I called Chris because we noticed water damage on our house during escrow that no one could figure out. I spent hours with a moisture meter and mapped everything out, hired my traditional plumber, and a flooring contractor. We couldn't figure it out. I called Chris and paid the "emergency" surcharge to get him out the next day. He came and did a bunch of testing and helped us figure out that there was no leak and the damage was probably from the pull out freezer and from moisture trapped under rugs. Phew. I know that sounds simple but trust me it was super complicated to get to that conclusion! read more

We called for moisture in two bedrooms that we found in the flooring. Chris came out and determined it wasn't a leak but was super helpful and explained all the possible sources of water and next steps. He also accommodated us with a same day visit. He greatly eased my anxiety and was full of resources. read more

Aculine responded quickly. Found the leak in my main line coming from the meter. Bypassed the old line with a new copper line. Got the job done in two days. He stuck to his quote. He even provided a temporary bypass line to the house so I was never out of water. read more

I had a bad slab leak at the house and Chris was able to come promptly and find the leak under the slab using some special equipment. He pinpointed the start and end of the line and then we scheduled his crew to come and re-route it. The re-route had to run through cabinet and some tight turns and his team was able to do a great job! Had me back and running in no time . Highly recommend Chris for your home leak issues ! read more

Chris was very responsive and had a plan immediately before he left that he shared with me. His team is professional and clean

They answered the phone and scheduled a propane gas leak detection the next day. Professional and on time . Thank you for your service; very knowledgeable and prepared to help. read more

I booked an appointment online to have a water leak diagnosed. The business owner sent me an estimate then sent a text to approve. He then proceeded to a note that if I don't approve he won't show-up. He then proceeded to cancel my appointment without giving me the opportunity to even download the estimate. In my opinion, his approach was very rude and reflected very poor customer service. I don't recommend Acculine Leak Detection at all. read more

Acculine Leak Detection did an excellent job isolating and repairing the water leak we had under our concrete slab. The 2-man crew was very friendly and competent. They kept the concrete dust down to minimum and cleaned up well at the end of the day. The owner, Chris, was attentive throughout the entire process and very accommodating. I would recommend Acculine Leak Detection without hesitation. read more

Acculine Leak Detection - Marked the spot of the leak - Plumbing Near Me

I reached out to Chris as he was recommended by another company for a water leak under my addition. He was very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the problem that was causing the issues. He also will comeback after repair is done to inspect to make sure all is good !! I definitely recommend him Thanks again Chris !! read more

Overall they were quick to respond to our request and gave us fair and accurate pricing. We also had an incident a few months later where we accidentally Zelle their business $800, and Chris quickly followed up and returned the money to us. This shows a lot Chris and Acculine, as it is hard to find a trustworthy and honest contractor, who offers excellent and quality work. Thanks so much! read more

Had a major water leak for several months from the City water meter and pipes running into my home, contacted Chris at Acculine to detect it. Chris informed me he & his crew can also make the necessary repair(s). Josh & Ricky with Acculine worked for two rainy days and completed this to my satisfaction, in addition, I requested Copper pipes & gaskets for a more longer lasting & stronger maintenance. Josh gave me great tips and showed me how everything worked. I was provided with a PDF Invoice so I can plead my issue with the SD Public Utilities regarding my high water bill(s). I did take photos of the repair(s) to keep & send as an attachment, (for privacy issues I choose not to attach any of the photos.) My front landscape didn't suffer and my hardscape remained untouched. I highly recommend their estimate & service for both quality and value! read more

Someone from Acculine wrote me a not nice message after I put up this review, so knocking it down to one star (had given two because they were the first to respond). I had only written my personal experience. read more

Chris was awesome. We weren't able to pinpoint the actual leak on day one because there's so much noise in the waterlines. Chris came out the next day after the plumber opened up the wall and was able to quickly find the leak. He was on time and very professional. I really appreciate all that Chris did for us. read more

Chris was amazing and very responsive to helping out. We had gone with Chris on two separate detections and he's been nothing but accommodating and helpful. Very knowledge and very accurate with finding the sources of a leak, what caused it, and potential solutions that will help out the plumbers. Would definitely recommend him going forward read more

They didn't just take the recommendations from the other leak detection company, but did their own investigation and found a different source of the water flow. If we would've just followed the first recommendation, it would've cost us more time and money to fix the problem! read more

These guys were great! I had already isolated the leak but they came and secured it for me on a Friday afternoon when the worker was leaving to catch a flight. Their work helped me settle a dispute with the city which was trying to charge me over $2k for the leak. I really appreciate them and would definitely use them again!!! Thank you Acculine Leak Detection!! read more

