I would definitely recommend Fisheye Leak Detection! Larry was luckily able to come right over and helped us figure out what needed to be done and talk us thru options. When we needed a plumber again and he was busy he recommended another great plumber who came and fixed it. Larry is a hardworking, honest and reliable plumber!! read more

My insurance co required that I have a wifi Moen auto water shutoff valve installed by a licensed plumber. Joshua Fish arrived on time, did GREAT work and charged less than a third of what others quoted. He does other plumbing and leak detection as well. Highly recommended! read more

Larry did a great job. Responded quickly. Was able to find where our main waterline was leaking. Did a thorough search to confirm location of leak and confirm there was only one. Reasonably priced. I hope a don't need this again but if I do Larry is the go to guy. read more

They were professional and knowledgeable. They were able to identify the location of the leak so it was worth it.

We had a leak in our irrigation system that we couldn't detect. Our son, who used Larry few times, highly recommended him. Larry came quickly, detected the problem and fixed it. He is very professional, friendly and honest and we highly recommend him. read more

Came out to the house the same day. Josh figured out the problem right away. Quick communication. Fair pricing. 5 stars isn't enough - thank you! read more

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! -Nemo read more

Fisheye leak detection identified a leak in our irrigation system, which involved replacing a valve. We then contracted with them to install a new sub-meter and water flow monitoring device so that any future leaks will not go unnoticed. This work was done professionally, on time, and on budget. Later, Fisheye helped us with an insurance issue by providing written documentation of the work done as requested by our insurer. We will call Fisheye for any future work we need to have done. read more

I can't say enough good things about Fisheye and specifically Larry. Incredibly flexible with my schedule, came out and eased my mind over what I only assumed was an expensive repair, and Larry let me know it was nothing major - an honest company run by an honest owner. Great communication and fantastic service. Thanks again!! read more

Fisheye leak detection was fast, friendly and effective. We appreciated the fast service at a reasonable price for our budget.

All the other great reviews for Larry and his son Joshua are not wrong! These guys are awesome. They found the leak, created a plan and successfully carried it out. Received a comparison quote from another SB plumbing company and was over double what these guys charged. Definitely saving their contact details in my phone for next time. Highly recommend. read more

Josh was super responsive and was able to come over within 30 mins on a Sunday to help detect gas line leak with gas shutoff by gas co. Within 1.5 hours he had identified the leak in a complex house / gas system. Courteous, friendly & professional. Highly recommend for leak detection services. But I know they also do plumbing. read more

I had a massive leak that the City called me about. I had no idea where my meter was or how to fix it and called Fisheye. They were able to find the meter (on another neighbors property) and fix the leak and had my cement driveway patched as well. Friendly biz owner, reliable and fixed my leak quickly. I hope I don't get another leak! But if I do I'm calling fisheye. Laurel read more

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. read more

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! read more

Wow! Great service, fast reply and arrival, solved my clogged kitchen drain with a houseful of guests day after Thanksgiving, so pressure was on. Very professional. Would definitely use them (Josh) again. read more

one of the best companies aroundreappinded to my online request for help!. If I could recommend this company to all of my friends and family. Not everyone who responds listens like this company. THANK YOU!! read more

Don't trust the reviews on Fish Eye Leak Detection, they are probably his friends. We hired Larry to do a leak test on our pool and when he came out to our house he spent around 3 hours and I was charged close to $1,000 and didn't find the leak. What was even more shocking is that there was a 4 foot long crack under the waterfall which was VERY VERY viable especially when he was in the pool looking for leaks. He spent most of his time TALKING and trying to convince me that he needed to do more testing (which in essence means giving him more money). The sad part I'm sure he saw the large crack but took advantage of me and decided not to say or identify the crack until I authorized him to keep looking for the leak. My husband found the leak by just tilting his head under the waterfall and it was extremely visible to the naked eye. And if Larry says he didn't see it, then what kind of professional is he to begin with? See the attached pictures and tell me for yourself if you cannot see the cracks! Be careful using him as he is very dishonest and only cares about taking the most money he can. Ironically, he will spend 30 to 45 mins convincing you of his fees and trying to justify why he charges so much and talking while he is charging you! The other thing you MUST be aware of is Larry will tell you his "man-hour rate" but he doesn't tell you that he will show up with an extra employee and charge you DOUBLE the MAN HOURS! BE AWARE AND BE CAUTIOUS as I do not want anyone to be taken advantage of like what happened to us. We will NEVER use Fish Eye Leak as he is VERY dishonest and please use this review and PROOF OF MY pictures so you can judge for yourself. I feel cheated and hurt by wasting my hard earned money. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I own a large estate in Montecito, and discovered a leak coming from the irrigation. I called Fisheye Leak Detection, and they responded instantly. The next morning, Josh reached out and showed up within minutes. He found the leak in about 10 minutes. Josh was extremely personable and professional. He is bilingual as well, which was very helpful in communicating with my landscaper. This operation is arguably the most efficient and effective I have ever experienced. I would trust Josh and team with any project, no matter how large or complex. True professionals. read more

