It was Friday afternoon and the Gas Company had just shut off my gas due to a "massive gas leak" somewhere in my yard. I was calling every plumber I could find and having no luck at getting anyone who could come over in less than a week. Finally one of the larger plumbing companies I called gave me the number for Fisheye Leak Detection, as fixing the gas leak was impossible without knowing precisely where the gas was leaking in the first place. I called the number for FishEye and spoke directly with the owner Larry Fish. He listened and understood my dilemma and told me he was hours away from being able to come over but would be at my house by 5:00 pm. Don't forget this was Friday afternoon! Larry arrived around 5:00 pm just like he promised, with a very large van which was thoroughly packed with equipment. I was very impressed with how organized and well laid out his tools and gear was in that van. Larry greeted me and proceeded to track down the leak by using hydrogen gas and an electronic gas "sniffer". He soon found the leak and marked the spot with yellow spray paint just as the sun was getting low. We called it a day. Saturday, I was lucky that my landscaper was available to remove the soil around where Larry had marked. It turned out that the gas line had been damaged decades ago when the previous homeowner put in terracing on the hillside. Holes had been dug in the hillside and vertical galvanized pipes set in cement, with one of them directly on top of the buried gas line. There were cuts into the gas line from a shovel that went partially through the gas line wall! Nice. To make matters worse the pipe and cement sat directly on the cut area of the line. Larry came back first thing Monday morning to verify and determine the best way to proceed, then he went to pickup a few couplers and returned to make the repair. I was impressed with the technique Larry used to splice in a few feet of new poly gas line. Larry used a specialized tool that melts the ends of the coupler and gas line to permanently weld them together! No mechanical couplers that I would worry about coming loose and leaking gas again in the future. I was impressed with Larry's knowledge and ability to solve my problem. That is what really matters when it comes down to it. When I need help, I need help right away not in some days or weeks in the future. Larry came through and now I've got my gas back on again Monday noon time. I will definitely be calling Fisheye Leak Detection for future plumbing work. read more

Larry Fish and his son were fantastic to deal with. Larry is the owner/operator of the service. They were very punctual in showing up at our rental property to investigate what appeared to be a leak in the main line that serves the irrigation system. They advised us on the next steps to be taken to determine if there indeed was a leak in that line by notifying our tenants that their water would be shut off for a short period of time the next day to isolate the interior water usage from the irrigation system. This led to the conclusion that the leak was most likely caused by one of the solenoid valves not shutting down completely at one point and allowing water to leak over the large area of the lawn which it had done. Although the problem was solved without the need for the hydrogen leak detection process, my experience with Larry and his friendly help would make me use him any time in the future that I had a problem with a leak or suspected leak. Since I was referred to Larry by our property management company, South Coast Realty of Goleta, I made sure that they knew how pleased I was with my experience with Fisheye Leak Detection Company. I have absolutely no problem in giving Larry's company five stars. read more

Our neighbor's landscaper knocked on our door last week to inform us we had a leak somewhere on our hill which had seriously flooded the yard he was working on below us. In near hysteria, as it was 2 days before Thanksgiving, I called Larry on referral from our plumber. He immediately responded to let me know what to do before he could schedule us. He came exactly when he said he would and explained everything to us before he began work. He found the leak in less than 5 minutes. He and his son worked tirelessly to dig up the break in the line and repair it, which was not an easy job as much of our yard is solid Santa Barbara adobe. It was amazing to watch them work and a relief to know the break was fixed as it should be. The next day Larry came back to make sure things were good and carefully put the dirt and railroad tie walkway back so the area looked as it did before they began work. He also advised us about putting a Flume on our water meter to keep track of the water being used so we won't have another disaster as we did this time. We would definitely recommend him because of his great work ethic, honesty, and knowledge. read more

Honestly, this could be the best experience we have ever had with plumbing services. Larry, owner of Fisheye, couldn't have been more communicative, forthright and knowledgeable. We had an unknown leak that many others passed on due to the difficulty and land size. Not Larry and his son. They took it as a challenge and most importantly for us, they treated our anxiety and frustration as if this was their problem as well. At no point during our experience (from start to finish) did I ever feel Larry was trying to purposely increase the bill by using unnecessary labor and/or overcharging for materials. I will be highly recommending all Homeowners Associations and residences to use Fisheye Leak Detection and Larry will be my first call on any issue involving plumbing in general. -Daniel (Manager of San Antonio Village) read more

My pool service company determined I had a slab leak under the cement within about 2 feet of my pool. Their recommendation was Fish Eye Leak Detection. I called and they came out the next business day! They determined there was a leak and where it was. The price quoted was fair and they immediately started to saw cut, jackhammer and remove the cement. I had to go to work, however Larry called to tell me all was finished and proceeded to text me pictures. I was amazed at how fast they completed the work and cleaned up the mess created by the cement and mud! Both Larry and his son, Josh, were pleasant, and focused on the job. As a property manager for 36 years in Isla Vista, I strongly recommend Fish Eye and will be adding them to my property maintenance list! Thanks, Guys!!! read more

Larry and Josh at Fish Eye Leak Detection saved me (and the environment)! We noticed a puddle forming in the street in front of our house... turns our that we had a decent sized hole in the water line between our house and the meter. Larry called and texted me within 10 minutes of leaving a message, arrived at our house within an hour and had the leak detected, and pipe fixed in less than 2 hours from my initial call. They were super polite and helpful, letting me know about services offered through the city to help save on any future issues or to save money of any previous bills. If you come across a leak and need it fixed fast, properly and by two super nice guys... call Fish Eye! read more

Larry has been an absolute lifesaver. He is quick to respond to our panicky texts and phone calls, never fails to discover the problem, and his prices are more than fair. Dealing with the challenges of an older home and an irrigation system that has a mind of its own, we don't know what we would do if we did not have Fisheye to depend upon. To say that Larry goes out of his way to be helpful is an understatement! Working with him continues to be one of the most positive experiences we have had in dealing with any home maintenance specialist. Highly recommend Fisheye whenever you so much as suspect a leak. read more

We were having an issue with a possible leak and were pretty sure that we had found and contained the leak, however wanted to call a professional leak detector to ensure that we did in fact fix the problem. Larry responded quickly to my call and was able to make it out within a few days. Larry and his son were very nice and professional and were able to confirm very quickly that there was no longer a leak. I had called around to several other leak detection companies and Fisheye was by far the lowest cost. I would recommend Fisheye to anyone looking for a leak detector. read more
