Contractors accidentally drilled through a water pipe below our garage floor slab yesterday afternoon--meaning that we had to shut off water to the house. I wasn't looking forward to the inconvenience (and explanation to my wife). I left a message for Scott, and then called another plumber. The other plumber came out promptly and gave a quote...but could not do the work until the next day. Scott called me back and not only said that he would come out at 7 pm that same day to fix the problem, but his charges were lower! Talking with him while he was working I was able to observe not only the quality of his work, but also his commitment to his principles of treating every customer's house as though it were his own. Not only did he do a superb job with the plumbing itself, but he did an expert job of finishing the concrete patch in the slab. Scott is now saved in my contact favorites. I will be having him do a couple of known projects, and will be sure to call on him for future projects as well as share his information with family, friends and neighbors. read more

Came out to the garage one morning and found us sloshing through water that looked like it came from the laundry room. The laundry room floor was very warm so we suspected a burst pipe under the laundry room We called Slab Leaks plus and Ryan came out and gave us a fair proposal to dry out and reroute our water line from the water heater to our sink in the laundry room. He brilliantly designed a reroute that only required two openings in our drywall ! They also repaired our drywall and retextured our wall expertly so that you cannot even notice that it was repaired. We are very happy with their service and will use them again if another pipe bursts. read more

Scott came out shortly after we called him. He was very gruff and rude on the phone, but we were desperate because we thought we had a slab leak. Scott came out the next day and told us the pipe was leaking above the slab. He set up a fan and dehumidifier, which we ran for 4 days (leaky pipe was under our stairs). The work he did for us was adequately done; however, I feel he overcharged for 2 days' work: $5400.00! Also, we endured 2 days of Scott yelling, cursing and berating his assistant. He never even attempted to clean up his mess or put my kitchen cabinet doors back on. I texted him to tell him not to send out his drywall guy as we would use our trusted handyman. The poor drywall guy never got the message from Scott and had driven all the way from San Clemente to No. Orange County. All in all, it was a very unpleasant and expensive experience. Be forewarned. read more

I called on Friday evening after a high water bill and realizing our leak detector on the water meter was spinning. Scott was at our house the next morning. He diagnosed the location of our slab leak quickly, and capped that pipe only so the rest of our house still had water during repairs. Scott and Dennis rerouted hot and cold water pipes through our kitchen cabinets. Otherwise we'd have had to dig up our kitchen and garage floors. We also had him replace our front spigot. When they were done, Scott did a walkthrough of our plumbing and fixed a clogged drain, loose tub overflow cover, and a toilet that has randomly run for years that no one seemed able to fix properly. As other reviews say, Scott is a straight shooter. He's there to work and fix problems, so he'll ask lots of questions and give you his opinion straight with no sugar coating. He does quality, honest work for the price quoted. We were very happy with his services! read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Scott and Slab Leaks Plus. He is honest, hard-working, extremely knowledgeable, and beyond fair when it comes to pricing. My house had a leak from an unknown source which I had brought out another company that wanted to charge me $14k for their services. I called Scott out for a second opinion, and he was able to find the issue, (something the other company stated they needed to tear down 4 walls) was able to correct it, and did a monumental job with making my house look great again. Had I not had Scottt come out and give me his honest advice, I would have been out not only the $14k, but whatever they would have charged to correct the issue. I've had him out now on 6 occasions for various needs (it's an old house) and there is nobody that I would rather call. His rates are extremely fair and his work is done right the first time, always. Highly recommended. Work Completed to 100% satisfaction: 1) Main drain sewer pipe leak inside wall (demolition, pipe repair, drywall repair, finishing) 2) New water heater (quoted $800 higher from competition) 3) Leaking hose bib repair read more

After reading a few good reviews and a couple bad reviews, Scott is the man for our water leak! He is a straight shooter, honest, extremely knowledgeable and hard working! Showed up on time and finished the job on time! Beautiful work, Scott and Dennis! Thank you! Old man Sam read more