We were notified by our water company that we might have a leak due to an increase in water usage. Chris came out and was able to map out our pipes and identify where the slab leak was. He took the time to explain the different options along with the benefits/cons and cost associated with each. We decided to repipe our hot water and when it came time for the work to be done, he and his staff were very communicative. There is an obvious teamwork culture across his team. Overall, they were quick to respond, efficient with quality results. We hope to never have a water leak in the future, but if we do, we will definitely use Acculine again. read more

Called on a Sunday and even though they were closed Chris got back to us with in an hour and we had an appointment the next day. We had used another leak detection company who spent 2 full days looking for the leak and told us a pebble must have closed the leak. The water came back. Chris found the leaks within 30 minutes and showed us where the leaks were in both showers from a remodel job we had 12 years ago. We thought we had one but we have two leaks that have spread under the house. We decided he was also the right person for the job of replacing all our pipes to copper as the insurance are now requiring and living in the 92131 we have been dropped twice because of the fires. I just want to be done and I think we see the light read more

We had a sudden slab leak in our house with water soaking our living room carpet. Looking at his excellent Yelp reviews, I contacted Chris at 8am the next morning and he made sure he was at our house within a few hours to assess the situation. He determined where the leak was, capped off the problem pipes, making sure I had water in the rest of my house, and came back the next day to repair and replace the damaged plumbing. Two days later, there was another unrelated and unexpected issue with a kitchen sink, and Chris came back to my house again at 7pm on a Friday night to once again save the day!!! He returned the following day to hook up our washer and drier and toilet, as we had had new flooring put in. He was so very very kind and accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend this company read more

Chris and his team came out and found our issue quickly. Great service! I highly recommend.

I noticed a big wet l spot on My concrete driveway. I called Acculine leak Detectors for a quote. I had a time crunch, I was going away for two weeks In about five days. Chris from Acculine came over that day. He was able to locate my leak. When he drilled open the concrete, he realized my pipe was deteriorating. This turned into a much bigger problem. He had to jackhammer the entire width of my driveway and put in all new pipe. He worked long hard hours every day to get this job finished by my deadline. The whole time he kept me apprised of every step. He and his crew worked so hard. Chris would stay after they left and worked several more hours. I was completely pleased by the results. He was more than fair on his price. I would highly recommend Chris and Acculine. read more

This company is top notch like his name on the spot accurate for the leak versus the other leak detection companies so we don't have to dig up everywhere like goofers !!!! Chris is the man super knowledgeable and friendly also available every day plus his prices extremely reasonable don't shop around and call Chris !!!! read more

This company is great! Chris answered his phone on a Sunday (when they're CLOSED) and said he'd be here first thing Monday. He gave me a flat fee of $275 to find my kitchen island stove gas leak under my slab after SDG&E turned off my gas to the whole house. He arrived on time and mapped out the whole gas line really fast and gave recommendations for how to fix it that doesn't involve breaking through my kitchen tile floor. He'd have fixed it too, but we'd already gotten a plumber on board, so he happily spoke on the phone to my plumber to give relevant details. He nailed the lines and the plumber could go right to work. My impression is that after having used 3 plumbers as well as CPL for a different gas leak earlier this year, his company (Acculine) beat them all hands down for both knowledge, cost, and speed. (CPL is VERY pricy.) Chris also seems like just a really nice honest guy who didn't try to upsell me in any way. DEFINITELY recommend. read more

Acculine Leak Detection - Plumbing Near Me

Woke up one morning to find a large pooling of water in our lower field. I was able to locate the the water main leak to the edge of the asphalt driveway, but lost it from there. Not wanting to tear up the whole driveway, I started looking for leak detection companies in my area. The first I called, never returned my call, the second had a 4 day wait, then I found Acculine. I called and had a call back within about 20 minutes, and was able to schedule later in the day. The owner, Chris, gave me a written estimate, and contacted me when he was enroute. He arrived promptly, and punctual on the time we agreed. He explained the leak detection procedure, and had the leak located within about 15 minutes. He even allowed me to listen to the area where the leak was detected. The next day I dug out the area where he had located, and the water main and leak were in that exact location, saving me from having to tear out the driveway on an exploratory expedition. He was well worth what he charges, His charges were also in line with other leak detection companies. Unfortunately these days, it's sometimes hard to find service companies with honesty and integrity. I was lucky to find Acculine with such fine qualities. I highly recommend Acculine, and love supporting Small Businesses. #supportyourlocalbusiness read more

