Recommended Customer Reviews

We had a water pipe leak in our ceiling and called Timo of Leak Star. He responded to our emergency very quickly and was on the job the very next day. He resolved the problem and in the process was very mindful of our newly remodeled bathroom. When the job was completed he cleaned up the area very nicely. He was professional and efficient and I would highly recommend him and his company.

""I had an excellent experience with Leak Star. They are a professional and reliable company, for sure. I had a flood happen in my house on New Year's Day, and I contacted Leak Star for their assistance. Instantaneously they came to assist with the repairs on plumbing, demolition, and the drying of all walls. I am highly impressed with the professionalism and great heart of Timo- the manager of Leak Star- with his commitment to complete as much as he could given the Holiday when most of us are off work. Timo also referred me to the necessary contacts in order to complete the walls and repairs caused by the flood. In addition, his estimations to the insurance company were very reasonable, and there was no debate on anyone's part to complete the process with Leak Star. Thank you Timo and the Leak Star team! Forever a grateful client!""

We were not sure where the leak was in our house, either in the walls or in the slab. Timo found the leak promptly with his equipment. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to seal off the pipe very quickly and in a professional manner. We were glad we had called him and will not hesitate to use him again for any other plumbing needs (which in our old house, will certainly happen again.)

Good work and guidance through whole job of new house construction

Late last Friday, my downstairs neighbor informed me that my water heater was leaking. Saturday morning I did some searching and found Timo. And thank goodness I did! I think poor Timo thought it was just a water heater replacement, because what did I know about water damage, mold and the dissolution of a concrete pad? Thankfully the water heater is out on the balcony in a small closet, otherwise the damage to my unit and my neighbor's would have been much more extensive. As it was, Timo had to help tear out the damaged drywall for both my unit and the neighbors, then brought in equipment to dry out the closet. And then, because he's just a good guy, he found a drywall installer for me (even though that was not his job). And THEN, because the concrete pad literally had turned to sand because of the leak, he mixed and poured a new pad for me. Remember, he's supposed to do plumbing, not construction! But, Timo did it all with professionalism, kindness and as quickly as he could. To top it off, he listened patiently to my random lawyer questions and took a lot of time to walk me through my options and provided me sound advice, on top of stellar service. I would recommend Timo to anyone.

We had questionable slab leak from having warm/hot spots on our travertine floor, therefore my husband called Leak Star on a Monday at 7AM and was provided an estimated quote over the phone. We already knew the price range after speaking with neighbors. Timo who answered the phone call, came out by 9AM that same day to find the leak source inside a wall. He informed us that it was okay to run cold water, but to turn off the hot water source, and to only turn back on the hot water briefly.
Our project was not only to fix the leak, but to re-route the lines which was an all day job that was started the next day at 8AM since it would require 2 members. During the job, they were tidy which was important to me given that I was taking care of a newborn at the time. My husband who is a big DIYer for home projects appreciated Timo's experience and knowledge. We would consider using Leak Star in the future again.

I smelled gas in my laundry room and called Leak Star at about 8:30am. Timo arrived at 10:15am (the promised time) and the leak was fixed by 11:15am including a trip to get a part. Very professional, fast and prompt service! Price was also reasonable compared to other plumbers in my area. I will definitely use Leak Star again.

Timo of Leak Star is very professional and knowledgeable. He is also very trustworthy. He did not try to take advantage of me or my insurance company. Timo of Leak Star definitely knows his stuff. I will definitely recommend his company and I will use him again. Thank you very much Leak Star. You and your staff are awesome.

Timo and his team (Paulo for my job) were awesome. I had a slow drip leak that had probably been there for a bit of time, and called Leak Star on a Friday afternoon (because most emergencies happen on Friday afternoons ;) ). Unfortunately, he was out of town. Despite this, he returned my call and walked me through my problem, and agreed to come out on Monday. This was quicker than any other company I contacted for an estimate. Not only was there a leak, but surrounding mold. They got right to work, cleaned up extremely well, and Timo answered any and all questions I had. He was extremely professional, personable, and vigilant about the fact that I had a child in the house. You can tell he's been at this for a while. Best of all, there was a piece of drywall I was really hoping could be salvaged. I didn't want to bear the expense of remodeling any more than I already had to. With the dryout, the wall was spared and I can take my family to a nice dinner at Taco Bell to celebrate. Thank you Timo and Leak Star! I recommend them without hesitation.
