We assist pest control companies all the time! We specialize in drain systems and have a high probability of success.You can either meet us on-site or wait to see a copy of our report/video. 

Smoke test in pipe

What to expect of smoke testing?

If you happen to know where the main cleanout is located, then great! Otherwise, we will have to locate it or find an area within the system for a plumber to install one. It’s important that we have proper access to the main cleanout to isolate the system.

How does our inspection help you move forward?

We diagnose, locate, and mark the areas for you with flags, tape, and/or spray paint. We find the direction of the drain system, depth, and compromises within the system and the plumbing contractor of your choice will complete the re-route and/or repair work.

10 STARS... Kyle came out the same day we called. He is extremely knowledgeable, very kind and very professional. He found EXACTLY where the leak was, under our tile floor, and carefully took the exact tile out. He escavated under the slab and clamped the leak off so that we can use our water until the plumber is able to come make the full repair. Then he cleaned everything up so neatly and didn't make a mess at all. I'm actually surprised at how exact and precise he was in finding the pin-point spot of the leak. We are just so pleased with Sleuth Inc. and so thankful that they have such a... wonderful, knowledgeable young man as Kyle Roberts working for their company. We HIGHLY recommend them... and if you're in the Sarasota or Manatee area, ask for Kyle.read more

We have been dealing with sewer gas smells for several years in our lower level apartment. We completely renovated it after Hurricane Ian and although it looks beautiful, it smells terrible.Marty was able to pinpoint the source of the gas. It really did take some sleuthing and he didn't quit until all aspects, potential sources and theories were exhausted. We have a plumber scheduled to make the repairs. If I could give more stars I would.

My insurance company had Travis Crabtree with American Leak Detection come to my home to check and see if I had any leaks, Travis concluded in his report that I did not have any leaks. Travis stated that all my issues are from wear and tear, I requested that Travis go through my crawl space to check if any of the pipes were leaking under the house, and he told me that he does not need to do that because my outside pressure test was fine. I called Sleuth Leak Detection and Jay Blizzard came out and went through the crawlspace under my house and found two leaks. If American Leak Detection would... have been as thorough as Jay, then my leak would have been discovered and repaired already. Jay was very professional and took the time to everywhere to ascertain why I was having the issues and took the time to explain how and why my issues are happening. I will be using Sleuth if I have any need for leak detection services in the future.Brianread more

Great service. Ryan met me very early in the morning, quickly found the leak under the slab and with his help was able to get the office up and running by noon. Very professional and assisted me in getting the repair service out immediately. Would recommend using Ryan with Sleuth if you ever have the unfortunate need for this service.

I was able to get an appointment very quickly for a possible under slab leak. Phillip, the field technician, called and gave precise times of when he would be on property. He was very thorough and able to find the leak which was in several areas, but thankfully, not under the slab.Wry professional and I highly recommend.

We experienced higher than normal water bill and had a plumber in to do other work. He shut the water off and said the meter was still running! Leak somewhere. Turns out leak was between house and meter and Bobby Johnston came out, located problem and made a temporary fix. Highly recommend this company and Bobby.Thank you.

Ryan (with Sleuth) came out to a job for me in Naples. He seemed very knowledgeable and educated in his task. He never spoke in a way that was difficult for the homeowner to understand and was willing to answer questions either of us had regarding his procedures. I would definitely use Sleuth again. They weee actually suggested by a co-worker in another department.

I want to thank Matt for doing an outstanding job in helping me find my hot water leak underneath the pavers outside the main living area. then I called ross plumbing, from Leesburg, Florida, and when Jonathan dug down, he discovered that the hot water line had never been glued into the t- fitting, going to a sink in our Casita. So much for the quality of work by the original plumbers!!!. Call Sleuth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend recommended Sleuth to me and said they were honest and reliable. He was absolutely correct.The technicians name Is Bob and he is fantastic! Showed up right on time, broke everything down into layman‘s terms, explained my options, And made sure I understood everything before he left. He couldn’t have been more professional and friendly as well.Based on Bob’s professional demeanor, and the company as well, I would give them the highest recommendation possible.
