Why leak detection should come first — before drying equipment arrives.
Drying without removing the water source is treating the symptom, not the cause.
| Factor | Leak.ca | Water Damage Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Source identification | Find active leak — stop water at origin | Assume leak has stopped; focus on drying |
| When to call | First — before any drying or repair | After leak is confirmed stopped |
| Cost impact | One call finds source; targeted repair | May dry for days with active leak |
| Documentation | Detection report supports full claim | Dry logs, not the cause |
