Sleuth - Water bubbling from a copper pipe that burst. - Plumbing Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I noticed some water leaking up between my floor joints in the kitchen and Florida room of my condo. I contacted my insurance company to file a claim. They sent out a Claim Adjuster who decided to hire Sleuth to find out where the water was coming from Sleuth sent Jason to my home and he used space-age detection equipment to try and find the leak. His equipment did determine there was water under my floor, but he couldn't trace where it was coming from. He ran two loads of the dishwasher, turned my AC to 70 degrees so it would work hard, and ran the kitchen faucet for 30 minutes. Further investigation turned up some dishwasher insulation with water stains, but it was dry so Jason could not confirm it was the cause of the leak. He did say that sometimes on older washers the Leakage from a bad seal can come and go. Even though his report was inconclusive, Jason did everything he could to pinpoint the leak short of tearing up the floor. read more

Our water bill has gone through the roof in the last few months, showing thousands of gallons used even when we weren't occupying this town house (and internal valves were shut). A realtor friend recommended Sleuth so I contacted them this morning and was told they could send a technician the next day. A little later, they called back to say one of their techs had a sudden opening in his schedule, so we said "Great, send him right over." Joe C arrived within an hour and quickly diagnosed the leak--a 40-year-old copper supply line had a pinhole that was spraying water against the bottom floor of the house. It was audible but not visible to me, but Joe showed me the video he'd taken of the spraying leak and also provided it to my plumber, who will make the repair. And I can probably obtain a partial credit on my water bills reflecting the unwarranted cost (ie, since the leaked water is just going back into the water table and being sold to me twice). read more

We had a problem with moisture. Tyler from Sleuth Leak Detection came right away, arranging to come at a time that worked for all of us. He did a thorough detection of any moisture in our home, explained what was going on so thoroughly, looked at other issues throughout our home, inside and out, and gave us such helpful advice on improvements. I HIGHLY recommend Sleuth Leak Detection and Tyler. We are so relieved after Tyler assessed our home! read more

Our home insurance sent Sleuth to look for leaks in specific spots in our home. A technician named Jay showed up and spent almost two hours talking about how our floors were a massive problem, they needed to be torn out and replaced and that everyone's floors in Florida do. He was extremely redundant and insistent on the subject but offered no solutions. This was not why he was hired. It was difficult to redirect the unpleasant (and unnecessary) alarmism and no one else (including two other reputable leak detection companies) confirmed any of his information. It was a strange experience. I would suggest to avoid this particular inspector if possible. read more

Tyler Moore my Sleuth field technician was helpful in identifying a bathtub leak. Below me, water is seeping into the unit. After separating and testing our water systems, he was able to identify the issue with great professionalism and thoroughness. Kaye G. read more

Sleuth Leak Detection pinpointed a pipe leak in my guest bedroom. The plumber ripped up the flooring and jackhammered the concrete as per Sleuth's location. It was the wrong room! The leak was 2 rooms away. Sleuth did refund their fee but they refuse to reimburse me the $470 it cost me to repair the damage caused by their error. This is unacceptable. They need to take responsibility for their horrendous bad work. I gave them 1 star for this error plus I waited 4 days without water for them to show up. They really deserve no stars. read more

Sleuth is the LEAST CUSTOMER Focused business I have ever dealt with. The Sleuth rep found the leak and said he could repair it. But, because I did not have an exact matching tile to replace the one Sleuth would need to break to get to the leak and stop the water, he refused to fix the leak. REASON: as stated by Sleuth rep, he said that Sleuth does a lot of jobs for insurance companies. If he broke the tile to fix the leak and stop water flowing into my house and then I filed an insurance claim, I might insist that the insurance company replace all the tiles so that the tiles match. The insurance company would come after Sleuth. He again reiterated that Sleuthgets a lot of business from insurance companies and they could not anger them. Isn't that a great business ethic? But they still wanted their $360 which he demanded in a somewhat menacing manner. I guess Sleuth worships at the altar of Insurance companies and the almighty dollar rather than at church on Sundays. Sleuth is the worst in my opinion. read more

