Using dye to trace the water flow...and in this case it was a disproven method, and they began to pull out probes, listening devices, etc.
Stan H.

Frustration resolved after calling Sherlock Leak Detection. Ron and Amit figured it out after going through their arsenal of tools. So glad to have made this call to get some peace of mind because the water company was not helpful. You can review the images and videos below. In all, this was a tricky leak so took about 1 hr to locate as they methodically went through there process.

Ask the Community - Sherlock Leak Detection

Hello, I live in Northridge and noticed that our pool is loosing water rapidly. Is this something you could do?

Sorry, we do not do Pool Leak Detection at the moment, only plumbing inspections in the house. Ron

My crawl space has excess moisture throughout. Are you able to identify leak sources in that area in general?

Hi Jennifer, we can identify leaks that are cause by a plumbing leak in the house or irrigation. If the source of moisture is not a plumbing leak, it can be other reasons such as high moisture of soil or lack of ventilation. Hope this helps, Ron

Do you do Gas Leak inspection and repair for outdoor gas lines?

We only inspect water leaks. Thank you

Are you guys able to detect the source of a leak without opening up the ceiling. We have a water stain, but don't know where the source is?

Typically we can use thermal imaging to trace moisture in walls and ceilings. If there is an active leak, the ceiling will have to be opened in order to repair the leak.

I have a client in Los Angeles who has a leak coming into his kitchen only when it rains. Is that something you specialize in - determining the exact spot water is traveling from?

No sorry, we specialize in plumbing leaks, such as slab leaks and burst pipes. Ron

Do you do leak detection for pools?

Yes, but because pools sometimes require multiple visits we only inspect pools in the San Fernando valley area.

What experience do you have with locating the source of a sewer gas leak?

Sorry, we do not inspect sewer lines, only fresh water leaks

What tools do you use to get an accurate location of the leak?

We have many special tools including pipe locators, acoustic/ electric sound devices, thermal imaging Etc Ron

Do you use also use thermal imaging?

Sure, thermal imaging is part of our standard inspection. Ron

This group is unique where they're great communicators, effective problem solvers, task oriented, and genuinely nice people. I had them add clean out valves to a tankless and they were flawless throughout the process. Jake made sure all the right parts were used and lined up a great technician who did a great job on the install. They troubleshoot and are effective. The technician, Jimmy, stuck around and mentioned when he turned on the water he heard what he recognized as high water pressure in the pipes and to check the water pressure regulator on the unit. The condo shared this and we found out this is in fact an issue the HOA was having with the entire building. They have someone replacing it now but the fact that after the job was done Jimmy mentioned what he felt wasn't right, was awesome. You'd be surprised how many plumbers get in, do the thing, and bounce. Or try and upsell you on stuff, they seemed to be in it to make sure it's right. I truly appreciate that. Strangely enough, shortly after, I had another plumbing emergency and Jake was on it. They're scheduled to fix the issue first thing tomorrow and Jake gave me a great price. Can't ask for better. Will be calling them again.

Something something Overflow brass, mentioned ABS standard piping inside ceiling new (relief!) then stated there was Galvanized cast iron (?) At the end all I know is they told me they did some things they didn't charge for, tenant was happy (even giving me a hug bye and wished me a safe drive) and I left the premises by midnight with just enough energy to stop for some LA street tacos after. Whole job done in less than 3 hours ! Given I called at 9pm and they were done by 12am with some time in between waiting for tenants to allow entry, no doubt will be calling them in the future !! Super patient, professional, and speedy! Kathy(?) dispatcher was so sweet, helpful, and made it super easy breezy as this was my first time contacting a plumber CALL (800) 816-0887 ! For 911 plumbing services!

I had both my bathrooms changed from the old 3 knob shower to a more modern single knob shower thingy, plus updating the waste disposal piping/internals. Although the base quotes and labor was cheap, I did ask for some custom stuff which cost extra, and I think they put quite a big markup on them. For example, I wanted brushed nickel finish on my shower fixtures and drains and it cost $360. I looked at Home Depot and it was much less than that for that kind of stuff. Other than that, the technicians were friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. The thing that stands out the most about them was their dedication and their customer service. I was having my shower valves and waste disposal replaced but also wanted to reglaze my tub. Long story short, something happened with that reglazing company that might've flooded my downstairs neighbor and Greg hopped on a call with me late at night and talked me through how to check if everything was ok. This took 40 minutes, and thankfully nothing leaked out of my waste disposal. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the services provided and will be calling them for any future plumbing issues.

The team was very communicative, arrived on time, and their pricing was extremely competitive. This visit included replacing two hot water heaters and the main water pressure valve for my home. Their main plumber on site, Gio, handled the work and was outstanding -- very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He thoroughly explained the entire process, made sure I understood what was being done, and made me feel confident that everything was completed correctly. He also left the work area spotless when the job was finished, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Right Price Rooter & Plumbing. Don't hesitate to give them a call.

Updating my original review years later because we ended up needing Mick again today for another…read moreplumbing issue at one of our family properties. We had a sewer backup issue affecting the back unit/ADU while also dealing with separate toilet issues in the front house. Mick responded quickly, diagnosed both problems efficiently, and got everything resolved the same day. The front house issue turned out to be worn toilet flappers from normal wear and tear. The back unit issue was a main line grease buildup/clog that required drain clearing and camera inspection work. Mick also took the time to explain the likely long-term slope/drainage concern with the ADU connection in a very straightforward and practical way. One thing I still appreciate after all these years is that Mick communicates like an operator, not a salesman. He explains what is urgent, what is manageable, and what may become a future capital repair issue without trying to create panic or pressure. Fast response, direct communication, practical diagnostics, and strong long-term knowledge of older LA plumbing systems and rental properties. Still highly recommend Mick and Right Price Rooter & Plumbing.
