Great guy. Came out quickly and helped me with a potential water line leak issue. Super service! Will use him again if and when the need is there.

The owner was knowledgeable and professional. He found my leak - and the cost for the service was reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again if I needed to.
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…
Issac did a fantastic job accurately locating a leak under my driveway that surely expedited the repair.
Amazing, quick, reasonable and spot on! X marks the spot. Beware plumbers will just outsource to Action to find the leak so you might as well start with them.
Issac is great! Upfront price and good service! You want to know where is the leak at! He is the guy
Isaac found the leak in record time after a quick inspection. He was very responsive via text and made time to come over the same day I called. He also provided advise on how to temporarily fix the leak until I could get a plumber. Outstanding

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
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

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

Action Leak Detection
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!
- Price assessment: Reasonable price
- Price: $600–800
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.
