He did a good job with capping the leak but we have to find someone to reroute the irrigation line, so we need to still finish the job. But, overall, he did a great job! I will say, we wanted to see the source of the leak, which was under the house (where it hooked up to the water main). He ended up cutting the irrigation line in the process, which proceeded to cut off the irrigation to the entire property. So, the problem is still there, but in the meantime its been patched. Also, I did think the pricing was a little high, but I have nothing to compare it to.

I know it sounds easy, but this was a very old shower - from the 50s. This means nothing was standard size and everything needs adjustments to work. Mike kept with it and got everything in good working order.

Starting with our initial contact, Mike Sandvall, (Acme Leak Detection) was patient and professional. I made arrangements for the service on behalf of my sister. Mike patiently listened and accommodated our needs. The service was quickly and efficiently completed to our satisfaction. He did not require that my sister pay for the service at the time of completion, but allowed me to send payment to him. Interaction with Mike was pleasant and simple. We'll definitely contact Acme Leak Detection the next time we need a great plumber.

Great. Mike was responsive to all my questions and even came out a second time to go over his estimate again after I reviewed competing offers. We devised a plan and he worked with me to get the price down to where I was comfortable. Work was completed early and for less money! Can't ask for better service!

Perfect is less than enough in describing the service provided by Acme's plumbing services. Overall great experience, he knows his work and provides a smooth well explained detail of the job with clear details of what needs to be done to make the customer at ease while he finishes the job. I would definitely highly recommend to all for his professionalism, manners, and ease or workmanship. Thanks for all the hard work sir. Worth it and everything is functioning great.

Mike was one of the hardest workers I've ever met. He would not quit until he found the cause of the leak in my back yard and repaired it properly. He came back a few times and kept me updated throughout the whole process. Super professional, trustworthy and very reasonably priced. Also has a warranty on his work! I'll be calling him again for any future plumbing or gas problems with confidence. Thanks again Mike!

He did an excellent job. He came out to work on a Sunday in a 100 plus degree heat. The job was more difficult than he anticipated (due to the condition of the platform the heaters were sitting on) so he spent almost the entire day working, but never adjusted his original price estimate. He's a hard worker, who is honest and goes out of his way to be fair. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. We will call him again, any time we have plumbing-related work that needs to be done.

This was the case. We have an expensive oak parquet floor that had just been refinished over a raised cement entryway slab that runs the length of the room, in addition to porcelain flooring in that room. We elected the option not to destroy all of that and instead they sealed off the leaking pipe and rerouted the pipes from the water heater to the kitchen. This required a lot of work and they both worked hard to get the job done for two days. It involved cutting out panels of drywall in our bathroom, family room and living room walls and ceiling, which they did neatly so that the patches would be neat. They were careful and kept destruction to a minimum. Both Mike and his associate were very capable and nice guys and they did excellent work. Part of this emergency scenario requires interfacing with the insurance company. Mike was professional in dealing with the adjuster and there was no problem with him providing the proper paperwork. We felt at all times that Mike was honest and fair with us and that he took pride in doing the job right and charging us a fair price. That is why he gets great reviews and is constantly busy. I would call him again without hesitation and recommend him for any plumbing work you need.
Description of Work: We had a slab leak. Water was coming up from the floor in our laundry room and kitchen. I researched plumbers and found that Acme had excellent reviews. I called and Mike came out promptly. He attempted to locate the leak, but could not pinpoint with the equipment he had with him (the leak turned out to be under an additional concrete level in the middle of our living room). He came out the next morning with additional equipment and his colleague, another professional plumber as he had determined it was somewhere under our living room and might require a pipe reroute.

He was on time and did a great job. The responsiveness was really good and they were right on time. They were very professional. I did notice after that that my sink was leaking and my garbage disposal didn't work. I got a new garbage disposal and installed it myself, It hasn't leaked ever since.

I called Mike Sandvall, owner of Acme Leak Detection, Inc. on Thursday, 7/23/2015 to schedule the service call, and he arrived, promptly at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, 7/25. (He didn't charge me extra for a weekend call.) He worked efficiently -- moved from one assignment to the other without wasting time; he was thorough, making sure each job was completed and met with my satisfaction. He cleaned up each area where he had worked so that there was nothing more I had to do to make each room (kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry room, and garage) presentable after he left. Mike was also courteous and polite during the entire visit.
Description of Work: replaced a kitchen faucet that I had purchased before his arrival; corrected installation of two toilets installed by others; checked condition of water heater and other pipes and hoses.

Inspected as requested for leaks under an inland sink. None were found but he did find a leak from a water line for the fridge that was not hooked up yet. The shut off was not closing properly. He hooked it up for the new tenant and would not accept anything for it!! I will be using them again!!

Mike came on the dot and promptly worked on the issues we discussed with him and more. He gave sound advice and did not hesitate to tell us in a matter-of-fact attitude how the previous owners of the home we just bought neglected the current plumbing issues. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family and his number is now in our speed dial!
Description of Work: He fixed leaks in one of the toilets and the faucet in one of the tubs. He installed a new faucet sink to replace nonfunctional one. He likewise replaced the old regulator for the water pressure that was busted and adjusted the pressures according to the standard/expected pressures.

Although we were not able to replicate the cause of the leak, Mike performed spot on mortar work to stabilize the tub within the enclosure. Mike is highly recommended. He is fair, professional, and exhibits sound and effective trouble-shooting skills.
Description of Work: Determined that ceiling leak/discoloring was not whirl-tub related and that the tub was set unlevel within the enclosure.

the Process was relatively smooth a combination of electronics and technical knowledge. the electronic equipment put him within 6 inches of this pinhole . He saw cut the stucco ( it'll get dusty) to reveal the leak.He then cut a 4 inch section of pipe and replace it with a new pipe. he retested the pipe. and did not find any other leaks .
Description of Work: Performed leak detection on my home, to pinpoint the location of a leaking copper water line. electronic equipment and along history of plumbing and leak detection put him on the leak. He cut out a minimal amount of stucco to permit him to make the necessary repairson the copper water line. It took about an hour to complete

Mike was awesome! Gave us a great neighbor price and military discount. When I came out in the morning and found my water leaking from the garage he was there to help replace assess damage and even lent us his blower fan to dry out our garage for a few days. I thought for sure it would be an ordeal but he removed , replaced and cleaned up everything before dinner. Excellent service , happy to have this man as a neighbor. He went above and beyond to take care of us. Highly recommend.
