Founded in 2005, Acme Detection aimed to support homeowners in the Santa Barbara region. During our construction projects, we often faced difficulties in leak detection. Other leak detection companies had long wait times or charged exorbitant fees. We decided to find leaks ourselves using one truck to enhance our project efficiency. Today, we have expanded to three trucks serving the wider Santa Barbara region.

Specializing in leak detection, he also has a broad understanding of the construction field. When not on the job, he loves surfing and boating, aiming to be on the water as often as possible.

Gary spent much time with me on the phone listening to me describe my problem and giving me recommendations for proceeding further with or without him. We problem solved together without even having met. 5 stars to Acme and Gary for outstanding professionalism and genuine care. As a follow up I have since learned that the homeowners around me and the HOA also use Acme leak detection. They're the best.

I moved into a house, and about 2 months in, picked up a musty/moldy smell, particularly in the master bath. Having lung issues already I confess I was a little worried, wondered about moving out. The landlord (a hero!) called Acme Detection, and Gary Fuller was on site with all his detection devices, moving quickly around the house - and within an hour he knew what pipes needed to be replaced, what walls & ceilings had to be uncovered - and immediately after his assessment, his construction crew showed up and did all the cutting, pipe fixing, replastering - the whole thing solved in about 2 weeks maximum. I stayed in another part of the house while it went on, without trouble. TERRIFIC TEAM! Honest, also and that's the main thing.

My experience with Acme leak detection was great. Gary came out and spent a few hours helping me locate a leak. When my guys were digging where Gary indicated the leak was, I texted him to ask him a question and as he was in the area he simply stopped by the check in and take a look. This goes above and beyond what was expected. He is very professional and I would highly recommend Acme Leak Detection.

We called Gary to help find what we thought was a leak in the water supply line to a very old home. He was able to come out the day after I called him, and he determined quickly within an hour) that the leak was a sewer/drain line issue, not a water supply line leak.
He then told me the pipe would need re-lining, and that I needed to find a plumber that specialized in that, AND he took the time to describe 3 methods of pipe re-lining, so that when I called plumbers I would understand a bit about what they could do and whether it was appropriate to the situation. He was friendly, professional and informative!

Gary and his crew found my slab leak, fixed it, put everything back as it was in a very timely manner- all with great professionalism and respect! I recommend them wholeheartedly!

★★★★★

We had an underground water leak. Acme Detection showed up on time the same day called. The leak was found after a very thorough audio inspection (about 30 test sites). Acme's plumber was able to locate and fix the leak the same day. Acme Detection completed the job on time and on budget. Much thanks goes to Acme Detection Company's Gary Fuller and his positive can do attitude.

We had a relatively unpleasant leak coming from our kitchen. Gary F. came by, and within minutes was able to identity the problem. He was very friendly and professional, making the whole process even easier!

Gary and his team of experts have saved me several times. I have had multiple plumbing issues after moving into a new condominium complex in Santa Barbara. Whether it was finding the location of a broken water pipe damaged by tree roots; to figuring out where in the walls a leak is coming from; and most recently when my shower handle broke with the water fully on. The team at Acme are prompt; professional; and cost effective. They are also really good at their jobs. I cannot recommend highly enough.

So nice to have a service that will tell when they don't think you have a problem. I called about some mold in my closet and he talked me through different scenarios and things to try first before engaging the leak detection. Very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with me on the phone. So great to find HONEST people!