Scotty is your guy. He will ask you a ton of questions over the phone in order to try and diagnose the issue and save you money. He was on time, completed the job and cleaned up. Stop researching - just call him! read more

During our landscaping project, we encountered a main service line leak right at our foundation, and of course it had to happen late on a Friday. Searched for an experienced plumber, and was fortunate enough to find Scott and the team at Slab Leaks Plus. When I called, I got to speak directly with Scott and described our situation. He listened intently, helped to relieve my anxiety , and provided us with a reasonable estimate for replacing our 30 plus year old service line (I knew that replacing the old copper line would be better than just patching and having the same thing happen again). Scott committed to starting the job the very next morning, and he arrived on time as promised. I felt at ease because his straightforward way of explaining what he was going to do was reassuring. I can tell you that Scott and his team work hard, are professionals who know what they are doing and accomplish the job without delay. We had our water back on in less time than I thought it was going to take. I know I can rest assured that the service line will be operating for years to come. On top of this, Scott actually charged us less than the price he quoted over the phone. If you are looking for a straight up, no nonsense, professional plumber, then you need to give Scott and Slab Leaks Plus a call. I'm glad we did! read more

Last week we found out our water bill was about 15 times higher than normal! We also heard and saw water gushing out from an underground drain pipe leading directly into a storm drain. Two people from IRWD checked on it and couldn't give any helpful information other than saying there was a leak. I hired one plumbing company and confirmed there was a leak with the outside irrigation system but couldn't go further. I checked with a landscaper and was told he would have to start digging to find out where the problem was. I then looked up one Ov...... plumbing company that offered electronic leak detection. On the appointed day, I received a call saying their equipment is not functioning and would contract out to another company to do the job for about five times their original quoted rate! This was definitely a scam to get me to pay more! Then I checked a few more companies on line and found Slab Leaks Plus and made an appointment. Scott and a partner came on time and started to look for leak immediately. With his knowledge and experience, he did located the leak which actually was from an old outdoor water heater for the BBQ station. I also asked him to remove and reconnect the pipe for the sink. Highly recommended! read more

Wow. Called this guy based on reviews of his work. I have a slab leak that was detected less than 36 hours ago. Instead of helping me, all he did was berate me for "waiting so long"! What?? Super rude and arrogant. Glad I found this out before I hired him!! read more

This was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I merely was asking for someone to come out for an estimate and tried to explain my situation. Scott, the owner, merely dismissed me rudely as if I was some idiot and told me he didn't want the job and to find someone else. Don't use this company. People like this man don't deserve to receive any business from anyone. There are much better people in this world. read more

We are so happy with the service we recieved from Scott. We purchased our home last year and knew we had our work cut out for us. Scott helped identify and solve all our plumbing issues. He was the 3rd plumber we hired. 3rd times the charm!! read more

We have had an ongoing high water bill be attributed to a leak in our spa, had the spa leak repaired and still had a high water bill. I called Slab Leak Plus, Ryan came out the next day and carefully checked every possible source of water. We were lucky and did not have a slab leak, but a bad pressure valve for our tankless hot water system. He fixed it, cleaned up after himself and then made a suggestion for a quick repair I can do myself (replacing a timer on the water heater to extend it's life). Thank you, Slab Leak Plus, hopefully I will never need you again, but if I do I know who to call. read more

Scott was honest, smart, forthright and using his tools was able to isolate the cause of the leak to my irrigation system. Thankfully, it was not a slab leak. He advised me to check my toilets for leaks first before he made the service call. The leak might of been under the porch so he quoted $1,100 to fix it. It turned out the leak was not under the porch which would of required jet blasting a hole under the porch. So, he took $300 off the bill. He is direct in his conversation which could put some people off. read more

