I knew I had a leak in the house, but the first plumber I called was not able to locate and identify the source of the leak. I then called Sherlock and that turned out to be a great decision, because they not only quickly found the leak (under the house), but also resolved the problem! I was able to get a quick next day appointment with Sherlock, Ron came out and I'm telling you he found the leak in record time, a true specialist! He then clearly explained some options for resolving the problem and mentioned their company also fixes leak issues. I decided to hire them again to stop the leak and do some pipe rerouting work. The second appointment was also quickly scheduled, and this time Ron brought his partner Amit for the resolution work. Both Ron and Amit and very knowledgeable and professional, they both demonstrated strong problem solving skills and they work very well together...that in itself was a nice thing to see! Both Ron and Amit provide ideas for solutions that will have minimal damage and be cost effective, which made where to reroute the water line a less stressful decision for me. Like I mentioned above, a major advantage in going with Sherlock is they not only identify the leak source, but they also fix problem. They are skilled and equipped to deal with anything from start to finish, which is very efficient and ideal for the client. Overall my experience with Sherlock was totally great, they identified and solved my problem very professionally, and saved me from a lot of additional stress and cost. Based on my experience working with Ron and Amit, I highly recommend Sherlock for leak detection and resolution and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends. If you suspect or know you have a pipe leak, save your time and money and just call Sherlock and they will get it done for you! A BIG THANK YOU to Ron and Amit for the outstanding work and service they provided...very highly appreciated, thanks a lot guys!! read more

This company seems like it's run by two nice young guys and I'll give them credit, they found the leak. However, once they found the leak and I asked if they could dig out the spot (keep in mind this was a one foot by one foot area about 18 inches deep) so we could see the actual spot they wanted 2500 DOLLARS. I had the leak repaired in full by my gardener for $65. I can't seem to reply to the owners response below but the quote wasn't even to do the repair -- all I wanted was for the tech to dig a hole to see what we were even talking about -- pvc, copper etc. Your guy wanted 2500 to dig a small hole. That wasn't even the quote for the repair. It's insane read more

Amit was excellent. DWP bill through the roof for water. He came out and spent 1hr 30 minutes and CLEARLY and patiently explained everything. 5 stars all the way! read more

Super happy with my experience with Ron - he came, was methodical, practical, and helped me figure out my leak(s) - which happened to be in an irrigation pipe in the far edge of my property. You definitely benefit from his experience! Highly recommended to anyone looking to figure out where is the leak in their property. read more

If I could give an infinite amount of stars, I would. First off, communication with Sherlock Leak was very easy and quick. We knew something was wrong and Amit came by the next day for an inspection. He took his time to identify the problem - ended up being a slab leak - and gave us options on how to fix it. The next day, he came by to re-route our piping and I have never seen a service technician care as much as he did. Not only was he knowledgeable in what he was doing, he did it with as minimal damage as possible to the home. He went above and beyond to minimize opening up holes in the drywall and making sure everything was functioning properly at the end. He reset our water pressure in the kitchen and the shower upstairs and cleaned up after all the work was done. He treated our home as if it were his own and I cannot be more grateful for that. He also did his best to save us from spending more money on possible restoration if we had to open up the walls and the floors. He was also patient with answering all of my questions and even explained what he was doing. I cannot praise Amit and his service enough. If you have a leak, this is the place you want to call to make sure it gets done right. As a bonus, we also had our property insurance inspection right after Amit was done and both the inspectors were gobsmacked and impressed by Amit's work and lack of home destruction. They have seen so many properties and they didn't think a repair was done because they didn't see a million holes in the walls. I made sure they knew it was Sherlock Leak who did the job. 1000% would recommend. read more

Amit came out to my property in Highland Park to locate a leak. He did a fantastic job! The soil was dense, so it took him a considerable amount of time to locate the leak, but he remained patient and demonstrated great knowledge throughout. The price was reasonable. read more

I got Ron's contact information for an unknown leak in our house and he came to the house immediately and worked with us to troubleshoot where we though the leak was coming from and the appropriate next steps. He worked with us to find a leak remediation company who was immediately responsive. These are all of the normal things you would expect. Where Ron and Sherlock went above and beyond is continuing to follow up with me and coming out to my house two more times when we could not easily remediate the problem. Ron and the Sherlock team care deeply for their customers and I could not recommend them any more! read more

