He spent much of his time working in South America and Southeast Asia and Asia, working as a contractor and pipe specialist to revitalize underserved areas devastated by catastrophes -- tsunamis, earthquakes, and land shifts.

Having over 30+ years of experience in diverse environments within the construction and plumbing industries, he understood the importance for non-invasive leak detection, as many other approaches were tedious and damaging. Larry and his wife have since relocated to Southern California to be with their family, and consequently -- Fisheye Leak Detection came to life.

We needed to respond to a message from the City about apparent excess water usage at our property. Larry was prompt, and explained the situation in an understandable way. His price was very fair. He'll definitely be my go-to guy next time I need leak detection.

The City of SB notified of us excess water usage, so we called Fisheye Leak Detection. Larry and his staff were quick to respond. Larry came out that afternoon, found the leak in the irrigation system, and fixed the issue. We highly recommend Larry and Fisheye for any leak problems that you may encounter.

Thanks!

Can't give enough stars for these guys!
Got a visit from the gas company about a leaky line and got shut off on a Tuesday evening. Not fun when you have 3 small kids and no hot water!

Left a message for Larry and he was at my house first thing the following morning, he did some inspection, found the issue ( which meant replacing an awkward length of gas line under my driveway). He quoted it pretty much on the spot, the price was very fair for the work involved. He explained everything and laid out what the issues and possible pitfalls were.

His son came out the following day and got the new line laid in a few hours, no digging of the driveway required! The job was exceptionally clean and fast and done to the highest standards (I have a family background in construction and know good work when I see it).

Gas company were back out a few hours later (Thursday) and gas service was back up and running. The gas company tech even commented on how good the quality of the work was.

Hot water (and stove and heating) restored within 48 hours of being shut off, considering the amount of work that had to be done, that's a damn fine turn around time. Kids fed an clean again.

Can't praise these guys highly enough and would have no hesitation in recommending them for any gas or water job in the future!

SoCal Gas informed us that we had a gas leak. We had a plumber out who identified that it was not in the house but in the line going to our pool heater. He said we needed to get a leak detection company to find it. We talked to a couple. All except Fisheye gave us times of more than two weeks to schedule the work. Larry of Fisheye was very professional and very responsive. He came to our home within a day and found the leak within an hour by pressurizing the line with hydrogen. He also offered to fix the leak by replacing the line with a new one, but the bid seemed high, so I decided to get some other bids from some other plumbers. We ended up just patching the old line where the leak was found.
I recommend Fisheye for there rapid and accurate work.

IMO nothing's worse than having to spend a gang of money on an underground pipe, but when you get a notice from the city that your water meters spinning out-of-control, you have to deal with it ASAP. I had a few different people trying to figure out the source of the problem, then I called Larry based on his YELP reviews and proximity. He came over the same day and while the news he delivered was pretty grim, he scheduled the work to be done quickly & efficiently. His son Josh led a crew of guys who trenched UNDER a flagstone patio, through my neighbor's yard to the meter, a block away. And while I can think of loads of other things I'd have preferred to spend that cash on, I'm super grateful to Josh & Larry for sticking to their word and getting the job done without drama, upcharging, destroying my patio or any other shenanigans. On time, efficient, left my yard in better shape than when they started. 5 stars for sure!!

I had a total emergency repair needed on my toilet. Larry Fish (owner) responded immediately to my call and came out first thing the following morning, despite having a packed schedule. He repaired my toilet in minutes. Both he and his wife were super pleasant and professional. I definitely recommend their services and will use them again if need be.

Our pool service company Pure Aquatic Solutions referred us to Larry to help find the leak in our pool. He was very responsive and professional not only did he find the leak but he also found a cost effective repair for us to do to keep our pool operating. I would highly recommend him anytime you need leak detection on any type of water feature.

I called Fisheye Leak Detection Services here in Santa Barbara earlier this week after noticing a leak coming from behind the back of our house. Larry Fish, owner and Josh Fish were on time, very professional, friendly and quick to find the source of the leak. They provided a simple and straightforward quote for repair and came back within the next few days in order to repair and fix the existing leak. I was extremely pleased with their quick response, knowledge and efficient service. I highly recommended them.
