Jay and Brian came out today to find an elusive leak that has haunted us for over a year. They were both very professional and helpful in explaining everything. This is the second time Sleuth has been to the house so kind of skeptical to have them come again. To my surprise, he quickly found the leak-the same leak they found on the first visit! He took me through his process and actually showed me how the leak occurs (only during showers) and the simple fix of sealant around the escutcheon plate. Hoping this simple fix will remedy our problem! 🤞thank you Jay!

I highly recommend Sleuth Leak Detection! Even though they’re based in Bradenton, they came all the way out to Port Charlotte and did an outstanding job. They found a slab leak quickly and with incredible accuracy. The team was professional, efficient, and respectful of my home. After finishing the work, they cleaned up everything—swept, picked up, and left the area spotless. The quality of their work was excellent from start to finish. Definitely a company you can trust!

John arrived on time, and did a very thorough inspection ( both inside and outside) to locate the source of the water intrusion at my home. He showed my the issues, and explained everything well. The follow up report included photos and explained the problems that needed to be fixed. I highly recommend Sleuth if you have water or moisture issues at your home.
Jason S.
Jay B. Was outstanding. His explanation and knowledge was impressive. It was important to him that we fully understood the issue he was called to identify before he departed. Highly recommend Sleuth!

Phillip Eddy came to my home in Venice Florida and found my leak. He was very thorough and I was pleased with his service
Kalese C.
My plumber recommended to call them so we didn't have to cut a hole in the wall. Caller on Monday and by Wednesdays Matthew was here. He was super professional, and nice. Explained everything and answered all my questions.

Update: Leak wasn't what was found. It was complicated because our bathroom is under our laundry room(leak in bathroom). Sleuth said it was coming from a hose. Unfortunately it was coming from our roof. So thats a bummer because we thought it was fixed and it caused more damage with hurricane season. Im not changing my rating because of how nice he was, and who would of thought to check the roof. I just wish it would of been explained that it might not be the hose they found especially after several hundred dollars for the leak inspection

John Craciun came this morning to find a water leak. He explained what he would do and proceeded to do it. After turning off water to the toilets he used some fancy electronics to locate the leak (pool toilet)and was done in about 30 minutes. Quick, efficient and effective. Great job; Thanks John!

Jessenia S.
I can't recommend Shawn from Sleuth enough! He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. We had a stubborn leak that several others couldn’t pinpoint, but Shawn came in with the right tools, a great attitude, and quickly found the source with precision. He explained everything clearly. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy and skilled. If you need leak detection done right the first time, Shawn is your guy!
Doris W.
Efficient. Very helpful. Explained as he was going along.
Abundant L.
We are SOOOOO amazed at Technician Brian's thorough work in locating our leak.
We had our pool leak detected about 3 to 4 years ago and I honestly believe it has been leaking this whole time because the last company failed to test the pipes. Brian however was extremely thorough as I watched this Technician. I was super impressed with how focused and determined he was to make sure that he located our leak. We've also seen failed leak detections with water leaks inside the home so I was a little nervous. But Brian did such a good job that not only did he locate the exact area for us to cut into the concrete deck, but the actual leak was centered exactly in the middle of that square that he had taped off. If you want a hassle-free and incredible success rate I would definitely choose Sleuth Leak Detection. Thank you Brian.

Eric came over from Sleuth after the company was recommended to us by our plumber. He was upfront about his work and was very patient with our endless questions. He was able to find the leak quickly and did the repair on it for our plumbers to take over from. I will definitely recommend Sleuth to anyone who asks.