Im very happy with the service that they provided. He exactly pinpointed where the location of the leak was. He was very patient walked me through everything. He was patient enough to come back a second time to double check and verify everything. Price was fair definitely recommend their service for leak detection. read more

I had a leak in my kitchen that was coming up through my wood floors. I called Sherlock Leak Detection and Ron (owner) came over at exactly the time he told me. He quoted me $350.00 over the phone. He came with an infrared detection device and another device that detects water movement. He thoroughly checked the area of concern, and fortunately did not find anything major, and he assured me that I did not have a slab leak. (Big Sigh of Relief) Ron determined that the water most likely came from my reverse osmosis system, and I concurred. (A new one is on the way) In the end he only charged me $250.00, because he said it was easy. How great is that? You don't often find a business that would do that type of thing these days. The proof is in the pudding people. Thank you Ron - 5 Stars read more

We had determined that our residence had a water leak somewhere in service lead line. It was about 100 ft long, much of it below cement and concrete walls. Amit was unable to detect the leak using their air pressure process but using a probe he did identify a suspicious soft, wet area. This was the leak location and they saved significant time and money. They warned us that there limits to what they could tell us. I appreciated their honesty but they did deliver . read more

I had a leak (or what I thought to be a leak) in my house and I called Sherlock. They spent 10 minutes on the phone with me troubleshooting it and helped me conclude that I didn't have a leak but rather a water ingress problem from the outside. They were very helpful thought I was not a 'customer' but rather a potential customer. Helped me figure out who I should contact for the ingress problem! Thanks! read more

Amit was extremely knowledgeable, patient and friendly and did a great job helping us figure out the source of a broken pipe. Thank you.

We were having the hardest time trying to find the source of our mystery leak. It was a very small one that our Flume had alerted us to. Had we not had the Flume we would have never known the leak existed, until the bill came of course, because there were no other visible signs, nor could we hear any sounds of water. It was just so baffling. After1 week of extensive and very frustrating trouble shooting and 2 other leak detection services with imaging were unable to find the source of the leak, I called Sherlock Leak Detection with the hope their sonar equipment would be able to find it. They came out, started the inspection and a few minutes later he found it. It was under the grass in the front yard - a teeny tiny crack in the water line. With their equipment and the amplified noise, it was unmistakable. It was such a relief to finally find the source. Leaks, if not attended to can cause major damage. We have been down that road before and the thought of not knowing where the source or the location of the leak is and "worse case scenarios" of it leading to a possible mold remediation, we were stressing out hard. Sherlock was the first helpful step toward fixing this issue so thank you for the servuce, the help and the priceless peace if mind! read more

This was my first time dealing with a possible slab leak, and I honestly had no idea who to contact. I received a local recommendation, but when I checked Yelp, I noticed several recent negative reviews. When I looked up Sherlock Leak Detectives, it was the complete opposite--nothing but positive reviews. I can confidently say they deserve every one of them. From the very first contact, their responsiveness stood out. Amit responded immediately and was able to get me scheduled quickly. He arrived right on time, conducted a very thorough and detailed leak detection, and was able to clearly identify the problem area. Amit was extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, easy to work with, and very professional. This whole process felt far less stressful because of his reliability and clear communication. I would absolutely recommend Sherlock Leak Detectives to anyone dealing with a leak issue and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

Ron was courteous and efficient. Use all the technical aids of detection, And pinpointed very slow and difficult leak. What I specially appreciated was the way he tied together the low flow rate of the American water meter to the spread rate of the leak to narrow down the spot. read more

Based on the great reviews, Sherlock was the first and only company I needed to call to identify the source of my leak, after I noticed baseboard separating from drywall, and then water at base under shoe molding. Amit came with all the sophisticated equipment necessary to locate the source area of the slab. One of the things I really appreciated was that Amit was not here to generate plumbing work for his company, but rather just to pinpoint the leak, which is why the fair price of $350 was known up front. This eliminates issue where contractors sometimes determine price based upon home or neighborhood. read more

I recently installed a Flume water detector from LADWP. While I was away, I got a notification that there was water running. As soon as I got home, I called Ron from Sherlock Leak Detection. He came out the next morning, and through his expertise and the proper equipment, was able to pinpoint the leak in my irrigation system in less than an hour. He was honest in telling me that his guys could fix it, but that it would more cost effective to have my irrigation guy take care of it. I appreciate that kind of honesty in business. I would not hesitate to call Sherlock Leak Detection again. read more

