Eric,
Was very professional and thorough. He detected our leak right away and put a temporary clamp on it for us. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Eric at Sleuth.

We have used Sleuth detection services previously and have always been pleased. This time was no different. They told us when they would arrive and they were spot on. They also found the leak in a relatively short period of time and we are good to go and get it fixed.

We are in Gainesville. Philip came and found the leak quickly. He was extremely courteous, professional and patched the pipe for the plumber to come tomorrow. He was a lifesaver. This leak was in my elderly mother's house and his manner calmed her fears and put her at ease.

We unfortunately had a slab leak. No water and three kids… Sleuth sent someone out as soon as possible. Phillip was amazing. He let me teen watch and was informative about the whole process. He isolated the leak and opened the floor in no time. Exposing the leak for our plumber and leaving minimal dust with a full clean up of the area. We really appreciate the family nature of this company. Highly recommend!

We were receiving many letters from Sarasota County Utilities regarding our meter constantly running. We discovered that we had a very slow leak of 22 gallons a day. We could not figure out where it was coming from so I called Sleuth. They sent John Cracium, Field Technician, out the next morning. John was very knowledgeable, polite, and just an awesome person. He found the leak within 20 minutes! Luckily it was just a bad outside hose valve - nothing under our slab which I was SO grateful! John kept my husband and I informed every step of the process and taught us many things about valves. He even ran a pressure test to make sure nothing else was wrong with the pipes. John even put on a temporary cap on the valve so that we wouldn't have more leaks until the plumber could replace the valve. We are incredibly grateful for John and Sleuth Leak Detection! It was worth every penny for finally figuring out where that leak was located! Thank you so much!

John is beyond awesome. He found the leak, was able access it through a 12” hole he dug in the linen closet, and apply a temporary fix until the plumbers arrive tomorrow. John is very personable, polite, openly friendly and very efficient. He is a delightful young man and is very good at his job.

Riverwalk Apartments discovered the Leak on Thursday, of last week and after a week of trying to find it and not being Successful. We called Sleuth Leak Detection, and they sent us Ryan. Ryan was here right when he said he was going to be. He called me twice, once to verify that I was going to be here and the other to let me know that he was on the way. He told me exactly what he was going to do, what to expect so I would not be taken off guard with any unnecessary additional damages (there was none), 5 minutes later he called my name and said " I found it" I walked over and found a small but steady Gaiser flowing from my parking Lot. Thank YOU, Ryan and Sleuth Leak Detection from the Riverwalk Apartments.

Unfortunately we had another leak (caused by a different plumber who refused responsibility). We knew just who to call! This time John C. arrived and after careful observation and with as little damage as possible ( John kept apologizing but it had to be done) he found the leak and patched it. The cost was a fraction of the bill we got from Exspress who caused the leak to begin with! As always Sleuth did a fantastic job and has amazing employees. Especially John C.
