Gary Sonar Bonar

Mike was great, give him a promotion! I've had other plumbers come that weren't much help. But Mike not only helped me discover several areas I wasn't aware were leaking, but noticed my neighbor's water meter was """"rocking"""" and going to charge him a large amount if he didn't get his problem fixed too. Greatly appreciated!

First, I have to say that Gary and his wife are very courteous and seem like fine people. I wish I could have given them four stars, but here is my history with this company. I began to have increasingly larger water bills than usual for the past few months. I called a plumbing company, and they told me that I should call Sonar Bonar to come to my home and find my leak. Afterward, they would come out and repair the leak when it was identified and detected by Bonar Sonar. I called Bonar and they came very quickly, and Gary had all the equipment to do the job of detecting the leak. I live in a senior retirement community of mobile homes and there is crawl area under my home. Mr. Bonar went throughout my home, around the perimeter and then underneath my structure. His sonar detected what he thought was a leak and it was about eight feet under my home. He noted the location on the side of my home with a blue piece of tape for the plumbers to have an idea just where the leak was occurring and where to enter. I paid Mr. Bonar $300 and felt good about the job and confident my problem was solved. The plumbers came out that day and found the leak and did the repair. Then, they noticed my meter was still running with all valves closed inside and outside of my home. Apparently, I still had a leak problem. So, I called Sonar Bonar and told them that the plumbers said I had an additional leak somewhere in my lines. Mrs. Bonar said that her husband would come back out, but, here it comes. It would cost me an additional $300 to find another leak. She said that my initial $300 only covered """"one"""" leak. Apparently, I was not made aware of this when I initially called for their service, for if I was, I would have had to reconsider and find a plumber than can repair and also detect a leak all in one service call. So, I am 79YO and decided that for $300, I would crawl under the home and find the leak myself. Well, I did, and it was about six feet down the line from the first leak that was detected. Plumbers came out and fixed that leak and it seems there is still a small leak somewhere in my system. So, today, I don my old clothes and once again go under my home on a leak detection mission. The main jest of this is to make anyone who hires Bonar Sonar, aware of the """"one leak and done"""", on their visit. If you have more than one leak pay up or do it yourself.

I have a very old home and was contacted by the City of Tampa and advised that I had a leak detected by the meter reader. I was absolutely beside myself on how to move forward petrified of being mishandled by a company regarding the leak in such a old home. I was referred to Sonar Bonar and I cannot say enough about the service of this company. I called and explained my issue to Debbie who was extremely kind. Mike came out the next day. He was extremely professional and taught me so much in a short amount of time about my unique plumbing. I appreciate a company that values their customers and treats them, their homes and leak issues with professionalism and respect.

Moved into the house in Hudson, a month goes by I received a door hanger from the Hudson water department asking for me to call them ASAP. I knew it wasn't a welcome to the area phone call. I have a plumbing background, I knew why they left it. I figured the leak was between the meter and house. It was not obvious anywhere in the yard. And I didn't want to haphazardly dig holes in the yard and waste my time. I called Sonar Bonar in the morning and Chris came out in the pm. Chris is Very professional and friendly. Within 45 mins he found the leak. He dug it up , exposed the pipe and later In the evening I fixed it. Btw when I called the water department They said I used 27000 gallons of water in 29 days. Always take water leaks seriously. Water is a precious resource!

Had an issue with this company with finding a leak. They ended up finding the leak and not charging us for all the work. Great customer service. I would recommend you do business with this company.

This company was hired by my hoa bay island They spend 3 hours completely inspect and clear the unit of any leaks to come back 2 days later and claim overflow gasket leaked though my extenant had not been in the unit for over a week at that point thus no water use and oddly hoa maintenance staff had been hamering on drain pipes day before. Any one else ever file a complaint with the pinellas County contractors board etc against this company?

Today was the second time i used Sonar Bonar, and was again impressed by their highly experienced professionals. In an industry where pricing can seem arbitrary, Sonar Bonar is fair and provides good service.

This company was extremely prompt, efficient, courteous and a joy to work with. I highly recommend this company if you have a leak in your home. Thank you so very much.

Phenomenal! Chris arrived at my home within an hour of my initial phone call to the office. He was pleasant and extremely thorough; he asked permission before cutting into the drywall and found the leak within minutes and clearly marked it for the plumber (even went above and beyond and relayed all of the information to the plumber!). I HIGHLY recommend this company for anyone who needs leak detection!
