Who We Are
A Local Leak Detection Company Serving San Diego County
Quick answer
1st Response Leak Detection is a locally owned and operated leak detection company in San Diego County, California. With more than 15 years in the leak detection industry and California contractor license #1063131, we locate hidden water leaks in homes and commercial properties, provide leak repair and repiping, and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
First Response Leak Detection was founded on the principles of high-quality, prompt leak detection for both residences and businesses. We have made it our mission to be the most available and widely used leak detection company for our San Diego neighbors, which is why we answer the phone around the clock, every day of the year.
Leak detection is what we do first. Hidden leaks under slabs, inside walls, above ceilings and in underground lines are hard to find without the right equipment and experience, and guessing wastes time and money. We use non-invasive tools such as thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, pressure testing and moisture meters to locate a leak before repairs begin, so any opening can be small and targeted.
When a leak is found, we can also handle the next step, from leak repair and sewer line leak repair to plumbing repipes when pipes keep failing.
