An obvious question. This is where the knowledge and skills begin. Plus you need the right equipment since no one can see through floors in order to find a slab leak. We use infrared cameras to pick up variations in heat temperature and highly sensitive listening devices that can pick up the sound of dripping water under the slab.
Devastating is the only word to describe the feelings you experience when you walk into your home to find your home has been flooded by a slab leak or other water leak.

Even if your devastation is not as severe as water running down the stairs from your second floor, you may have found water running out of your garage or water on your kitchen floor, or wet carpet along the wall in the living room, it is important that you jump into recovery mode immediately.

Jaime and Fernando were the best at detecting and repairing a significant gas leak in our house. We tried to schedule leak detection through CPL but they scheduled me days away and said we'd need to call a separate plumber to come out and cap everything before CPL came out. Leak Star came out that SAME DAY! And was able to do it all! Capping, detection, and repair! It took some time but he saw it through and finally found it! Jaime was also available the next day to do the repair. After the repair, he thoroughly tested it it make sure it wasn't leak and held. Being still paranoid, we

Had a major leak in our home, could hear the water running through the pipes but no water was coming out anywhere. Turned out to be a leak under our kitchen slab. I called and talked to Fernando and he sent out Jaime and Francisco that same day. It was a very tough leak to find since our plumbing is complicated with the additions and remodels over the years. Jaime was instrumental in not only locating the leak, but fixed it as well. Day 1 they were even willing to stay super late to get the job done, but I suggested to just come back the following day. They were both back in the morning and successfully

Critical: Professionalism
On our way to burry my grandfather, we we’re driving in precession, one of their drivers cut off the vehicle that my grieving grandmother was in, he cut right into our line and flipped off my grandmother as he drove off. Very disrespectful to a grieving widow and family at such a hard time for us. I would never recommend this place.

I called Leak Star after looking at four other leak detection companies, and am I glad I did! I left a message that I suspected we had a slab leak, and Fernando called me back within ten minutes. He said he could have someone come by around 10:30. Michael and Matthew arrived on time. After listening to my description of the problem, they explained what needed to be done and how much it would cost. They went right to work. They found we had two slab leaks, one hot water line and a cold water line. They walked me through everything they found, and then explained what needed to be done, and

We had a slab leak on a weekend. Dana came on a Sunday, determined where the leak was, and started the process of drying everything out. This company was professional, worked well with our insurance adjuster and were super easy to work with!! If you are having a slab leak emergency, don't hesitate to call Dana at Leak Star.

Timo and his company are PHENOMENAL. Kind, courteous, generous, patient and they lend a listening ear to their customers. I had a major issue with a gas line and problems I was encountering. He provided his advice and guidance generously and helped me navigate through the decision making process. I would not hesitate for a minute to call and use Leak Star or to refer him to my friends and family. Thanks Timo!

I cannot say enough great things about Timi and this company. We had a significant water leak in our kitchen. He came to our house within an hour and went straight to work. He found the source of our leak within an hour. He was very professional, friendly and hard working. He handled all the leak and water remediation for us. He also helped in showing us damage to the granite, as a result of the leak, that we would have missed that was covered by insurance. I would not hesitate to use Leak Star again if needed. 5 stars well deserved!

Leak Star provided excellent service. They responded to our call quickly, gave us an appointment time, and were on-time. They had the expertise and equipment to do the job correctly. They left our home intact and clean. We were so relieved to finally deal with a company of professionable and knowledgeable contractors. We highly recommend them.

I called Timo on Wednesday and he called me back and set an appointment on Thursday at my lunch break and quoted me and was right on time Friday at 8 in the morning. He worked all day on my leak and was amazing. Hard work and honest and professional doesn't do him justice. He is what everyone hopes for when they have an emergency. Someone who actually cares about you and your situation and makes it better. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a plumber who isn't trying to rip you off and goes above and beyond what he needs to do but does even more.

