About us

We are a full service leak detection and water damage restoration company. We specialize in slab leaks, gas leaks, water leaks, irrigation leaks, pool leaks and mold and water damage. We will locate your water leak using the most advanced detection equipment available and then make the needed repairs. If you have sustained water, mold or sewage damage we are qualified to help you clean up and get things dried out quickly. If mold is an issue, we use containment fields to prevent mold spores from spreading through your home. Having water damage happen to your home is very unsettling. Our friendly and qualified staff will be there to help you from the moment we enter your home all the way through working with your insurance company. Water leaks can cause significant damage to your home. If uncared for, rot can become an issue and mold can develop which can pose a significant health risk to your family. Don't ignore the warning signs of a water leak. Higher than expected water bills or water meter running when no water is being used in the home are signs you may have an issue. Usually you know immediately when you have a leak, but on occasion the leak can be coming from what we call a pinhole leak. Those kind of leaks are known to cause mold because they create just enough moisture for mold to set up residence while going unseen on the walls and ceilings of the interior of your home. We are skilled in all areas leak locating, repair and cleanup and have many happy customers in San Diego County. We look forward to having you as another of those who are satisfied by a job well done.

Many of our neighbors were having plumbing leaks, some even had their homes flooded. We decided to repipe before we had a problem. Timo at Leak Star did an excellent job with minimal damage to our home, it only took a couple of days plus it was 1/3 the cost of what our next door neighbor paid for a much smaller house. They even had to go to a hotel for a week, because the dust and mess was so bad. They had to pay for extensive drywall repair & we had a handful of small holes. Timo was very clean & only shut our water off while making final connections. The whole process was relatively painless. I would recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: Repiped our 4 bedroom home

Description of Work: Inspected for water leaks in interior of the house. Came to the house without coverings for dirty shoes and left dirty footprints all over the house. Inspection was cursory. After finding no leaks in water pipes inside the house, was not interested in any other attempts to detect leak. Spent less than an hour, charges very high and report not informative.

Response from Leak Star Advance Leak Detection
I can understand the frustration you must have been feeling on the day our technician came to your home to locate a plumbing leak. We would have loved to have been able to help you resolve your problem. We appreciate your feedback and will re-evaluate how we may be able to better handle situations like this in the future. Having satisfied customers is always our priority and it is important to us that our technicians are respectful of every home they enter. Your carpet was wet and there was already some mud inside of your home. It appeared as if your home had been flooded by the torrential rains we experienced in the 2 days before to our arrival at your home on the 8th making it difficult to not track what was already there around. We specialize in locating plumbing leaks. Our technician spent close to 2 hours looking for a plumbing leak. He was unable to locate any sort of "plumbing related leak" in your home. The water inside of your home was not plumbing related. We offered to help clean up the mud and dry out your home. Understandably you wanted to speak with your insurance company first. That was the last time we heard from you. You never expressed any dis-satisfaction at the time or even later in order for us to try an remedy the matter. When we left, we fully expected to hear back from you as that is how the visit ended. Once again we apologize, we do have a satisfaction guarantee. Your satisfaction is important to us. If you feel a refund is in order, please call so we can discuss it.