We recently have experienced huge water bills which the city suspected was coming from a leak somewhere. We figured out it wasn't inside and first called a different leak detection company who came and couldn't find the problem and ultimately never came back to finish the search. Another month, another huge bill. Next came a recommendation from the local irrigation store to call Larry at Fisheye. Such a great choice! Larry and his son came same day I called and found a rather huge leak deep in our irrigation system. He is also a plumber so went above and beyond to replace the main line so there won't be more problems in the future. These guys know what they're talking about and won't leave until they find the problem. They have a big truck so need to leave to get parts etc., I would highly recommend Fisheye for a future problem or for plumbing needs. They were friendly and professional. I trusted them immediately. Larry also made notes to turn in to city to hopefully get some money off my water Bill. read more

Larry and his son at Fish Eye leak detection are the absolute best from Ventura to Santa Barbara! I have used several leak detection companies in the past as a property manager/owner of commercial real estate and nobody compares to fish Eye ! Absolutely honest personable and prompt! It's like your best friend working for you and helping you! I could post 10 stars I would! Give this guy your business you won't regret it I guarantee it you will write the same kind of feedback that I'm posting! Tell him Randy sent you read more

My Plumber called to report he had found water leaking from my SLAB at my rental property. Devastated, I was told to contact a "Leak Detection" Company to have them FIND the leak. The house being over 35 years old, caused me great concern, as it would have been ANYWHERE in the pipes. Larry answered, on a Saturday, and was the most informative and pleasant service person I have encountered in many years. He spent over 20 minutes helping me with the issues at hand, and gave me certain options that were easy to follow. I highly recommend his expertise and honesty. read more

Larry came out to our pool in Goleta in less than 24 hours. All the other contractors were two weeks out. Larry had all the right tools and expertise to locate our pool leak, quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend his services. read more

Owner Larry Fish responded to my house for an irrigation pipe break under my driveway. He was fast, friendly, and very efficient in locating the area of the leak. He also advised me on replacing 33 year old aged galvanized pipe feeding the leak. He is an old school licensed plumber and comes well equipped, ready to work with no B.S. I will definitely use him again without hesitation. Thanks, Larry!! read more

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. read more

Let me start be saying that I have successfully performed my own pool equipment maintenance, modifications and updates since 1974. Recently, I encountered a problem that baffled even me. My pump was "starving" for water and would not "prime." I could tell, from the sight gauges, that the pump was sucking air on the intake side of my system. I tried everything in my bag of tricks and still came up without an indication of where the air leak was located. My home plumber highly recommended Fish Eye Pool Leak detection as the only people to fix this. The owner, Larry, was heavily booked but cut me out a slice of time and came by to analyze the situation. He inspected the Jandy value controlling the input from my pool and spa and said he was 99% sure that it was the problem. Since Jandy claims that their valves are maintenance free I guessed that Larry was wrong. But "against my better judgement" I agreed to let Larry follow his "head." Larry obtained some very inexpensive internal parts, returned to my home, and in no time had the leak fixed. I am in awe of this guy and his deftness. You can't go wrong here !!

We have used Fisheye Leak Detection several times and Larry provides superb, fast, reliable service, at an exceptionally reasonable cost. Beyond that, he explains the problems and solutions patiently and well and is simply a great guy to work with. Who can ask for more? Caution: Do NOT trust any negative reviews on Yelp without knowing full backstory! Rely on the many 5* reviews and trust your own experience; We are certain it will be an excellent one and you will be glad you have Larry to call upon when you have a leak. read more

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!! read more

Very responsive and very helpful! Provided very useful guidance and information. Highly recommend!

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. read more

Larry helped me with a broken water pipe under my front sidewalk last year and I was so happy with his work at that time, that I called him back this year when I had a problem with my water pressure regulator. Larry and Josh came out the very same morning that I called, which was great, because I had a pretty fast leak. They zeroed in on the problem right away and fixed the leak which was inside the wall! They are super friendly and really know their "stuff"! Prices are very reasonable too. When I have another water problem, I know who to call. Thanks guys. :) read more

My husband and I noticed a crack in our kitchen ceiling that seemed discolored, right under our shower drain upstairs, and feared the worst. After seeing a shout out to Fisheye on Nextdoor we called them and Larry answered right away and they arrived same day. Good news: no leak found. Better news: Josh and Larry were prompt, thorough, professional, honest and didn't overcharge. It takes someone who knows what they're doing to determine you DON'T have a leak and why. Have a leak? Think you do?? These are the guys to call. Big thumbs up read more

Fisheye used some nifty equipment to find a challenging water main leak that left me very impressed. Highly recommend!

Wanted to take a minute to share how happy I am with Fisheye for the work they just did in my bathroom. Larry (Lawrence) and his son Josh came to repair a leaky tub faucet, and as per usual they were here when they said they would be and in and out with the work in an hour. Both came with Covid protection masks on, super courteous as always and prepared to knock the work out. I would recommend these guys for any plumbing needs! My definite go to for all my plumbing needs. Thanks Fisheye! read more

I received a huge water bill and needed to quickly identify the area where I had a leak. Larry answered my call immediately on a Friday and arrived at my house as promised on a Saturday morning. He quickly identified the leak in a pipe in my front yard and marked the area. He recommended a plumber to take care of the problem. His recommended plumber arrived a few hours later and fixed the problem the same day. Larry texted a few times to check that everything was ok. Great service! I hope I never need to call him again, but if I have another mysterious leak Larry will be my first call. read more
