I had a great experience from start to finish. Scheduling was easy, friendly, and efficient. They were able to get me on the schedule the very same day, which I really appreciated. The technician arrived on time, was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain the condition of the sewer line at a commercial building I had just purchased. As a business owner with a busy schedule, I really value companies that are organized, efficient, and respectful of my time--and they exceeded my expectations. Overall, the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this company, and they've definitely earned a 5-star review from me! read more

We called Leak Hounds to schedule someone to come to my mother's house to look for a potential leak, as her water bills seemed much higher than they should have been. We first talked to Monica, who schedules the appointments. She was terrific. She first gave us some great suggestions for us to try on our own to see if we could resolve the issue to our satisfaction without a visit from them. We still ended up requiring a visit. The two gentlemen who came were great. The lead one, Cory, called us 15 minutes before they arrived, well within the time originally told to us. They were fast and thorough, and Cory explained everything that they did and what their conclusions were, and gave us a good education on how to identify leaks on our own. We highly recommend them. read more

I've used this group before when it was Elite Leak Detection and they were nothing short of amazing. So when I needed them again and they had changed name I was reticent to call because while change can be good , lately, in many cases it has been worse for the consumer. The thing that set them apart from the rest of the top plumbers was that they were absolutely focused on finding ways to get to and repair the leak that were as minimally invasive and minimally destructive to your home as possible. I'm delighted to say that this still appears to be one of their "Prime Directives". Tell them you cosmetic concerns and they will work with you to find alternatives. read more

I highly recommend Leak Hounds. We had a leak in the foundation of our house. After turning the water off we contacted Leak Hounds who were referred to us from a neghbor. Cory and his crew came over the next day and found the exact location of the problem. On Cory's recommendation we agreed to have them reroute both the hot and cold water out of the foundation and through the walls. The work was completed in just one day. The crew did an amazing job of protecting everything and finding the best solution of how to run the pipes My wife and I could not have been more satisfied. read more

We had this company come to detect a leak for us. They said it was one problem (the toilet's wax ring needed to be replaced). The leak continued, but luckily we had construction done on the same bathroom and they found that the actual problem was a broken pipe. We contacted them about it since the work that was done didn't fix the problem (sent pictures of the broken pipe) and they said there was nothing they could do because the broken pipe was a "secondary problem" regardless of the fact that the problem still persisted after they said they "fixed" the problem the first time. There was no accountability for their error. Won't be using them again UPDATE: if you actually look at the reviews I have posted you can see I have written good ones, okay ones, as well as bad ones. You state that you want to be professional but that comment about past ratings was not. If I feel a company deserves a bad review I'll write it so that I can notify people about my bad experience so that they can make an educated decision. As I told you over the phone we were not shown the impacts of the toilet flushing, which was probably our fault for taking the workers at their word. We know nothing about plumbing, so we hope that the people we are working with are honest with us. Our contractors that we hired had nothing to gain about telling us that you led us astray, which your initial diagnosis, which is why we're going with what they said. If you don't want to take accountability that's ultimately up to you (not looking for a refund because you won't do that, just to be held accountable). At the end of the day you lost a customer and we will tell everyone we know not to use you as well read more

I needed a definitive answer as to weather I had a water leak under my slab. Leak Hounds ran an air pressure test of one of my sprinkler lines, and of all the water supply lines in my entire house. No leaks were found, so it is safe to say the water is coming from the outside world. My home sits 12" below street level, so I rely on a sump pump to remove rainwater so my house will not flood. After the heavy rains in January, even with the sump pump, water managed to creep in and get to the slab. I will have sealant applied around the entire perimeter of the house, which should prevent any further water intrusion. Thank You Leak Hounds, you have given me the peace of mind and the answer I needed! read more

I had a leak in the main water line at my home and contacted a few companies for help. I ultimately chose Leak Hounds, and I'm very glad I did. Jai and his team were fantastic--honest, professional, and straightforward from the start. They provided a very reasonable and accurate quote, located the leak quickly, and completed the repair efficiently. It's not often you come across a team this reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommend Leak Hounds for anyone dealing with plumbing issues! read more

The Customer Service from Leak Hounds is the BEST! After I called to schedule a visit for Leak Hounds to come by to detect a leak in my kitchen, I got a call back from Brent the owner. He had me describe to him all the the exact issues over the phone. He suggested we focus in on one specific area to try to identify the leak on our own in order to avoid his normal site visit costs. In fact - based on his direction - we found the leak and there was NO CHARGE. You really cannot beat that! This is the kind of business I greatly respect and recommend most highly. read more

Simply the BEST! I had a un diagnosed slab leak that I was getting the run around with 3 different Plumbers. I found Elite here on Yelp and so happy I did. They came in diagnosed the problem, repaired it with minimal damage, and finished the job from beginning to end, including fixing the drywall that had to be opened up in my walls and ceiling. Brent, Monica, Jai, and Jai's helper were amazing! I Highly recommend them to any other company in the South bay. read more

