Sonar Leak Detection
5 Stars and I would give more stars if it was possible.
First let me state that I am a homeowner, not a construction or plumbing tradesmen. I am... read more not a family member, business associate or friend of Sonar Leak Detection or their technician Jonny. I am a homeowner who was given Jonny's name after trying a national leak detection company. The other company completely failed describing incorrectly a cold water leak in the concrete slab, in a location 10 feet away from where the true location of the leak was later demonstrated. To summarize: Sonar Leak Detection, 5 stars. The other leak detection company, 0 stars.

The short story:
Jonny from Sonar Leak Detection correctly identified the hot water leak and pipe location. Jonny took it upon himself and not at my request to return at no additional cost to me, and identified the leaking pipe location. Jonny took it upon himself to persist and find the leak. I have written this review without his knowledge. I highly recommend him.

The long story:
Through this process, I have learned it is extremely simple to decide between a hot water leak and a cold water leak, by simply turning off the inflow of water to the hot water heater and seeing if the water meter at the street is still spinning. If the water inflow to the hot water heater is off and the leak continues this would mean a cold water leak. If the leak stops it represents a hot water leak. It was clear that our leak was in the hot water line.

I was told about Sonar Leak Detection after trying another company. I had not known of Sonar Leak Detection and have no financial or family relationship to them. The technician Jonny, arrived on time and I was charged a fee that was quoted.

Jonny from Sonar Leak Detection, correctly found the hot water leak under the house concrete slab. He spent considerable time to map out the path of the leaking pipe. This was difficult, as it turns out, due to the thickness of the concrete slab. The 1st day, he left with a general idea of where the leak was, but I could tell he was not pleased with himself. He is friends with a plumber (Miseal at MJ Drain Cleaner) who was hired to fix the leak. Jonny and the plumber, Miseal, continued to talk and think about the situation. Jonny of his own accord called me and volunteered to come back a 2nd time, at no additional cost. The 2nd time he was able to localized the hot water leak which was later fixed by the plumber, Miseal.

There was a leak we couldn't locate the source. Johnny was very thorough and helpful. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Very happy with the service.

Sonar Leak Detection exceeded every expectation when they came to my house after hours to locate a mysterious leak under my fridge. Their technician arrived promptly, armed with advanced equipment... read more and an impressive level of expertise. Patient and methodical, they worked tirelessly, even staying until midnight to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. What could have been a stressful and drawn-out ordeal was handled with professionalism and care. Their dedication to resolving the issue was evident in every detail, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their commitment to customer service. Highly recommend!

Customer service was exceptional. Employee demonstrated knowledge of the situation, and I was sent pictures and videos to share with the plumber.

The absolute best service!!!! I more than highly recommend this company#

Isaiah was respectful, polite, and more importantly, a "Leak Detective". Throughout his whole review of our problem, he went over every conceivable area of concern and eliminated all our... read more potential issues. Talked us thorough each of his processes and showed us what he was doing. Very friendly and answered every question we had, which was a lot. Eliminated all areas of concern and confirmed what the true problem was. Saved us tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Thank you!

We called Sonar Leak Detection regarding a leak in our kitchen. We were so impressed that someone actually answered the call at 11 pm on a Sat nite and scheduled... read more our appointment. Isaiah came this morning right on time. He was so courteous and informed. Isaiah took his time explained everything he was doing and investigating. He quickly found the leak that was due to our dishwasher. We were happy with his service as he was very friendly and thorough.

Great communication and service! Very professional. I highly recommend!

Joniël and Isiah, the leak detection crew, were able to find the source of our leak. They were knowledgeable and had great customer service!

Johnny was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Thanks again.

Jonny did a great job… Very thorough and explained the process and the results… I would highly recommend this company

Jonny and Isaiah were very professional and extremely knowledgeable. They were tremendously honest with us and gave us great advice that saved us a significant amount of money but... read more put nothing additional in their pocket. How refreshing to get that level of honesty and integrity! They will certainly be our first and only call in the future when we have the need. Thank you, Sonar Leak Detection...classy operation!

Very Happy, Jonny came out several months ago and could not pinpoint the leak after spending 3-4 hours. He said he would come back if there was any signs of... read more a leak. Well that day came and he showed up and found the leak as promised! Awesome!!

