate the zone containing active leakage, then progressively narrow to specific main segments before deploying acoustic methods on the suspect section. This is the workhorse method behind utility-scale leak reduction programs, and it scales from a small commercial property's loop to a municipal district metered area.

What acoustic leak detection typically finds in Port Moody

Common-line leaks in dense Inlet Centre buildings, distribution mains on hillside.

Port Moody's built environment — newer Klahanie and Suter Brook towers, hillside single-family, 1960s–70s residential — shapes how step test sectoring is delivered locally. Compact and hilly, Port Moody combines pre-1980 hillside single-family with the dense modern Suter Brook and Klahanie tower districts at Inlet Centre. Heavy rain plus steep terrain means seepage and drainage are recurring concerns.