We had a visible leak under our concrete driveway. My husband had a few plumbing company's scheduled to do "leak detection" and repair. Boy did they try and rip us off. Cory, " Leak Specialist " was honest, informative and timely. He detected the exact spot of the leak, repaired and replaced concrete and brick. We appreciate your professionalism. We are recommending Elite Leak Detection, to our friends and family read more

We had a wonderful experience with Elite Leak Detection. We noticed a sudden increase of our water usage since July this year. The usage amounted to on the average of 30 ccf per month while our normal usage would not be more than 6 or 7 ccf. Adding to that puzzle was the usage was continuously high even when we were gone for most part of September with the main valve being shut off during our absence. As we were not able to identify the source of the leak ourselves, we turned to Elite Leak Detection to find out what happened. Monica was very helpful to schedule Cory over the next morning. Cory did a very thorough job in checking the leak and, at that time, he could not identify the souce of the leak, but he instructed us to take a reading after we turn the main valve off at night and took another reading before we turned the the water on the next day morning. What amazed us was there was a 1ccf water consumption overnight even with main valve being shut off. We reported this finding to Elite Leak Detection immediately. Brent came the next day morning. After further investigation, he found that the irrigation valves were still fed while the water to the home is turned off overnight. The sprinkler control appeared to be malfunctioning and one sprinkler head was broken. Brent unplugged the control and told us to check the meter reading after the main valve was turned off at night and before the water main valve was to turn on the next day morning. We were so pleased to find that the the two readings were near identical and we repeated the practice next day and found the same result. The mystry of water leak was finally resolved. Had Elite Leak Detection not being so responsible in investigating the the leak, it could be a long time before we identify the root cause of the problem. To sum it up: We had a great experience with Elite Leak Detection! Their thorough and methodical approach clearly made a big difference in resolving the issue. It's impressive how they stayed persistent in finding the root cause of the leak, especially with the complexity of the irrigation system still feeding water even when the main valve was shut off. Their professionalism and attention to detail, from Monica's quick scheduling to Cory and Brent's investigative efforts, clearly stood out. It's wonderful that the issue was resolved and we were able to avoid ongoing water waste. If you have similar challenges, my only recommendation is to contact Elite Leak Detection immediately, you will be rest assured that the problem will be solved. read more

Very responsible and respectful staff. I called after hours and Brent was able to schedule me the next morning. Brent, Cory, and Jai were phenomenal in figuring out the source of the leak and repairing it with as minimal damage to our walls and flooring. They were clean and courteous and would definitely recommend them. read more

Leak Hounds were excellent! I had an under water leak going to my kitchen and they found and did a beautiful repair. Jai was excellent. Best plumbing service I have ever had. Leak was under my slate walkway, Jai carefully removed some of the slate tiles, repaired to Leak, reconcreted and reset the slate beautifully. Just beautiful. Would highly recommend. I live in PVE.​ read more

Great company only thing I want to say is make sure the plumber your hiring doesn't already have the camera to look in the pipe for the leak. That's what happened to me and unnecessary expense because I had a broken pipe and located the leak with this company, fast forward to hired a plumber who did exactly what I just paid over $300 to locate. read more

They did a great job, I couldn't say enough good things about them. They were on time, kept me updated. Cory did the leak discovery and Damian came out to do the repair read more

Highly recommend this company for help in finding a leak and all your plumbing needs. From our very first phone call to every interaction since they have been completely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. We had them come out within hours of our call and found the leak in our pipe. We ended up having them repipe for us and we are so glad we used them! Prices are very reasonable. The work is excellent! Call these guys first you won't regret it read more

Posted on behalf of my relatives that had work done through this company: "Professional , thorough work. Frank was patient and listened to my concerns. He was respectful, worked hard and cleaned up. Owner Brent was happy to field questions. His answers we clear and helpful. They stand by their work making their prices very fair." read more

We had a very small leak that resulted in wet carpet in the living room, even though the water meter wasn't showing any water use. Our plumber wasn't able to help us because the leak was so small. We looked on Yelp for a leak detection company and called Elite Leak Detection. Brent offered very clear information on the process and cost to find the leak and was able to send out two people to our home a couple hours later. He was confident that his team would locate the problem. Frank and Cory arrived soon after and went to work with their equipment. They found the location of the pinhole leak in a pipe inside our wall. We were very impressed that they were able to find the problem so quickly. We are very happy with how quickly we were able to get an appointment and how quickly Frank and Cory were able to find the problem and fix it, and all in the same day! read more

Outstanding Service. From start to finish, our experience with Elite Leak Detection was positive. They were prompt, pleasant and professional. After contacting Monica in the main office, she scheduled Cory and Jerod to come to our house the next morning. They reviewed our latest utility bill which showed our water usage had doubled for the month of October. When their investigation showed no leak in or under the house, they proceeded to check our sprinkler/drip irrigation system and discovered a broken tube which was covered with mulch. Without any reservation, we would highly recommend Elite Leak Detection. read more

I called Elite Leak Detection because we had a leak in our main water line but could not see any visible water and needed a service that could find the leak. Their leak detection expert Jai came out and found the leak in our front yard after doing his tests. He then gave me a quote to repair the leak and the owner Brent came out in about 90 minutes and did the repair . He left our landscaping looking like nothing had been changed(see photos below) then helped with a clogged bathroom faucet before leaving. I highly recommend this company. Very professional and were great at finding and fixing our problem. read more

