Best people to call if you need a water leak located. You may have to wait until they get to you, but worth the wait.

What an excellent service provider! Highly recommended.
A week ago today we got the bad news from our water utility meter reader that we had a water leak. Of course we had no clue where it was since all the faucets, the water heater, the toilets and the crawl space had no signs of leakage.
Based on a solid referral we called C. Cruz. Sal showed up on time the next day and went right to work. After some sleuthing he marked out a suspected leak location 4 ft below grade in the area of our main feed line and then cleaned up nicely.
Very professional, friendly, punctual and, as it turned out, ACCURATE service. The plumbers who came to diagnose/repair the leak in the suspected location the next day dug straight down to find a large crack within 6 inches of the very spot Sal had marked from 4 ft up.
Which meant the plumbers didn't need to waste a minute of time digging to either side of the predicted failure location. They liked that and so did we.
Thank you Sal and C. Cruz!

I've been dealing with a sub surface leak in the fresh water line to my house. I called C. Cruz because they were recommended by the plumber I've hired (who does not do leak location), and because their Yelp reviews were excellent.
I was not disappointed. I can't express how impressed I am with the professionalism and technical abilities shown by C. Cruz. The price was eminently fair (wish my plumbing repairs by another plumber were the same.)
When you need the best, C. Cruz is it, hands down.

Wow! I just spoke to Chris from CCruz and he gave me so must insight into a water leak problem that I am having. He talked to me for about 30 minutes. Explained what made sense and what didn't including why his company would not be the right fit for me and saved me hundreds of dollars if not thousands as well as headaches all for free over the phone.
I am so happy to see that there are still people out there that have integrity and really care about people as well as their own craft.
Thank you Chris!

I had slab leakage in my house. I called multiple plumbing companies to see if they can detect it and fix it. Most of them I asked me to call C-Cruz to detect the leakage.
So I called him and left a voice mail and Chris called me back and gave me an appointment. Chris came and tried to locate the leakage. He had already informed me on the phone that it's very difficult to pinpoint leakage if you have wooden or laminated flooring. And I had laminated flooring. He marked the plumbing layout and he was able to accurately pin point the leakage location under the laminated flooring.
The cost was around 300$.
Really great guy and very professional. I would definitely recommend him for slab detection job.
Remember they are very busy so they might not pick up your phone so make sure to leave a message.

Chris was great as far as trying to find the leak and working with the plumber to make sure we did the best thing possible cost wise. He followed up with me daily and came out a second time to recommend to the plumber how best to proceed.

We had water in an area under the carpet in our old Eichler home. Bullseye leak detection charged us $325 for a rough estimate of where the leak might be, and recommended a repipe. We spent $15,000 to repipe our entire house, but it turned out the leak was in our radiant heating system, and most likely not our indoor plumbing. This time we called C. Cruz who was recommended by our radiant heat guy. Chris Sr. and his assistant came out right away, and located the leak under our kitchen cabinets. They only charged me $250 after hearing that we had already thrown away our money with the first leak detector. In order to pinpoint the leak, Chris Sr. recommended that we remove the cabinets, which turned out to be water damaged underneath. C. Cruz came back a second time, free of charge, and pinpointed the leak so it can finally get repaired properly. I like that this is a family business. The communication was excellent, the service was prompt and professional, and the results were reliable.

We had a major plumbing job planned and the plumber recommended C Cruz to locate the gas, sewer and water lines in the front. They showed up on time and did a through survey, marked everything clearly and even helped diagnose an oddity in our sewer line that helped us select the right kind of sewer line replacement method. They also gave us some suggestions on relocating the water lines when the time comes. We walked away with a DVD of the sewer line inspection and more confidence. And when PG&E failed to show up to mark the gas lines, we were able to direct the diggers to work on another area until they finally moseyed their way to our house.

I have a water leak at home, so I called them to find out the options I have. Chris diagnosed over the phone and eventually recommended me an option that would NOT involve C Cruz!!! I mean he could have easily ""just"" spoken about their service but he asked me several questions about my piping, length of use etc and eventually suggested to get the piping replaced (instead of fixing a leak) as that is more long term solution in my case. I appreciate their honesty. Thanks Chris!

Chris and his assistant did an excellent job, and completed a big job in a very reasonable amount of time. Highly recommend!
