These guys are life savers! We had a leak in the main plumbing pipes, called them Tuesday evening, checked it Wednesday afternoon and fixed by Thursday afternoon. They went above and beyond for us and we will most definitely recommend and use their services again. Thank you leak detective.

Cody was great! We had someone out to fix a leak and they couldn't figure out where it was coming from. They wanted $500 just to check if the toilet was leaking. Cody identified the leak quickly and made the repair for far less. Will definitely be calling him in the future.

Fixed a leaky pipe behind shower. Had the lowest quote and no problems since.

Cody was at my house within 30 minutes and had the problem fixed in another 30 for a very reasonable price! Highly recommended!

I could hear water running but could not even begin to know where to look for the leak in order to fix it. That's when a friend gave me Cody's number and said ""He's the best"". He came out right away and told me it was a slab leak under the house. It takes Skill to find a pinhole leak in a pipe buried under 3"" of cement that your house is built on. Cody was spot on. He pinpointed the EXACT location of the leak. It was under my kitchen floor. He is polite, experienced, and a pleasure to do business with. I will definitely call him again for my plumbing needs.

Responsive and reliable. Cody is experienced and always does quality work for a great price. As a property manager I have found it very hard to find a plumber with all these traits, this is our number one vendor! Will recommend 1st Class Leak Detection and Repair all day every day, you won't be dissapointed!

Our 1971 built mid century modern home suffered a leak in a water pipe located under the floor slab in the kitchen. We called a very reputable large leak detection company but they were busy and referred us to 1st Class Leak Detection and Plumbing. Cody came to our house and was very professional. He located the leak through a very organized, scientific process that he explained to us as he proceeded. He also identified the location and routing of the pipes leading to and from the leak location and found a way to access the pipe in a nearby wall then ran a tube from that location through the underground leaking pipe so as to stop the leak without having to tear up the flooring or slab. Cody worked for us well past dinner time to fix our problem. He was very professional, courteous and informative. We are very happy to have found Cody and will use him for all our plumbing needs going forward.

Just bought an older home in Cathedral City. 4 days in and I woke up to water shooting up and out of one of my bathroom walls. Called a large number of plumbers to have a look at the problem. Most of them, when not urging me to have the whole house re-piped (huge expense!), suggested I have the leak detected to at least find the source of the problem. That's when I called on Cody. He was able to come out the same day, assess the problem, find the leak and fix it. This was no ordinary problem either, as the home was built in the 60's and has had a number a weird modifications done to the plumbing. He was professional, calm and a pleasure to work with. Our water was back on the same day and at a more than reasonable price. We highly recommend this business.

Cody Cox was a very knowledgable and expert in his trade, presentable looking tradesmen. Came in with his equipment to find leak and works hand in hand with plumbers. I was so happy and made me at ease that he would detect problem. I had no worries for him to be in my home. Great job and highly recommended if your in need of a pipe leakage problem. The Bulataos

We had a bad water leak coming from our tankless water heater, my friend recommended Cody and he was able to come out the next day. He was very knowledgeable and informed us of all our options. He did the job quickly and did very clean work. He also showed up when he said he would. Friendly and respectful, I would recommend him to anyone.