The owner of this business is amazing. Went above and beyond what was expected. Helped find the leak and closed off a couple pipes to help me out. Great company. Great workers. Great independent business owner. Great pricing too. read more

First, there is no need to look any further for leak detection companies and plumbing companies in the San Diego area. Chris is top notch. I am happy to say that this one time that the reviews did not lie and because I was in a dire situation, I am glad they didn't. Last week, my daughter in law (DIL) called me from Lakeside CA in a panic to let me know that her closet floor was all wet. Her husband is in the US Navy and was deployed. After explaining to her how to turn off the water to the house, I immediately drove the 150 miles to her house to see what I could do. Upon seeing the water, I thought immediately it was a pipe under the slab that had a leak. I reached out to Chris at Acculine Leak Detection, on a Sunday night. He offered to come out that night, but I told him it could wait until the morning. He gave me a price for leak detection and even suggested a hotel that his clients often stay at. I appreciated that. He confirmed an appointment between 8 am and 10 am. As one previous person commented, Chris sent me a contract via email for $375 to approve, before he would come over and detect the leak. First, this is the same price he gave over the phone and secondly, this seemed standard to me, so I had no problem agreeing to it. I am sure the person who commented on this doesn't work for free either. Detecting leaks is an art, and Chris is great at it. Chris arrived and immediately went to work. He found the leak in about 20 minutes time. What I appreciated is that he explained the entire process to me, how he used his hearing equipment to determine where the leak was and how he attached electrical current (low voltage) to the outer hose bib to map the pipes out. He came up with a plan to abandon the bad pipe and reroute the supply into the attic. Once he went over the plan and the cost, my DIL, agreed to the price. We put a deposit down. Please know if you live in California, home improvement projects are limited to $1000 or 10% of the project cost, which ever is less. The deposit we put down was in line with the rule and Chris did not ask for anything more. This just gave me more proof that this was a plumber with ethics. Since every project is different, I am not going to disclose what we agreed to pay. I also did not have the luxury of going and getting estimates, as we needed the water back on with two small children in the house. Let me say that Chris provided me with enough knowledge to trust that he was the right plumber for the job and his price seemed fair. Chris said he would come back on Wednesday to complete the work as he already had another job lined up on Tuesday. Mind you this was Monday. This man is busy and yet he was able to get us in on Wednesday. We agreed. On Wednesday Chris and his apprentice showed up. He again started with mapping out the pipes. I could see his mind was working as he said I think I can save you even more money. He came up with an alternate plan. Who does this? He didn't have too, the price was agreed upon, but he did it, again showing how ethical he was. He and his apprentice went to work, they worked the entire day, rerouting the pipe and getting the water turned back on again. They were respectful of the house and cleaned up their work area. The work was high quality. Chris leak checked the system and even adjusted the PSI for us. When you talk to Chris it is easy to see that he is knowledgeable, personable and is all about customer service. More importantly he proved he is a man of ethics, of morals and of values. He holds himself to a high standard. I have worked with dozens of contractors in the past. I had never met a contractor more honest, reliable, and hard working than Chris. So, as I started this review, I will end this review in the same way, just call Chris, you will be relieved and happy you did. I know I am. Thanks Chris. read more

I spent a week looking for a leak after the water district notified me in Escondido. Chris Desarno showed up and found the leak in five minutes by listening to the exposed irrigation line feeding the backyard and pool. He did not need to break out his high tech detector. Chris has obviously refined his leak finding technique over many years. My water bill is now back to normal and I am happy. read more

Our water bill doubled during the most recent billing cycle and suspected a water leak. Called a couple of plumbing and leak detection companies with great Yelp reviews and all provided me with competitive estimates. Selected Acculine Leak Detection and Chris came by for the detection and gave me the option to replace the leaking pipe. Chris and his plumbing crew took care of the issue for only one day. So far no issues after a few days. Because of quality workmanship and reasonable cost, I highly recommend Chris for all leak detection and plumbing needs. read more

I have had water issues due to slab leaks and bad plumbing in my building for years. The building managment was not responsive in helping identify the cause of the leak. I reached today as it was my official move out day. Chris was able to come out, assess both areas of concern and provide me the proof I need to show my insurance. They did a much more thorough assessment than the vendors the building sends. So appreciate quality work and the effort to go above and beyond. I had an ETA and the information I needed. Thank you! Highly recommend to anyone dealing with difficult HOAs or property managers. Its always worth getting an independent inspection. read more