Leak Hounds - Identification of leak that Elite Leak Detection identified by blowing air into the water line. - Plumbing Near Me - Torrance, California

Called them for an inside the wall leak in a 3 or 4 inch vertical pipe in my redondo beach rental. I was out of town, he quoted over $900 this was plumbing repair and $275 to analyze the problem. No drywall repairs included. I had the same repair done about a year later in a different property on the next block, this time I was present and a different plumber charged $250 for analysis and repair. Graham did discover a secondary leak and charged an additional fee for that repair, but that is outside of the scope performed by the second plumber. My tenants said Graham was clean and pleasant to deal with. read more

We moved into a house mid-September and are now owners of our first pool. Our pool maintenance man noted to me that he thought the water was evaporating rather quickly from the pool and I needed to keep the water at a certain level. On several occasions, I filled the pool up and within 48 hours, it lost 2-3 INCHES of water!!! That wasn't just regular evaporation! I reached out to Brent with Elite, while at the same time speaking with a pool installation contractor. Ultimately it turned out that there was definitely a leak. Brent and Jai with Elite came out to give the pool a thorough checking. Like, on their stomachs, gear back and forth, thorough checking. Eventually, they found a small hole that was tucked behind a filter piece that was guzzling water into the ground. They patched it up and saved me from digging up my entire yard looking for busted pipes! Absolutely saving their info for future use. Thanks, Elite! read more

Called Elite Leak detection after hearing water running in my house with no obvious cause.. They found the leak in my pipes under the house slab and determined how to fix the problem. I found Brent at Elite very honest and forthcoming with details about my plumbing problem. No fishy explanations that made a person feel they were being taken for a ride. I really appreciated that Elite seemed very honest and reliable. I would absolutely recommend them to a friend. read more

I called around for leak detection estimates and initially went elsewhere because Elite's quote was a bit higher. Well guess who I came back to when the problem wasn't found by the others? I should have started here in the first place. Cory was professional, fast, and explained the problem patiently. The leak was repaired the same day. Highly recommend. read more

We had a leak that was not in the walls. They came out, used their equipment found the leak, and implemented a good solution which did not involve demoing my kitchen. They were supremely professional, courteous and respectful. Minimized any wall damage to a large extent. They even repaired a prior-leak repair done by another plumber and fixed it properly. I would definitely hire these guys again for difficult leaks. Why not 5 stars? They are expensive. The inspection fee began at $350/hour, then $225 after the first hour. They don't bargain. They don't take credit cards (or they'll charge you their 3% merch transaction fee). They also never sent me their licensing and bonding information after repeated requests. They don't provide written quotes or any paperwork to start the job. Only after you've paid will they provide such paper. This is dancing along the line of many laws in CA and they need to correct this before they run into unfortunate legal entanglements or licensing suspensions for malcompliance. But they did good work for me and work that was better than prior plumbers which I've hired. They also didn't seem like they were BS-ing me on the issues. read more

Best decision I have ever made. I gave them a call and made it to my home that afternoon. I had a main water line leak. They used their equipment to find the leak and it was spot on. I felt bad because I wasn't aware and the actual water line was almost 5.5-6ft down. It was sure a hassle for them. They got the job done and made sure there wasn't a leak before leaving. read more

We had a mystery leak in our front yard landscaping between the curb and the house. Much of the plumbing would be under the driveway and sidewalks, etc so the location of the actual leak was difficult to detect. I had called several plumbing companies to get an estimate and got some pretty wild numbers ranging from several thousand up to $12K. Finally I decided to call Elite Leak Detection, and Frank came out and located the leak within 20 minutes which fortunately was near the house intake pipe. Frank was able to fix it immediately for what I consider a fair price, and I'm happy and relieved it's done. Good job! If something like this happens again, I wouldn't waste time and just call Elite first thing. read more

The best plumbing experience I ever had. Everything went extremely smoothly, from the time we called and all the the way till the problem was fixed. They are upfront with pricing, very professional and not pushy at all. No extra "problems" were found :) read more

Brent was a pleasure to work with. Staff on site were helpful in explaining what they were doing and took the time needed to isolate the leak in our pool. Brent also steered me to a helpful, responsive supplier from which to buy parts for a temporary fix. I wholeheartedly recommend Elite. read more

Elite Leak is great, they showed up on time with two knowledgeable leak detectionists who quickly diagnosed and repaired the leak we had under our house. Monica kept us up to date on when they would show up, none of that "we'll be there between 10am and 4pm" nonsense. read more

Although I didn't end up working with Elite Leak Detection (only because I was out of the territory that they service) I am blown away by the level of customer service I just experienced over the phone. Unfortunately, I don't remember the gentleman's name who answered my phone call, but he offered to pretty much coach me through the service while working with another company or answer any questions I had - FREE OF CHARGE. Rare to find this kind of service these days. Very impressed, very thankful. read more
