I was having some problems with my Water Heater. Turned out to probably just be a bad thermo-coupler. I called Mike on Sunday. He came out on Monday @ the time of the appointment and promptly fixed the problem. He knew what he was doing and was professional in nature and practice.

It went great! Mike called back real fast, was out the next day. When he showed up he quickly found the leaks, told us what was going on, went to the hardware store for parts and then fixed them both. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Located and fixed two leaks that I had. Each leak was in a different upstairs bathroom and was leaking onto the ceiling of the living room underneath. We didn't know where the leaks were, just that we had water spots and some dampness on our ceiling. Mike quickly determined that one leak was from an improperly set drain and that the other leak was cased by a faulty shower water flow diverter. Mike re-installed the drain in one and replaced the tub faucet in the other.

Mike was responsive, punctual and organized - did not keep us waiting ever, either on the phone or in person. He could have charged us $150.00 to repair the 11 year old faucet we have at our kitchen sink, but he was honest and advised us to buy a new one which he would install for $150.00 - which he did two days later. He did not charge us at all for the first visit, at which he also spent considerable time searching and listening for a suspected slab leak, using very sensitive equipment. He was not able to hear any leak sounds, but we do have staining showing through the vinyl flooring. He patiently explained the various options and possibilities to us. Again, he could have started tearing things up and charged us lots of money, but he took a conservative posture. He suggested we remove the affected flooring and examine the damage at that point, then get back to him, which we will do. He cleaned up after the faucet replacement spic and span! The faucet is perfect! We will definitely be calling him for all future plumbing needs - a really nice person, and he seems to know his stuff.
Description of Work: Advised on whether to repair or replace broken kitchen faucet; then replaced it. Also examined and checked laundry bathroom area for possible slab leak.

Mike arrived before the time he said that he would, a first for me. I showed him where the water was leaking where it came into the house. He used his equipment to locate the leak. It turned out that the leak was at the pvc elbow where the main line and riser met. The riser pipe was enclosed in concrete. He had to come back the next day with an electrical jackhammer to break up the concrete and repair the pipe. The cost was 350 which was OK. I didn't have to pay anything ahead of time and got the bill in the mail a week or so later. I will use this vendor again if I need any more plumbing work in Highland California
Description of Work: The provider found a leak in the main water line coming into the house. He fixed the leak.

Response from Acme Leak Detection Inc
Dear [member name removed], In January when we performed a slab leak repair under your vanity, we discovered when removing your bathroom vanity that the walls and floor were wet and that there was water damage to the vanity. After we fixed your leak, we reinstalled the damaged vanity to the best that it could be reinstalled. We installed the water lines, drain lines etc., and told you that we would be more than happy to come back and reinstall everything for free once you have purchased a new vanity. Even though 6 months have passed, we honor our words and are still more than happy to install the plumbing to a new vanity. If you have any questions, please call (951) 660-0445

The company responded quickly to my message and accommodated my request to come to the house to give me the estimate. The company was honest enough to tell me that the leak is not plumbing but was coming from the furnace.
Description of Work: I contacted the company to give me an estimate to find the leak and the cost to repair.

It went great! Mike quickly responded to my email describing the problem of my laminate tiles starting to bubble by the toilet. I couldn't see any visible leak and feared it may be something going on in the adjacent septic tank like a root unseating the toilet bowl. Mike said he would come out and look at everything and if it turned out to be a problem with the septic tank, he wouldn't charge us for the visit. Wow! We set up an appointment for 8am. Mike was promptly on time. Came in, recognized the problem - It was a very slow drip that dropped right into a tile seam and then disappeared - found a loose water connection, tightened things up and he was on his way - NO CHARGE - he said to call him back when we had a real problem. And that we will do!
Description of Work: Tightened toilet water connector.

My daughter noticed that one of the kitchen tiles "squished" under her feet in the kitchen while i was at work on a Friday. The next morning I checked Angie's list and called Acme leak detection to check on the problem (at 100:30 AM). Mike said he would be there between 3-5 although he could not be 100% sure of the time. I told him I would be here all day.'Mike arrived at 2:35, analyzed the problem, and fixed it within an hour, including the time it took for him to purchase the part. He was prompt, professional, and didn't expand the problem into a more expensive one. I asked him to quote me a price on some additional work, was very reasonable on that pricing as well. I have found the plumber I will call if I ever need one in the future!

He is very pleasant and found the leak right away. We are still waiting for the work to be completed becasue they need to do other things first. When I spoke with him and the insurance company to drill into the concrete, but all we needed was a re-route, as far as I am concerned he charged me between 700 to 1000 dollars more than he should have because he did not have to go into. He did not go into the concrete and still charged me like he was going into the cement. I will never use him again.

