Amazing results, cost effective, and very prompt service. I got a "high-water" alert from the city. I contacted Action (ADL) and they came the next morning, found the leak in the middle of the yard on a steep hillside and left it well-marked. My plumbers would never have found it without digging up the whole yard. ALD pinpointed the location. Great service at a great price!

  • Price assessment: Reasonable price
Response from the owner · 2 days ago

Thank you for the great review! We're glad we could get out to you the next morning and pinpoint the leak on that steep hillside in Bellingham, saving you from digging up the whole yard. We appreciate you trusting us after the high-water alert and taking the time to share your experience.

I can’t quite describe how great Isaac was! I feel a little bad for posting this almost a month later. Especially considering that he went way above and beyond to contact me when he was out of town, held up at an airport, no less! He’s more than fair with his prices and goes way out of his way to help. I was getting the runaround with other companies claiming to do leak detection then either cancelling the appointment or eventually telling me they couldn’t do the job. Isaac knows what he’s doing and is honest! You can’t ask for more these days but he actually cares about his customers too. And, he saved me a lot of money! The repair was easy! Finding where without tearing everything apart, not so much! Thanks again, Isaac! James

Thank you for the kind words, and no need to feel bad about the timing! We’re glad Isaac kept in touch even from an airport and found the leak without tearing up your property. Honest pricing and real care for customers is what we’re about. We appreciate you trusting Action Leak Detection here in Arlington.

We noticed our water meter running with NO signs of leaks in our 3-acre yard, or the house. After endless searching I called Action Leak detection; Issac came out the next day. Prompt and on time. he explained the process as I was asking lots of questions, He found our leak right away!! Unfortunately, it was under our asphalt driveway. We would never of suspected!! Talk about a needle in a haystack we could have dug up the whole yard!!! THANKS ISSAC

Response from the owner · a week ago

Thank you for the great review! A running meter with no visible signs is a tough puzzle, especially on 3 acres. We're glad Isaac was on time, answered all your questions, and pinpointed the leak under your driveway so you didn't have to dig up the yard. We appreciate you trusting Action Leak Detection here in Bellingham.

Isaac was great to work with on two levels: very personable and concerned to resolve our situation, and professional in applying his expertise. We were notified by the PUD about our water main break several weeks after it happened, 370,000+ gal. of water, an extremely stressful situation! Isaac was quick to respond and that continued throughout the experience. The line break under the asphalt driveway, with an old slab of concrete one ft deep, and 43" down to an approx. 300 lb boulder over the water line, (culprit in the water line break). It took Isaac less than an hour to pinpoint the break location using his expertise and specialized Sonar equipment; he identified the center of a 4'x4' quadrant as the likely target; amazingly, directly in the center, within 5"!! After I dug out the area by hand, imagine my relief at Isaac's pinpoint accuracy. Forget the water-witching, call Isaac!

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review, and for trusting Isaac with a stressful situation like a 370,000-gallon water main break. Pinpointing a break that precisely through asphalt, concrete, and a boulder, all within an hour, is exactly the kind of accuracy we aim for on every job. We're glad Isaac's responsiveness and expertise made the process easier for you in Arlington, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. And thanks for uploaded the great images.
