Description
We will come out and find your water line leak. We utilize many methods to find your leak. We have highly sensitive microphones that can hear the water movement through the pipes as well as water coming out of the pipe underground. To verify that we have found the water line leak, we also use helium gas. We pressurize your water line with helium gas and have a detector that works above ground to detect the gas coming out of the water line. There are times we will also listen with the acoustic equipment to listen for the gas escaping out of the water line where the leak is present. Not only do we use helium gas, we also utilize other types of compressed air. When we have located your leak (or if another company has) the water line will need to be repaired or replaced. This means less time taken away from your activities (including work) by hiring multiple companies and multiple different times to find and then repair the leak. There are times were we will have a delay in our repair by having utilities marked, inspections (depending on the location), etc. We are also able to replace a water line. We also specialize in pool leak detection, thermal imaging, smoke testing and backflow assembly testing. Please look at our website for more details.

Had a leak in my water pipe coming from street to my house. He detected the leak underground and had me good to go by the next day. No B.S., clear and to the point.
He is now my go to leak detection guy. Thanks Simon !

No rating, actually. I sent out an email requesting a quote for the replacement of our water mainline, but never rec'd a reply. To be fair, they may never have rec'd my email, but every other company I sent the same email to responded in a timely manner.

We got a notice from utility and realized that we have a leak but could find it. We contacted Simon and he showed up the second day. He demonstrated solid expertise in finding the leak, and explained to us with patience and clarity. He's also kinda humorous and made us less anxious about the situation. Hopefully we will never need to hire him again but will definitely recommend if any friends are in the same situation.
Before Simon even came on-site, he talked through my leak scenario and presented some first steps to take. After following his advice, I then made an appointment for Simon to come out. Simon was professional, and his experience is evident. He detected my leak and kept me informed along the way. I definitely recommend contacting Clearwater Leak Detection first. I did not, and I learned a lesson...but glad I finally connected with Simon.

Simon was outstanding. We have complicated plumbing here in a turn of the century house. He solved the puzzle and found the leak that was causing big problems with our water bill. He explained what he was doing, why and how. He is very professional and courteous. I would recommend him without exception. You will not be disappointed.
I had a leak somewhere between the meter and my house so I called Clearwater to find it. He came out quickly, found the leak in a little under two hours, marked everything off, and gave me a referral to a plumber who could fix it, and his price was fair. The news was bad (I needed a whole new line put in) but that's not his fault!
I had a leak somewhere along a 200 foot line from the meter to the house. Clearwater came out and spent about 30 minutes walking up the line marking its path. Eventually they drew a 4 foot square box and a tot in the middle. He said 'its should be about one foot from the center'. Couldn't have been more accurate. I dug the whole myself, about four feet wide and four feet deep and found the break in the line. It was exactly on center of the leak detection box. Couldn't have been happier not to spend days digging holes and instead dug just in the correct spot. The plumber came out and only charged me $350 to cut and repair the pipe. (other plumbers wanted 3k to fix or 10k to replace the water line) Using Clearwater to locate the break saved me thousands of dollars.
City left a message on my door about a possible water leak. After trying unsuccesfully to find the leak, I looked for a plumber here on Yelp and decided to call a company called Good Plumber and recommended Simon for the leak detection. Spoke with Simon and the next day he was here at my house. He was on time, very nice and would fill you in on what he's doing while checking for the leak. He was done in less than 2 hours. The price was $375, which was reasonable, for a minimum of 2 hours. He was able to find the leak and I ended up calling Good Plumber back who also did a very good job! I will leave them a separate 5-star review as well.
I hope to not have any water leak issues again in the future. But if ever I do, I will definitely call Simon again!

Called to see if they could come out and do backflow testing and they said they are too busy and not accepting new customers. So I guess they are 5 star for existing customers only. 1 star and will never call them again
My water company left a notice on my door that I may possibly have a water leak. Since my bill increased several hundred dollars per month, it was a no brainer. I had a plumber out to try to fix it, but since plumbers do not have the proper equipment to find leaks, it was not much help.
I called Clearwater spoke with Simon who knows his stuff. He came out detected and fixed my outdoor leaks which there were more then one. Having a massive water leak is no fun at all, but unfortunately they do not go away on their own and through time only get worse as does the monthly water bills. Clearwater is not cheap due to the very expensive equipment but that same equipment can pinpoint where the leaks are so they can then be addressed.
Simon the owner is very professional and gets the job done. He takes pride in his work and I trust him to be fair and honest.
If you have a big or small water leak, give him a call. You won't regret it!

Great service. Came faster than any other would and was priced near or lower than a few other quotes. Also recommended some good plumbers for the job.
I will definitely use Clearwater Leak Detection for any future needs. The staff is courteous, knowledgable and professional. I can not say enough positive things about them. I highly recommend them.

After reading consistently 5 star reviews (on Angie's list) for Clearwater Leak Detection and Simon (the owner) I called him. I like that he is the owner, and also does the work (that way the expertise is assured) He was on time, very pleasant to work with, highly skilled and experienced and really knows his stuff. He has multiple methods to check for leaks. He determined I do not have a main line leak (from the meter) via checking psi; using listening device; and checking the meter. He tracked the supply lines and was truly interesting in finding what is going on. He did determine one clear leak source and a solution. Exceptionally talented and honest. You can trust this guy. the real thing
We can't say enough good things about Simon and his crew. We had an underground water leak in our ancient pipes for years, but no one could ever find the cause. Simon did a full investigation, marked the underground pipes from the street to all the different locations around our 1.5 acres, even found the location of a well that we'd heard about but could never locate. The job was done quickly and really well, the crew was very nice to work with, and they even gave us a discount. Two years later, our lowered water bills have more than paid for the cost of the work they did.

Our water bill jumped from $60/mo to $560/mo! We had a leak. I called our water company and they gave me a few tips: Dye in the toilet tanks, turn off the main water to the house and see if the meter keeps running, etc. I soon figured out that I needed professional help. After researching several companies, I called Clearwater. Simon, the owner, answered my call and managed to come out the next day. He is a one man shop and very experienced. He has all the latest tools and equipment (German listening probes, Helium pressure equipment, infrared, etc. ) He found the leak in our outside pipes in under two hours (his minimum). I contracted him initially because he advertised that he could fix the problem as well as locate the leak (unlike most other leak detection companies). He found the leak under a concrete walkway but wouldn't be able to get to the repair for another two weeks, so we contacted another contractor. That being said, he was very professional, highly skilled, and very reasonable. I would recommend him for leak detection to anyone in the Seattle area.