Timo is simply amazing! We could not be more grateful or pleased with his thoroughness, professionalism, and integrity. Whereas another company told us we needed to have the entire house re-piped for more than $8000.00, Timo told us that was not necessary, and re-piped only the one line that had a break for a fraction of the cost. He saved us thousands of dollars, days of grief and related expense, and solved the problem. We are so grateful that there is an honest and fantastic professional here for us! What a find!!!

We recently found a slab leak from one of our hot water pipes. We called Leak Star to do the repair, and Timo was able to reply quickly to our call and stop by the next day to confirm the type and location of the leak. He explained our options to us, made suggestions, and came and fixed the leak the next day. Timo and Mike rerouted the hot water from the faulty pipe through the walls. They also found and removed some mold from another smaller leak under the upstairs tub. They did a good job in less than the amount of time they had anticipated (about 5 hours). We are very satisfied with their work

Timo is the best plumber I ever used. Friendly and professional. He detected and fixed my slab leak in a very timely fashion, and he spent extra efforts to make sure that the pipe reroute causes as little damage as possible to my home, which impressed me a lot. A lot of plumbers will just cut holes all over the house so it costs them as minimal efforts as possible, but he thought about the customers first. On top of the excellent services he provides, his pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing help!

I called Timo when I noticed a leak in our yard. He was able to stop by at the end of his long day knowing that we were concerned. He informed with updates about his arrival time without me asking. He spent one hour that night, and additional 2 hours a day later helping with our issue. He was extremely thorough, patient, and was only focused on us, rather than thinking about making it to his next appointment. Timo helped us understand how the outside plumbing, drainage, and pool system work, which ultimately led to the detection of the leak. That was very educational for me.
Timo is very fair,

I called Leak Star on a Monday around 11am and spoke to Timo who assured me they could be out to inspect a possible slab leak within a few hours. Sure enough he showed up at 3:30 and after a thorough inspection confrimed the leak and sugggesed we repipe around leak. Fast forward to Tuesday at 12pm and the work is complete. They were extremely neat and and even fixed my kitchen faucet. The best part is that the total cost was a lot less than I anticipated and even at the low end of what Timo had estimated. I would highly recommend Leak Star
if you suspect any type of water leak.

Timo is amazing! He came by right on time and gave me an estimate for my re-pipe work. We were moving, and needed the job done fast and right for our incoming tenants. He really impressed me with his knowledge of the situation. I knew right away that he was more competent than anyone else who bid on the job. He gave me a great price, and the job was done professionally in a timely manner. Five months after the work, the re-pipe is rock solid. Now we have a drainage pipe problem (unrelated to his earlier work) and he's jumping right on it. Responsive, knowledgeable, professional, reliable, reasonable

I had a slab leak coming up in the garage. I was not sure if it was from sprinkler valves outside or where? I called Leak Star about a month ago and spoke with Timo. He spent a lot of time on the phone trying to walk me through the problem. He was waiting for some new equipment so we held off on an appointment.
A few weeks later, I called again. Timo remembered me and came out the following day. Found the problem and scheduled the repair for the next day.
Fixed the problem for the quoted estimate along with some other issues he found.
If I could give Tito 10 stars......I would.

We had a faulty cartridge in our tub faucet, which caused water to continuously flow. We didn't want to waste water for days while waiting for our Home Warranty service call and parts order, so we contacted Timo at Leak Star. He was prompt, courteous, and went the extra mile to solve our problem within two hours of calling him. His price was very reasonable as well.

They are a professional and reliable company, for sure. There was a flood happen at the house on New Year’s Day, and I contacted Leak Star for their assistance because they are a Google certified company. Instantaneously they came to assist with the repairs on plumbing, demolition, and the drying of all walls.  I am highly impressed with the professionalism and great heart of Timo- the manager of Leak Star- with his commitment to complete as much as he could given the Holiday when most of us are off work.  Timo also referred me to the necessary

Timo at Leak Star did our repipe & we could not be more pleased. It just took a couple days & damage to drywall was minimal. Timo kept the water on almost the whole time & we didn't have to move out like our neighbors who's house was a mess for nearly a week & cost 3 times as much & they had to stay in a hotel. Highly recommend Leak Star.
