    Shlomi identifies the leak and line path. I provided the patriotic marking flags.
    Mark B.

    I noticed the sound of water in our pipes, even though all the fixtures were off. The following day it was confirmed by a notification from the city of excess water use and a leak likely at my property. Over the phone, my regular plumber walked me through identifying where it might be coming from. We ultimately isolated it to the backyard line feeding my garage from the house. Rather than dig all over the place for the problem, my plumber suggested I hire a "leak detection" service, with non-invasive equipment he didn't carry. His recommendation wasn't available until the following afternoon, so I called The Waterboys. They answered right away, were super-nice on the phone and were able to come out first thing in the morning. Shlomi, the tech, arrived promptly. He didn't hesitate to get right to work. He was very personable, and explained things as he went. He photographed everything during the process, suited up and identified my lines in the crawl space to be sure what was feeding the backyard, and then went to work tracing the pipes in my yard. He identified a set of galvanized pipes and separate main PVC feeding my sprinkler valves. He mapped the metal pipes, but their equipment can not identify the PVC path, just if it was leaking. It wasn't. He proceeded to dig up a small section of my yard identifying the leak in my cold galvanized line feeding my garage. The only thing I wish they did was carry small flags for marking lines in the earth. I mean, in addition to marking a leak location, they map out line paths. It should be part of their kit. Shlomi had nothing to mark the path of the pipes he was identifying. We started improvising, and then I remembered I had a handful of small 4th of July flags around, which worked perfectly. I almost docked a star for this, but they were SO good otherwise, we'll just chalk it up to constructive criticism. In the future, I hope they make an investment in some marking flags and carry some painters tape for marking interiors and hard exterior surfaces. It would make an already tight operation even tighter! (UPDATE: Within 3 days of posting this Shlomi texted me they now had custom flags in their kit!) The whole process took about 1hr and 45 mins. Shlomi had no problems getting his hands dirty and was a pleasure to have around. Thanks The Waterboy Leak Detection!

    After repair

    I had a water leak below my driveway and unfortunately I had already busted up a few sections of it before I called the Waterboy leak detection service. Will came out and found the leak within an hour! It was amazing to see someone use such modern technological tools to pinpoint a leak 18 inches deep and below concrete! Thanks a bunch! Just wish I had called them sooner!

    I knew I had a leak in the house, but the first plumber I called was not able to locate and…read moreidentify the source of the leak. I then called Sherlock and that turned out to be a great decision, because they not only quickly found the leak (under the house), but also resolved the problem! I was able to get a quick next day appointment with Sherlock, Ron came out and I'm telling you he found the leak in record time, a true specialist! He then clearly explained some options for resolving the problem and mentioned their company also fixes leak issues. I decided to hire them again to stop the leak and do some pipe rerouting work. The second appointment was also quickly scheduled, and this time Ron brought his partner Amit for the resolution work. Both Ron and Amit and very knowledgeable and professional, they both demonstrated strong problem solving skills and they work very well together...that in itself was a nice thing to see! Both Ron and Amit provide ideas for solutions that will have minimal damage and be cost effective, which made where to reroute the water line a less stressful decision for me. Like I mentioned above, a major advantage in going with Sherlock is they not only identify the leak source, but they also fix problem. They are skilled and equipped to deal with anything from start to finish, which is very efficient and ideal for the client. Overall my experience with Sherlock was totally great, they identified and solved my problem very professionally, and saved me from a lot of additional stress and cost. Based on my experience working with Ron and Amit, I highly recommend Sherlock for leak detection and resolution and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends. If you suspect or know you have a pipe leak, save your time and money and just call Sherlock and they will get it done for you! A BIG THANK YOU to Ron and Amit for the outstanding work and service they provided...very highly appreciated, thanks a lot guys!!

    I got Ron's contact information for an unknown leak in our house and he came to the house…read moreimmediately and worked with us to troubleshoot where we though the leak was coming from and the appropriate next steps. He worked with us to find a leak remediation company who was immediately responsive. These are all of the normal things you would expect. Where Ron and Sherlock went above and beyond is continuing to follow up with me and coming out to my house two more times when we could not easily remediate the problem. Ron and the Sherlock team care deeply for their customers and I could not recommend them any more!