Sleuth has detected two leaks in our previous home and pinpointed the source of moisture in our current home. We were amazed at how quick and accurately they detected our problems. Two were slab leaks and they found the exact location, which prevented excessive damage to our flooring when having repairs completed. Most recently, Shawn (field technician) was able to detect the source of moisture in our attic a/c ductwork. He was fast, thorough and friendly! We HIGHLY recommend Sleuth for leak detection. Their service will save you time and potential damage to your home. read more

Called "Sleuth" by plumber recommendation. Very professional, highly skilled man came from Jacksonville to Deltona FL. Within 1 hr he had located the leak under the slab to within 3 inches horizontally. He charged $300. We asked if he could do more: he offered to open the floor, cut through concrete and put a temporary clamp until plumber could finish. He charged an extra $150. He was fast and neat and left everything clean. Another company quoted over $6.000, with no guarantee to just locate it. Nothing else. Sleuth was great. Thorough, efficient, neat, and very reasonable. I would highly recommend them. Kevin was the tech who came to us. Hope you can get him, but I am sure others are just as good. read more

Sleuth leak detection was used by UPC insurance to determine a leak that ruined my kitchen floor. The technician didn't seem to know what he was doing and didn't seem to put much effort into finding the leak. He said it was my garbage disposal and left. Upon calling another company, it was actually my dishwasher that had been slowing leaking underneath my laminate flooring. My tech was Matt. read more

Leak required ceiling and insulation removal. They left an absolute wet mess and ceiling parts and dust all over the floor, tables, chairs ,kitchen appliances . It took three of us three hours to clean up. When I asked their guy before he departed if he was going to clean his mess up he just laughed and said it was not his job to do that. And he left. I'd certainly recommend a better company for detecting a leak. read more

Clay Utilities believe we had a leak due to an increase in our water usage. With no visual evidence of any leaks we called Sleuth Inc Leak Detection. Very pleased with the fast response and professionalism of not only the staff that answered when I called but also Kevin, their Field Technician. He was very courteous and helpful. He explained everything that he was doing, what was wrong and what I needed to do to fix the problem. We would recommend the company and especially Kevin to anyone. Sleuth Inc Leak Detection is the company you need for any plumbing leak needs. read more

I had a negative experience with American Leak Detection, and I suspected I still had a leak problem. Called Sleuth, and Technician Matthew Booth showed up right on time. Matthew began by checking my meter, and found that when all the water was off, the meter did not move, meaning we had no leak under the slab, or in the house. The water company has just installed a new meter, and the suspicion is it was not calibrated properly. This took 5-10 minutes, and Matthew did NOT charge us for the call! Amazing! Great honest response! I will call Sleuth in the future for any leaks I suspect. read more

Came home to a flooded bedroom, bathroom, hallway. Nightmare! Bobby from Sleuth with his sophisticated equipment found the problem in no time. Broken pipe in the wall! He was on time, great communication. Highly recommend this company and a shout out to Bobby. Thank you. read more

I'm never using Sleuth again. 2 days ago they came to my house to locate a leak under the slab. They found it, broke a hole and put a clamp on it and left $425. Hours later it filled with water. I called them back, less than 3 feet away a coupling from another fix popped, because they caused it. No problem they charged me again. With a $100 discount. $325. In the mean time I had to call an emergency plumber to fix this bigger problem they caused. Find some other leak detection company that doesn't enjoy ripping people off. read more

Sleuth Leak Detection is one of the most professional and well-managed company I have ever done business with. Marty was the first technician that arrived on time at my house, he was exceptionally professional, polite, knowledgeable and did everything he could to solve the problem. At some point Marty decided to call a second technician from Sleuth, Colby to investigate further and understand what was going on. They spent several hours and had many different challenges; however, they managed all the challenges and exceeded successfully. They are a true caring, professional, amazing company and very reasonably priced. I will certainly recommend your company to others, and I am very grateful that you took care of me. read more

Pete was the technician who came and identfied exactly where the leak is. He marked it well for the plumber who will be coming and explained fully where the leak is and why it happened. The plumber we had in yesterday said we needed our whole house replumbed for $3900! He never even looked closely. Thank you Pete and Sleuth! read more

Paid $300 for no answer. His "high tech" told was a water pressure meter. Lol. And he broke my faucet so now i have to replace that. Called the manager and he said i could pay an extra couple hundred for more testing! What a joke. Like I'm going to flush my money down the toilet TWICE! read more