I called 10 companies and decided to go with Scott at Slab Leaks Plus. I went with Scott because I felt his ideas to complete this job were smarter and better communicated than all the plumbers that I interviewed. I moved my gas meter and needed to rerun gas pipe from the home to the new meter. Scott did an amazing job and took the stress out of such a complex job with the ground digging, holes and new piping and timed everything well with the gas company. I hope he can repipe my home next as I know I can trust him with my plumbing needs. Great job and looking forward to the next one! read more

I called and spoke with a four leak detection companies on a Friday afternoon. Slab Leaks Plus was not the lowest cost provider but Scott was good about educating me, while I described the issue; his experience came through loud and clear. He made a commitment and followed through, and his ability to find a problem and quality of work is excellent. If you are offended when someone is too direct, keep looking. If you appreciate a person confident in their ability to find and resolve a water problem, call Scott. read more

I noticed that our kitchen tiles were unusually warm a few days ago. I suspected a slab leak. I got a plumber to come out yesterday to give a quote. That quote was $4200. I called Slab Leaks (found them on Google Maps) and Scott gave me an over-the-phone price range of $1500-$2500 for most slab leaks. Ryan and Rod came out today and spent the day fixing our leak. Unlike the first company, they did a leak detection to isolate the specific section of pipe. The other company quoted the rerouting of a section that in the end would have been incorrect. Ryan quoted the re-route at $1800 after the $250 for the leak detection. He gave us two options and ended up being able to do a reroute that went outside the house instead of tearing up multiple walls and ceilings. Thankfully the inconvenience of drywall repair and painting were minimal. They patiently explained the layout of all of our pipes so my wife and I could understand how the plumbing ran through the house. They were very courteous and left everything very clean. A bonus was their ability to do the drywall work (an additional $200) instead of having to find someone else on my own. They get my two thumbs up. read more

Scott and team recently helped out with a re-pipe on my house. Scott came out early morning to identify my issue and clearly presented all of my options. His team was punctual and very informative, explaining as they went along. The staff was courteous and respectful cleaning as they went along and at the end of each day. The price was fair and the job was done well. I couldn't even tell where they had opened up holes at the end of the job! Thanks for coming to our aid Slab Leaks! read more

While I did go through with the entire project yet, I felt very well taken care of here. 24 hour service, they offered to come out instantly, even on a Sunday evening. Scott is very knowledgeable, up front and honest, everything you want in a plumber. Fair pricing, available immediately. Unfortunately, we need new plumbing in our entire home and that will take a bit to save up for, but this will be the first company I contact when it time. Highly recommended, as good honest plumbers that don't overcharge are very hard to come by. read more

When my water district notified me of a small leak, I called Scott and he walked me through the process of leak detection, giving me steps that I could take to make sure it wasn't just a leaky faucet, toilet, or irrigation system. Satisfied that he wouldn't be taking my money for something I could handle myself, he scheduled a visit for early the next morning. The leak was difficult to locate, due to a number of hidden manifolds in the walls, and his crew made sure to pinpoint it before cutting into my walls to cap off the leaking pipe and install a single, new pipe run to replace the old. His crew made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way and gave me options at every point. Scott even followed up the next day to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. Very professional! read more

Got the water bill and it had tripled and when I checked the meter, it was showing continual use. Worried about a leak, I called a few places. Made one appointment with another company but when Scott answered, he took the time to troubleshoot my issue over the phone. He could have come over and charged his fee(that everyone charges) but instead gave me a few things to check on. Turns out I had a bad toilet valve which I fixed myself. Although I did not hire Scott and his company, I felt that his customer service was worthy of a review. I would definitely use this company in the future or recommend them to a friend. read more

We have used Slab Leaks Plus on a couple of occasions and both times the experience was great. We recently had a leak that required immediate attention and Scott was able to come out first thing Saturday morning and stop any additional damage. On Monday Ryan and team started the project, after some investigation we decided to do a full house re-pipe. The project lasted several week and the team did a great job working as quickly as possible, cleaning up each day and were very professional. They were also very helpful in dealing with our insurance company and making sure the whole process went smoothly. Our house looks great and we are very grateful for all the help we received from Ryan and the entire team. Thank you again! I would highly recommend Slab Leaks Plus!!! read more

