Brandt found the water line leak location and depth. He was spot on. He saved us a lot of money and destruction of our yard. Took him 2 hours using helium gas. I highly recommend him.

Brandt was very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable as well as personable. He put my mind at ease right away and stayed in touch until the project was completed. He was reassuring and ultimately saved me a lot of unnecessary aggravation as well as money that did not need to be spent on having more work done than was needed. I would recommend Brandt to anyone needing leak detection services.

Brandt helped us find two separate leaks under the slab foundation of our home. If it weren't for him, plumbers would have had to excavate significantly more of our slab to find the leak, costing us thousands more in repair costs. Brandt not only found the leaks precisely, but provided honestly the best customer service I've ever received. I hate to say it, but he's set the bar so high that I know any future home service calls will be a disappointment in comparison.

His knowledge and experience not only in leak detection, but plumbing in-general helped us to know what to expect when plumbers came in for repair. I honestly don't know where we'd be right now without Brandt!
