San Diego Leak Detection
Company Overview
Slab leak identification. Plumbing leaks can cause significant damage, leading to expensive bills every day. However, finding the precise location of a leak can be difficult, because moisture can accumulate away from the leak's origin. Besides rising water expenses, water leaks may result in damage to your structure, mold development, as well as damp floors and walls. This can result in health problems later. Locating the leak swiftly is vital. This is where an expert is necessary.
I established this leak detection business in 2001 and I serve as the owner/operator. If you need reliable and cost-effective water slab leak detection, get in touch with me. As the founder of San Diego Leak Detection, I deliver top-notch leak detection services for both residential and commercial clients in San Diego, as well as lower Orange and Riverside Counties in California.
With over 20 years of plumbing experience, I started as a plumber and later decided to start my own leak detection business. I provide same-day services, and I can typically find the source of any water leak on my first visit. Because leaks are often hard to detect, I receive referrals from plumbers who trust my expertise because I have established a reputation as a reliable expert. When the leak is found, if you need a plumber, I can connect you with a trusted repair expert.
Customer satisfaction is my highest priority. I provide consultations over the phone, where I will give you an honest, unbiased assessment on the most effective solutions for your situation. Reach out today if you think you have a leak.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We had Darrell with San Diego Leak Detection come and check out our slab leak and couldn't be happier with his services. Sadly, the copper pipes underneath our house were not salvageable. Darrell visited multiple times to locate the leaks we had (exceptional service). Then, he returned to assist us by locating the existing pipes in the walls so we could re-route them through the attic (above and beyond service). I was floored by his can-do attitude, his generosity, his honesty, and the amount of time he put into the job. We purchased a flipped house that had some renovations, so the original piping was modified to accommodate the new fixtures the flippers had added. It was a challenge, but Darrell located the pipes for us! He even offered to answer any questions we had as we began the process to hire plumbers to finish the re-route job. Use Darrell with San Diego Leak Detection for any leak you have. You won't be sorry.

I have nothing but great things to say about Darrell. He returned all my calls promptly, answered all my questions, and helped me understand the process of detection/repairs. He was able to fit us into his schedule, arrive at the condo as promised, and promptly write the report. I hope we will never have a leak in our place again, but if I do, it's great to know Darrell will be there to help.

The inspector was right on time and wrote a full report. I was very impressed with his knowledge and efficiency. I will use this company again, as needed.

I highly recommend Derrel. His communication was prompt, he showed up as committed, his prices were fair, and his work was excellent.

I called this gentleman and he provided me with his detection analysis over the phone that helped me to resolve my water leak for free.

Darrell is the most fantastic leak detection person. He was so helpful immediately over the phone; he figured out where the leak was and told us who to call for the next step. He is amazing and gives you a lot of information for no charge. He isn't like the businesses who just want to make money. I would definitely call him again. This is the place to start.

Darrell was very helpful and I couldn't be more pleased with his service. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and I would definitely use him again if I ever have any concerns about leaks in my house.

Late last week, we discovered that we had a leak from our irrigation system and turned off the system but there was so much water in the soil that it was still draining off into a neighbor's yard and we couldn't be sure that we had done enough. We called San Diego Leak Detection over the weekend hoping to leave a message so we would get their attention early Monday morning. I was surprised that the owner, Derrel, answer the call, listened to my tale of woe and said he would come the next morning -- today -- to check out the problem. He arrived here exactly when he said he would, walked the entire property with me, checking all the valves, so that we were able to come to some conclusions. Because we were unable to close several gate valves, there is still work to be done to fully address the problem. Darrel recommended an irrigation company we called immediately to start repairs. It was a very successful experience and Darrel even took time to check everything in the house as well to make sure we weren't having problems there, too. It was outside the scope of our original call and the obvious problems so I really appreciated the extra effort. I highly recommend him.

What a great guy! Over the phone, he patiently talked me through isolating the source of the leak problem that had tripled my water bill. Because no site visit was needed (I now can fix the problem without further assistance), I offered to pay him for the time he spent helping me out. But he wouldn't let me. He obviously knows his stuff and is trustworthy, so if he tells you that he needs to come out, you can believe him. My thanks!

Had Darrell out yesterday to find a leak since my last two water bills have been astronomical. Thought it was irrigation leak. Nope. Darrell quickly determined it was a hot water leak in the slab. Told me what the plumbers would have to do. Not looking forward to it, but it's far better to know.
Very punctual. Came the next day on time. Awesome to work with. Hopefully I don't need this service again, but if I do, I'll come here.
