Wanted to add an update here because we ended up needing to call Kyle back over due to expansion of the original leak. The team worked hard to get him over with same day notice as before. Once Kyle thoroughly explained the need to remove some areas of our wall (i was on the fence bc the water damage looked so minimal), he was so careful and precise when pulling off the molding and weather stripping, being sure to not remove more than would be needed to dry out, you would assume he was working on his own home. The second visit was just as thoughtful and knowledgeable as the first and i would even more so recommend this team now! read more

On time, courteous, expert, and good follow-up. Just note that they do not have cameras for drains, but they can check for pressure issues in water supply pipes when the water is off. They also have great integrity -- we had some miscommunication about an aspect of the expected service, so they kindly offered to refund or discount the originally specified cost and honor their word. Recommend for checking leaks that manifest as pressure issues and for doing honest business. read more

Chris came out to assess the origin of a leak in our fountain, which is driven by a free-standing pump. He fully explained everything he was doing and used several processes to test for the source of the leak. He was clearly very knowledgeable and was able to isolate the source of the leak and provided options on how to proceed. I am very pleased with the work he performed; he was professional and polite and knowledgeable. read more

I called Chris regarding leakage concerns at our pool deck and equipment and he was very professional and knowledgeable as we discussed the issue. I explained the urgency relative to the current construction in the area and usage and Chris came out the following morning. A true professional and very detail oriented. Chris has state of the art equipment as knows his business and industry well. After finding specific leaking sources, Chris provided a comprehensive report of all locations and necessary repairs. Highly recommended. Thanks Chris! read more

We have a raised jacuzzi spa that sits about 3 feet above the pool waterline, and dammit if we don't have a massive crack running the full length of one wall. The 1984 style construction features a skinnier-than-code dam wall, and frankly, we've had a gang of tremors over the last 10 years. We first explored a full renovation, but during COVID times (a) everyone charges double, and (b) no one is available for 6 months. It's almost summer in LA! Let's be honest, it's always summer in LA and we need this fixed stat. So we tried the rest, and then we found the best. So Cal Leak Detection answered our call immediately. Chris was super knowledgable on the phone and has an almost decade long experience in the business. We chatted over the phone, FaceTimed to review the damage, and then agreed on a price. Chris was at our house literally 90 minutes later. Equipped with a high-frequency amplified listening device and waterproof microphone, he deftly evaluated not only our spa but the entire pool! Thankfully we only had the one obvious leak at the crack (don't sleep on listening or pressure testing your pipes! we did that years ago before buying the house.) With a chemistry-kit tackle box, Chris set to mixing waterproof epoxy and caulking gel and took care of the obvious crack, but also touched up a few corners here and there. We have replacement tiles and plan to replace the missing ones along the crack this weekend. Within a couple of hours, we were shaking hands and saying goodbye. If you're hemorrhaging cash to the water utility, do yourself a favor: call So Cal Leak Detection and get on the good foot. Thanks Chris! read more

My built in jacuzzi sprung another leak. I contacted So Cal Leak and spoke with Chris. He was able to schedule a technician to come out to see, inspect and access the damage and the fix within a couple of days. Kyle came out. He is friendly, communicative, efficient and had all the testing equipment with him. It took him about a half hour to determine the issue. Even though he had another appointment to get to, he promptly went to buy the proper epoxy material to fix the problem and he came back to fix the issue within the next half hour. So between the inspection fee and the charge to fix the leak, it was reasonable and if I ever have another leaking issue in my jacuzzi, my water fountain or any plumbing issue, I will contact Chris and Kyle at So Cal Leak Detection. read more

From setting up coming out to inspect our leaking pool, to being up front with costs of inspection/leak detection testing Chris was amazing. All my questions were answered and multiple cracks that were pulling water and causing our problem were located and sealed.(He even dealt with me being a little bit of a Holly homeowner asking what he was doing through out because I was curious of how all his test equipment worked ) Hopefully I won't be needing him again but he will definitely be my first call or referral to others if that time comes! Thank you Chris! read more

Chris came out as scheduled and diagnosed the problem within the hour. He was very professional and ran me through the problem my spa was having . I would recommend him to anyone that needs to have a leak checked in their pool read more

If you ever need advice on leaks or water damage, I highly recommend So Cal Leak Detection. I reached out to them, and they were super helpful and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything clearly, from how to spot potential problems to what to do if something goes wrong. It's obvious they know their stuff and really want to help people out. Definitely worth calling if you need any guidance or have questions! read more

Called Chris to detect a slab leak Chris determined it was not a slab leak but had a keen hearing and said he heard a sound in the wall. He cut a small opening in the drywall and bang ! It was a pinhole leak in the copper pipe. He quickly fixed it problem solved. He is amazing! read more

Although the technician that was originally scheduled for the inspection never showed up, the owner showed up promptly on the next day and identified leak near our spa. The service that earned 5 star review was identifying a small gas leak on a newly installed spa heater. Preventing a possible gas explosion always deserves a top rating. read more

Chris came next morning after I called. Did the job quickly, and found the leak after another company could not locate it. Pricing was fair. He was very honest and saved me money. read more

Quick to respond and come the next day for the leak detection. Remediation done 2 days afterwards. Good job.

After dealing with water balance issues for weeks, we thought our pool may have a leak. Chris came out and did an initial assessment and addressed a small leak/crack just below the water line leading to a suction cover. We thought it was fixed but left the autofill off just in case. Turns out the crack was bigger than we first thought, about four feet bigger. Once I note the leak was still there, I call back and we came up with a plan to monitor the situation. Chris followed up both to my initial call back and called when he promised to do so and come back out. When he came back out he further examined the area and jumped right in the pool to seal the crack once he reassessed the area. It was very hard to see give our pebble-tech surface. While the issue was not resolved on the first visit, Chris stuck with me to resolve it, called and showed up as promised and that says a lot these days. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that this issue is resolved, but I know if I call Chris he'll be back. I highly recommend this company. read more

Chris was reliable and awesome!! Detected the leak in our pool pipes had it repaired in no time. Thank you!

Chris came quickly to identify the leakage and it was completed in a professional way. He also helped me to find the cap to block the return line of the pool to stop the water leakage. Thank you, Chris! read more

Chris was fantastic. He picked up the phone on the first ring and took the time to listen to me describe what we were up against. He was quick to provide a rough estimate of what to expect (before even seeing the pool). Most other vendors were reluctant to quote (understandably so) without first first seeing our pool. When I was able to squeeze a hypothetical out of another company, their only service was to completely remodel the pool and spend $5-10k. Chris was able to suggest an alternative fix for a fraction of the cost. Additionally, he took the time to show me how to make similar repairs in the future should new cracks in the surface occur. He's prompt, friendly and honest. I'd highly recommend his services for anyone looking to stop a leak without having to break the bank. read more

I noticed that I was filling my pool constantly and my pool guy suggested that I might have a leak. I found SoCal leak detection through yelp and I thought I would give them a try. Chris was very responsive and was straight to the point. He arrived promptly and was immediately able to find the crack. He even suggested what material I should get but I had him fix the crack. He was very willing to help even if it means losing a chance at making more money. Very honest guy and the work was very well done. I would definitely recommend him for any of your pool leak needs. read more