Really don't feel good about this company. The scheduling was so messed up. On the first appointment made , when Scott called me on the way , I did not pick his call immediately as I was on the phone. I called back 2 minutes later, he said he was already on the way to the other job because I did not answer his call immediately . Then we made a new appointment in next week on the phone. On next appointment time, I came downstairs using my butt due to my ankle surgery to wait for him. He did not showed up in the time window (which was 2 hours). After two and a half hours, I called and receptionist told me there was no appointment set for me. So I made third appointment with Ryan for next few days. About price, I called to asked price for them come out. The answer was free unless they need use their instrument to check. On the 3rd appointment, Ryan came tested water pressure, put a meter(a palm size) on the floor and unscrew the bottom cover of dishwasher. He found water was leaked out from dishwasher. He said he is not sure if the wall behind dish washer has mold but he did not bother to pull the dishwasher out to check. He might spent 15-20 minutes most. The charge was $250. I felt that was too high. But I did not want to argue and took it as a hard lesson. I was wondering what was "free " meaning? Who could ever get free of charge? Not recommend use this company. Suggest you ask more specific question when you ask price. read more

Slab Leaks plus came out on very short notice, set up work and then did a fantastic job not only problem solving on our difficult leak, but also finding a couple problems that could contribute to future problems. They were able to quickly fix the additional plumbing issues and install a new garbage disposal per request. Ryan and Dennis were not only skilled and knowledgeable, but they were also courtious and patient to get this project done in a day. Well done, highly recommended. read more

Great results. Great price. Great people. Called Scott on Saturday, explained that I was pretty sure I had a slab leak under the house. We made an appointment for the following Tuesday. Scott came over, located the leak and capped it. He outlined a plan to fix the problem. Gave us a price up front. Scott and his team worked for two long days, cutting drywall, running new pipe and finally patching and texturing all the drywall. During this process Scott found a defective valve behind the refrigerator, which he replaced at no additional cost. I have to add, I was out of town on business during the project. Scott called twice a day to keep me informed on the progress and any new developments. read more

In the past two years, we've had a couple of leaks in my parent's home in Mission Viejo and so we worked with many plumbers. Our first plumbing service charged us an arm and leg to find the leak(2 hours to find a leak). They fixed it, but leaked again and wanted to charges us again. Our second plumber was nice, but overcharged us, was not licensed and did a crappy job in repairing the drywall. I decided to call Scott on Yelp. Scott is the gruffest and most direct of the group but he is very systematic in finding leaks. He found the leak in less than an hour and I paid him for his time. He also gave me a fair quote on what it would cost to re-pipe the water line. Scott's work is good, honest and straightforward. Scott and Ryan have a heart of gold and will go beyond their call of duty to help the customer. Thank you! read more

These guys are top notch. I had a slab leak, which was coming from two cold water pipes and they were here same day to investigate, followed with a complete reroute of two pipes the following day. Price was reasonable for A+ quality work. Ryan is the main guy who was onsite and is awesome! Highly recommend this company! read more

I called them as my last result, wrong of me I should have called them first Scott was indescribable, came in told me exactly what needed to be done no BS got it fixed and he even went above call of duty and fixed my drywall I only wish he could have painted too.... if you are looking for a GREAT plumber just call Scott you will get the best man on the job. This note is for Scott thank you for all your help thank you for getting it done so quickly really appetite your professionalism and care. S Noble Irvine read more

We have used Slab Leaks several times over the years, finally doing a full repipe after a slab leak showed up. The work has always been high quality, and Scott's recommendation have turned out to be right. read more

Thank you, job some well and at a very competitive price. After receiving much higher bids sight unseen you guys came out and bid the price very competitively. Appreciate that, thank you- read more

