Company History

The owner began leak detection work in 2018 and built the business around careful field work. Early jobs in older Berkeley homes taught techniques for tight spaces and complex pipe layouts. Over time, the company added tracer gases and high-sensitivity listening equipment to trucks.

Growth came from repeat customers and referrals. The approach stays practical: find the leak, limit digging, and repair or point clients to trusted plumbers for follow-up work.
