John Bauer came out and did a survey to find a broken hot water leak under my slab. Found it no problem and was able to mark it and the manifolds for the plumbers.

I called this company after several plumbing guy recommended them, because they are the only guy to do the leaking testing around. They asked my credit card information even before anything. I know they charge a lot of money so I am prepared for it. But the bad thing is that I told the office that they need to be on the roof that is over 22'. And before the guy came to my place I told him again that he need have his long ladder so he can get to the roof top. He did not say anything. Then he came, and then they Called me from the office saying that he cannot get on the top of the roof unless I have a mechanic lifter that lift him to that top of the roof. They do not have a ladder and even I provide the ladder they won't go on to the roof because they do not have the insurance. And the will charge me $250 per hour to do the test, and $250 per pound of some kind of gas, and the cost of the lifter, Which means all would cost me over $1000 easily just to find the leaking or may not find any leaking. And because of the pressure they would apply to the pipe which may create more leaking.

At the end they did not do anything and charged me $100 trip charge. I wonder why don't they tell me up front they will not go on the roof even they had so many opportunities before they came to my place? Just for the $100 easy money from me and doing nothing? And wondering they are in this kind of business, why not have the insurance that is needed for their job?

Conclusion is: this is not a good company and never hire them

You hear a dripping or tapping sound, warm concrete slab, wet drywall or flooring. Don't panic, just call CPL. Before you go crazy and call plumbers or an insurance company if you feel that you have a leak go and shut your water off. It is most likely located in the garage or side of your home... Turn the handle slowing. If that doesn't work there is a shut off at the street. You may also have to open your faucets on the second and bottom floor to drain all the water out of the system if you have an active leak. By the way... I am not a licensed contractor or plumber. I am a real estate broker who has had plumbing issues before. Now... Back to the review. CPL will come to your home and conduct a test to find the leak. They are like Ghost Busters of leak detection. Very patient and polite... They will not start cutting drywall open as they have instruments and skills to identify the problem. At the very least you will know what to do. My cost has been about $280 per visit and I have used them for clients homes as well. I highly recommend you give them a call and if you don't know where your water shut off is then you should find it and show everyone in the family where it is and how to turn it off. Lastly if you feel you have a leak don't wait to call CPL. They will help you before you call the plumber.

Maryann Pecoraro helped me over the phone. Steven was on site before their promised time. He did a great job, communicated the issue to me extremely well and solved the problem. Thank you!!

I was referred to CPL from a friend who is a plumber. We could smell gas in our backyard but the smell was always in a place where there was no gas equipment.

I was initially shocked by the $250 minimum, but trusted the guy who recommended them. CPL came out and found that we had 2 gas leaks underground. One was under our pool deck and the other was under the grass. The guy was awesome and even marked exactly where the gas lines were around my house so I would know for the future. I had gas lines in places I would have never guessed, even in planters with huge palm trees.

We hired them to locate a leak in our warehouse. They were prompt, and worked diligently to identify the location of the problem. Hopefully, we won't need their services again. I recommend them highly.

I was quoted a different price on the phone, they came out and did a chingus job which took 5 mins of actual inspection and 10 mins of setup/take down, for a grand total of 15 minutes. Then they demanded $250 ($1000/hour)...

I told them to kick rocks, im not going to be bullied, I then offered them the $75 reasonably owed. They are threatening to sue me... But im a lawyer, so the threat doesn't scare me, i know my rights here...

This company tries to bully people (see reviews). I recommend that you call someone else. Read all the reviews and discern the REAL reviews from the FAKE reviews posted by this company and its friends. Real story is these guys are con artists!

Im gonna fight them in Court! Now that I have seen the reviews, i believe its my duty to defend this community against trolls like CPL. Do yourself a favor and call someone else. Dont get ripped off by these jerks.
