Empire Leak Detection
Company Overview
Detecting leaks demands sophisticated equipment such as thermal imaging, electronic sound tracing, electromagnetic pipe locators, Tracer Gas technology, traditional compressed air locators, plus additional methods. Importantly, our detection methods are gentle; we refrain from damaging your ground, wall structures, or landscaping to detect your water leak.
Initially, we operated as a service for contractors only. Through an extensive period of collaboration with many large and small plumbing firms, we identified a significant void in the leak detection field in the Sacramento region and opted to provide our expertise to the public.
Our founder, the individual who manages this business, started his plumbing journey in 2005. John's expertise of plumbing is a great combination for leak detection.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Prompt response and got me an appt right away! John found the problem/leak pretty fast. He didn't waste time upon arriving. I couldn't be happier with his service, and I highly recommend the company! I will definitely be calling again if I ever need their service. Thank you.

John was really quick to respond, he gave me a price quote upfront, detected the sources of our leaks and recommended a roofer to help repair. He was friendly, he explained each step as he went along, documented everything and sent me the documentation. Highly recommend!

John with Empire Leak Detection was amazing! Quick to respond, quick to find the leak! Professional, timely and very detail oriented. He drove out of his way to get to us and we were super appreciative. It was an outside leak for us that affected our well and pump. He even offered up referrals to get it serviced. Thank you John!

Had a leak in the bathroom and John came out detected the leak right away and saved us 1000s in water damage. So professional

We had an interior leak in our two story house over the holidays. There had been a previous leak in the same area caused by a freezing a/c coil in the attic, which ran down the plumbing lines into the first floor. This time, it appeared be a leak somewhere in the water or drain lines. John's detection equipment was out for repair, but he gave us some advice on how to isolate the leak, as well as a referral to a responsible, responsive plumber in our area. We were able to track it down quickly and get the plumber out to repair our copper piping. Really appreciate John's friendly, free advice and the referral.

Empire Leak Detection was great. We had a visit from the city water guy telling us we had a leak on our property, somewhere. We have over 300 feet between our house and the street. John was great. Showed up on time. Very knowledgeable. Checked our pipes three different ways with a bunch of different technology I haven't seen before. He was able to narrow down the location of the leak so we were able to address it without guessing. I highly recommend Empire Leak Detection especially John. He went above and beyond.