I called this company hoping they could help me but I was charged 250 for them to tell me what I already knew none of my issues were resolved and I'm in the same situation I was before they came out read more

Called to ask about a water leak and the person on the phone was extremely rude. He told me to get my mom in the background to "stop yapping". Rude. read more

Great guys! They went above and beyond! They fixed a leaking faucet without even mention it or charge for it, they are very professional they finished on time and didn't overcharged me and it's been few months now and no issue what so ever the water pressure is perfect ( better than before!) And they dry wall batching matched the existing pattern! Highly recommend it! read more

I was awoken this morning at 7:30 from my neighbor. Turns out she had a slab leak. Lots of water flow. I asked my other neighbor who he would recommend. He said he had used Slab Leaks Plus. I made the call and talked to Scott. He told me a time he was going to be there and he was right on time. I was acting as the middleman as my neighbor had to leave. Scott surveyed the situation, gave me a bid and proceeded to make the necessary repairs. We had to wait a bit for the homeowner to return home but Scott was very patient and kept to his original bid. Very professional clean and true to his word. I would recommend him and his company for future work! read more

A huge thanks to Scott who sacrificed his Saturday afternoon today and literally came in within an hour to rescue a big water leak from my upstairs bathroom to the garage in our recently bought home. When he arrived to my home, he talked me through every step and made sure I didn't panic. Although there was still a large amount of water damage, he was able to discover the multiple source of problems, salvage, repair and dry out the wet areas in no time. They cleaned up everything and will even return this week to complete the dry wall and paint. I have never dealt with a leak/water damage to this extent and felt immediately at ease when Scott came to take over the job. I told him I have him on emergency dial now and highly recommend him. Thank you Scott and thank you for making such a great impression on my boys! I hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your Saturday! read more

Ryan @ Slab Leaks Plus (aka Kastle plumbing) replaced a cracked kitchen sewer line, which required opening the outside stucco wall (using a hummer - a high tech method) Gustavo fixed the stucco wall couple of days later. read more

Well I had a slab leak, so Slab Leaks Plus came out to my house and ended up having to remove my vanity, leak was between vanity and shower i believe thats what he said. Anyways, they came out and when everything was said and done. My bathroom works and looks better than it did before they started. Always a breath of fresh air when you get a contractor that cleans up after themselves. read more

Outstanding service from Scott and company. Came out within an hour and isolated the leaking slab pipes. The crew came back the next week to repipe. I have to say this was some of the best and most professional work done on my house . Ryan and his crew were exceptional. Any future plumbing needs will be done by them without a doubt. read more

Honest, professional, fast. Highly recommend Slab Leaks Plus. We had American slab leaks come out about 6 months ago for a suspected leak. They First told us the leak could possibly be coming from our irrigation or pool equipment and that they couldn't fix that. American then suspected another issue and gave us an estimate for $8,000. Good thing we went with our instinct and assumed it was our irrigation system and didn't pay the 8k for the unnecessary work they recommended. Fast forward to last week when our wood floors had holes in them from moisture underneath that was not detected by American slab leaks. Ryan with Slab Leaks Plus immediately identified the source of our leak and fixed the problem. From the day Ryan came out to detect the leak to the day of completion of the remediation work was 8 days. read more

The reviews about Scott being rude are unfortunately true. Called after hours, as we noticed pools of water on the floor and baseboards buckled suddenly one evening. He asked me if I was sure it wasn't just water from the shower. I confirmed that it was not leaking from the shower. He then asked me again if I was sure, and yet one more time with "are you positive"?? The conversation continued with this type of attitude and I really couldn't believe it. Given their name is "Slab Leaks Plus" AND they offer 24/7 service, you think he would be more helpful for people that may have an emergency leak situation. I'm sure people have off days, but he didn't have to pick up the phone if he wasn't in the mood to deal with customers. Don't waste your time calling this one. read more