After reading reviews of leak detection companies, I chose sonar leak detection only on the excellent reviews. I've had a leak in my front yard due to root damage from... read more a large tree & my water bill started to go up monthly !!! two other plumbers came out dug up the yard said they could find the leak, to no avail they did not .
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a young man by the name of Johny professional & knowledgeable made me 100% assured that he would find the leak 30 minutes in he did. I honestly was over the moon excited and happy this truly has been a nightmare for me. The service from this young man is beyond triple AAA plus and a 10 l actually called the company after he left, I needed to make sure he received the praise and accolades that was due of his expertise. I think people don't understand what a good review will do to give them peace of mind and to choose the right company !!
This definitely was the right company for me. I am more than grateful And I'd like to say thank you Johny!

Johnny did an amazing job! He was on time and very neat and professional. We appreciated his patience and expertise with our shower leak.

We had a huge water bill and began the hunt for a leak. After our handyman found no trace inside or out, we had to call a leak detection company.... read more Finding a ridiculous charge for most companies with a huge upfront fee, we found Sonar. Spoke to Johnny and his company Sonar Leak Detection comes out at no charge to find if you have a leak and location - he came out the next day and found nothing leaking currently and that it was something that had passed or a mistake by the water company. He wrote a letter to the water company about this for us. If you have a leak and repair it I have heard the water company will credit you with the bill overage charges.
What a relief. Johnny was bright, respectful, friendly and easy to work with- don’t hesitate to call Sonar immediately when in need. It will solve your water problems efficiently and hopefully save you in many ways.

Johnny Martinez, tech , was on time, professional and friendly . Identified issue quickly

This has to be one of the most professional service companies I’ve had the pleasure to work with in over 45 years of home ownership and would highly recommend. Johnny... read more was on time (even called before he came) and was a true professional from the moment he walked into our house (even putting on plastic booties), until I received his proposal only minutes after he left.
I have a small water stain on a second-floor ceiling close to a second-floor bathroom & air handler-closet, as well as an exterior wall. Johnny spent a good amount of his time assessing the situation (even running a water line test) and reviewing all the options for locating the source of the leak and cost for each. He even went so far as to give suggestions for ways I might be able to locate the source (and save some money) as well as discussing insurance options, all at NO CHARGE.
In short, I would highly recommend Johnny and ‘Sonar Leak Detection’ for his obvious knowledge, professionalism, and business ethics.

Arrived on time. Very professional - they have all the right tools. Experienced - he knew what he was doing. Found a leak that another firm could... read more not.

Great job….on time….great to deal with!

I would highly recommend Sonar to anyone with a leak. They were fast, polite, and, most of all, extremely knowledgeable in this field. I had a difficult leak to track... read more down that I thought was outside. In the end they traced it to a small leak from my RO system that was dripping into the drain pipe, so no external water would have ever been visible. I would have never found this on my own. I was highly impressed by their expertise in this field. For leak detection, they will always be my first call.

Fantastic response time and service from Johnny, who answered my call on a Sunday evening, and who came Monday morning to pinpoint the source of a leak behind a... read more wall non-intrusively, and then do the plumbing repair immediately thereafter with minimal drywall needing to be removed. An expert leak detection company and licensed plumbing service all in one… what more could you ask for…trust me you don’t need to keep looking. You’ve found the company you want to call.

I'm a General Contractor who called Sonar Leak Detection out for my own residence. The technician was very knowledgeable and honest. It turned out that after assessing everything,... read more the tech said I did not need their services. My plumber was onsite and was also very impressed with his knowledge. We will both be recommending Sonar Leak Detection for any leak detection services we come across as Contractors.

Jonny was very thorough, and persistent on locating the leak. Integrity all the way! I would highly recommend for your ext unfortunate leak detection needs.

Professional tech. Knows his onions

Johnny was great! Professional, showed up on time and he found the leak in no time. Very happy with the service. Thank you !!!!!

Could not be more pleased with my experience with Jonny and Sonar Leak Detection. I'd give more stars if I could. I called them on the weekend not expecting them... read more to be open and they answered the phone and gave me an appointment on Monday. Jonny was ahead of schedule but called to make sure that was ok. He was VERY knowledgeable and worked with me to decipher my town's very sparse and unclear billing system and we even spoke to the water department together to get more information. We quickly determined there was nothing wrong with the house and we moved to the sprinkler system where we counted all the sprinkler heads, checked them all, and then did a whole lot of math. He was never in a hurry and was incredibly thorough and diligent. He answered all of my questions patiently and was very honest and transparent. He got to the bottom of my high bill mystery and left me with some contractor recommendations and suggestions for a path forward. I sincerely hope that I do not require another leak detectorist service but if I do I will absolutely give Sonar a call and would recommend them to others. I should also note that their services were more affordable than other agencies I contacted trying to get an appointment. Thank you Jonny and Sonar team for helping me solve this mystery and for giving me peace of mind going forward. Worth every penny 🙂