Made an appointment with Ron in order to locate a leak at our home. He came on time with his equipment and was able to locate our leak within 20 minutes. Great service and very fair costs. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of locating a leak! read more

I noticed water coming up from my bedroom floor on a Saturday morning. I called the usual local plumbers in my area, but most didn't answer the phone or told me that they couldn't come for several days, so I checked Yelp and discovered Sherlock Leak Detection. Amit came over the next day and within 15 minutes and found the leak under my slab. He explained clearly what I needed to do, and then set me up with a fantastic plumber who repaired the leak. I am so happy that I found Sherlock Leak Detection. read more

Wonderful service located the leak and the manifold so we were able to shut off the part of the house that was leaking.

Amit and team were professional , on time and very knowledgeable. The leak was located and a detailed report was provided and repairs were made by a referred contractor. Happy with the result! read more

Very easy to work with guys. They did not detect any leaks so now we have a peace of mind.

I highly recommend Sherlock Leak Detection. I called them as soon as I discovered that the location of the water leak in my home in Simi Valley needed to be detected before I could call a plumber. Ron came right out, located the leak and marked it and its trail, so that I was able to contact the plumber, who arrived soon afterward and begin fixing the leak. I was very pleased with Ron's detective work and very happy that I had found Sherlock Leak Detection. read more

Our leak was frustrating to find for a very long time. We tried multiple plumbers and multiple leak detection companies , but nobody seemed to have the right solution, but finally Amit from Sherlock leak detection came and figured it out with his special equipment. We were very happy with the service and would definitely recommend. Joe read more

We found a leak in my house, and fixed it the same day by talking to my gardener. Great service. Ron is a pleasure to deal with

Sherlock Leak Detection was fantastic! They showed up right on time, were very thorough, and quickly found the slab leak. Professional, knowledgeable, and reliable--I truly appreciate their work and highly recommend them. read more

I called Sherlock around 9:15am, scheduled an appointment for 12pm and Amit showed up right on time and even gave me a heads up 10 min courtesy call. He did a fantastic job tracking a leak in my garage through a concrete slab that my plumber could not identify the day before. He spent a good two hours looking at all possible sources and measuring distances etc. He eventually tracked the leak to my NEIGHBORS kitchen sink. A Christmas miracle if you ask me. Fee was $350. Money well spent in my opinion. He recommended a course of action to my neighbors and gave some additional helpful tips. 10/10 would recommend and will call again in the future if (hopefully not) needed. read more

These guys are great. They were prompt and communicative and very efficient. Would definitely use them again.

i wish every business had the level of integrity, expertise, trustworthiness, and personal touch as Sherlock Leak Detection. The technician, Amit, knew what he was doing, and genuinely cared about making sure I was satisfied with the service. He went above and beyond to answer my questions and concerns. This is the second time I've used Sherlock Leak Detection. Both times the problem was evaluated and resolved with efficiency and a high degree of skill. I recommend Sherlock Leak Detection as the best overall service provider I've seen in years. A true pleasure doing business with this company. read more

Raanan was awesome. Very thorough and knowledgeable and exceptionally fair when it came to pricing. Highly recommend!

Ron, communicates promptly, professionally and kindly. He came to my house and was there when he said he was going to be. He was able to identify a leak quickly and made recommendations on what to have done. He even gave a point by point report that I could show my plumber on the issue and went above and beyond. He is very fairly priced as well! I highly recommend Sherlock Leak Detection and Ron very, very highly! read more

They were the best ever! Slab, underground, special equipment. I've never seen anything like it. Will definitely use again in the future and recommend to anybody that's having leak problems. read more

Amit came right on time and explained everything thoroughly. Communication with the office and Amit was fast and accurate. I did not have complicated problems, but Amit was knowledgeble and knew what he was doing. read more

Trustworthy company that was referred to me. very reasonable charge of $350. They only do detection so thet are not interested in adding unnecessary plumbing work. First plumber didn't find the leak and quoted me $800, telling me it could be in the slab. Ameet used his ears to determine it was the toilet running after turning off the valve which the first plumber didn't do. Ameet used his equipment to confirm. So glad Ameet came and was honest. read more

Ron, he's a very professional person. He detect the leak in five minutes. I highly recommend. read more
