Recommended Customer Reviews

We called CPL out to a apartment complex in Escondido to find a cold water leak under a sidewalk last year, Chris Desarno came out late in the afternoon and found the leak without any problem. He was polite, easy to work with & perfectly on target when it came to locating the leak. We always rely on CPL to find the tough leaks. This post is long overdue. We have been working with CPL since 1995.
Thanks

We hired CPL to come out to our home to locate some underground gas lines for a fire pit and BBQ. We were so happy with the promptness, service, competency and friendliness of the staff sent to our house. The work was spot on with locating the lines, which was such a relief for us. The company really understood our needs and we felt like we were really taken care of and the company was looking out for our best interest. We can't speak highly enough of CPL and would recommend them to anyone needing their services!

First of all I'd like to thank Justin Seip who showed up wearing mask.
Although of his young age he was very professional ,knowledgeable and informative, after he found out where the problem was he answered all our concerns and questions, I highly recommend this company.

Stormie was the customer service person who helped me understand the leak detection process. She was patient, friendly and very informative. Justin was the tech who came out to detect the leak. He was professional, informative, and efficient.

All I can say is WOW! A worst case scenario turned best due to Jose's expertise! Our regular plumber, Arnie, referred us to him to detect a slab leak. Quick, efficient, SO friendly and following all covid guidelines, Jose pinpointed the leak and got us on the road to repair. Thank you so much!

I had a leak on my main and CPL was recommended by Plumbing Plus because the main ran under my driveway. Jose Chacon showed up on time and called prior to coming to my house. He was very professional and very personable to talk to. He identified the leak and where my main was and the depth it was at across my property. Jose recommended some great actions to take when I worked with the plummer. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone and would use again. Thank you for a pleasant experience. I would've rated Jose 10 Stars if I could.

CPL came out to detect a leak on our main water supply line. We would like to thank Jason Carper for locating the leak. He was very professional and we would definitely recommend CPL to others. Marc Nault

I've used them twice because they were recommended highly. Very straight forward and thorough. They spent quite a while at our house so I felt like they didn't rush.

If you're worried (or terrified) that you may have a slab or water leak, look no further and contact CPL.
There were concerns that I might have a slab leak due to high moisture readings under my wooden floors.
After reading the number of positive reviews on Yelp!, I reached out to CPL.
Ruth and Mary Anne we're both very polite and scheduled a same day appointment. I did the two hour detection service for $250. Note: I had a highly reviewed plumber scheduled a couple of hours before CPL and they also recommended CPL.
John came to do the inspection. I can't say enough positive things about him; friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.
He used a number of electronic devices to determine that there wasn't a slab leak (Yay!). He traced out all of water lines and took the time to show me where the lines ran throughout the house.
I'm currently going through a kitchen remodel and I had some additional concerns about my current plumbing (1960s). John addressed all of my million questions and offered suggestions and recommendations on where I can improve my plumbing. Outstanding customer service.
Overall, I felt I got way more than my money's worth.
I hope you don't ever have to detect a water leak but if you do... I highly recommend Cable Pipe and Leak Detection.

We just purchased a house and discovered a slab leak. Most plumbing companies do not do leak detection. We went with CPL because that is all they do. They have no reason to steer you wrong when they are showing you exactly what pipes underground need to be replaced. Jacob came out and found the line with his fancy equipment. Even stayed a few minutes to show me other places in my slab where the lines run. I would recommend Jacob to everyone and CPL as well. Great job!