Response from Acme Leak Detection Inc
We are sorry that you feel that Acme Leak Detection, Inc. has overcharged you. When we arrived at your home we performed a leak detection and pressure test and pinpointed the leaking pipe. The price that we charged you for that service has been an industry standard since the 1990's. When we were determining the most economical solution to your water leak, we not only needed to determine which procedure would be the least expensive not only in our plumbing cost, but also the cost involved in repairing the damage it would take to fix the leak. In your particular case the most economical route was cutting out the bottom shelf of your kitchen cabinet to access the leak and performing a slab leak. The other option would have been a re-route, but that option would have cost more in plumbing fees and would have created extensive damage to the interior of your home. Slab leaks repairs are cheaper than re-routes. The easiest slab leak is one where the location of the leaking pipe is in the middle of the floor and nothing sitting on top of it, that repair runs about $650. The most expensive slab leak would be one in the footing, where it is covered by 2 feet of cement and objects, such as furniture etc. sitting on top of area that would need to be removed, that would run about $1,400. The estimate that we gave you was to cut out the bottom of your kitchen cabinet, jackhammer the cement and fix the leak, patch back concrete and was priced in between the two. When we arrived at your home to perform the slab leak, we found that Service Master had torn out the kitchen cabinet that was above the leaking pipe, along with the kitchen cabinets that were water damaged. Once the other kitchen cabinets were removed there was drywall damage to the wall that would need to be repaired. That made doing a reroute and running lines before the drywall was fixed and new cabinets installed cost effective. We could have still performed the slab leak repair, we could have jack hammered the cement, excavated the dirt and debris, exposing the leak, fixing the pipe with either a $12 repair coupler or small section of new pipe. Then we could have filled the area back up with dirt and patched back the concrete, but we chose the better plumbing option for you. Selecting to do a reroute over a slab leak not only would take more of our time, it would also cost more in parts. We had to find the manifold for the leaking line, cut and cap it off the line, find out what fixtures were effected and were no longer receiving water to them. After discovering that both of your bathrooms adjacent to the kitchen were not receiving water we needed to plan a path for the new pipe and run 2 water lines. We then had to drill holes through all of the wood frames in the wall so we could thread the pipe through to get it to the bathroom water feeds. Instead of purchasing a repair coupler for $12, we now needed to purchase enough copper pipe and fittings to reroute 2 water lines. Since, we quoted you the least expensive option, a slab leak repair, we still honored the price we quoted for you, even though it took longer and we made less on the job. We wanted you to have the best option. When given that option of either going through the cement and having a slab leak repair or bypassing any potential bad piping and choosing a reroute, the reroute is by far the superior choice. Of the two options you did received the better one. A slab leak just repairs the area of pipe that is leaking, it doesn't guarantee that in a few months that the same line won't have a leak a few feet away in a few months. A re-route does, it bypasses the line that was causing problems and guarantees that it will not be an issue further down the line. If you have any questions please all us (951) 660-0445

I appreciated Acme's honesty and professionalism. Instead of talking me into needless repairs, Mike explained that my problem couldn't be a plumbing issue and pointed me to the more likely cause.
Description of Work: Mike responded quickly to a request to locate a leak that was causing a wet spot on the ceiling. He showed me where the interior water lines ran and found they couldn't be the cause of the leak. He also determined that the attic AC lines were not to blame. He suggested I contact a roofer because he suspected the water was coming under some damaged roof tiles.

Mike was great, he was super early to our appointment which was wonderful. He did a thourough check of all our faucets/water lines in our new home to make sure everything was in tact before he turned on the main water valve. He instantly found where the leak was coming from (a bad toilet) so that was great news (no major plumbing fixes!). Mike was professional, very helpful and so nice about answering all of my questions. We will definately use ACME Leak detection in the future and would refer him to our family/ friends.
Description of Work: We just closed escrow on a home that had some previous water damage. We called Mike to come help us determine what had caused the damage.

Detecting where leak was it what required the expertise or I would have been breaking up concrete all over the house. He pinpointed the leak location within 6 inches. Tore up the tile, broke the concrete, repaired the leak, poured new concrete. He does not do tile work but made sure the work area was included within a two tile area. He knows his business! Giving the highest recommendation I could give.
Description of Work: Hot water line break. Had to detect where leak was, break up concrete in laundry room, repair pipe, pour new concrete patch. He completed the job on a Saturday & Sunday within 24 hours at no extra charge. Took a credit card. He was extremely knowledgeable and clean.

Discovered a pipe with a hole in the garage which was causing a flood there and in the courtyard. Also found that I could not turn off the main gate valve to the house because it was defective. Called Acme and Mike was able to arrive before his scheduled time. After several attempts, Mike was not able to turn the City main off, so he had me call the City to turn off the water main. They were prompt to respond (within 30 minutes) . Mike was then able to continue with the repair, although he ran into several glitches due to the old style piping and configuration of the plumbing, and the new fitting he bought broke apart. But, he resolved each problem and was able to take care of every thing in 1 1/2 hours time. I will call on him again when new plumbing issues arise.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced old Gate Valve wIth Ball Valve. Cut out leaking section of 3/4" copper and replcaed with new fittings. Tested operation - All OK . 7 year warranty on the repair. 1 1/2 hour labor/parts included = $225.00 $25.00 discount on labor - Total $225.00

It ended up to be a bigger job than what we thought it would be. The faucet I bought, the size was different so he went to the store but could not get it there. He ended up coming over to do the job twice. He contacted the supplier and they sent us some kind of piece. He did a lot of extra work for me. He was perfect and I already told him that if I had any problem I would call him.

We called on Monday, 6/28 and he was at our house at 1:30 p.m. the same day. We envisioned the worst, tearing out walls, concrete etc. His recommendation put our minds at ease.
Description of Work: The stucco on the west side of the house appeared to have moisture. Acme Leak Detection performed a leak detection and could not detect a leak. He also checked the water meter and determined no water was being used. He recommended a wait and see during the coming months.
