Back in 2005, our company started to assist to Santa Barbara Area Homeowners. While engaged in several different construction projects and often faced difficulties trying to find leaks. Competing firms providing leak detection services faced significant delays while imposing steep charges. We started finding the leaks ourselves with just one service truck to enhance our efficiency and currently have three vehicles across the greater Santa Barbara region.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Kimberly F.My experience with Acme leak detection was great. Gary came out and spent a few hours helping me locate a leak. When my guys were digging where Gary indicated the leak was, I texted him to ask him a question and as he was in the area he simply stopped by the check in and take a look. This goes above and beyond what was expected. He is very professional and I would highly recommend Acme Leak Detection.
Ginger M.We called Gary to help find what we thought was a leak in the water supply line to a very old home. He was able to come out the day after I called him, and he determined quickly within an hour) that the leak was a sewer/drain line issue, not a water supply line leak.
He then told me the pipe would need re-lining, and that I needed to find a plumber that specialized in that, AND he took the time to describe 3 methods of pipe re-lining, so that when I called plumbers I would understand a bit about what they could do and whether it was appropriate to the situation. He was friendly, professional and informative!
Casey G.Gary is great. Found out main line leak in an hour. Highly recommend his services. Seems to know what he's doing.
Ken S.Gary and his crew found my slab leak, fixed it, put everything back as it was in a very timely manner- all with great professionalism and respect! I recommend them wholeheartedly!
We had an underground water leak. Acme Detection showed up on time the same day called. The leak was found after a very thorough audio inspection (about 30 test sites). Acme's plumber was able to locate and fix the leak the same day. Acme Detection completed the job on time and on budget. Much thanks goes to Acme Detection Company's Gary Fuller and his positive can do attitude.
Faith O.We had a relatively unpleasant leak coming from our kitchen. Gary F. came by, and within minutes was able to identity the problem. He was very friendly and professional, making the whole process even easier!
Arne D.Gary and his team of experts have saved me several times. I have had multiple plumbing issues after moving into a new condominium complex in Santa Barbara. Whether it was finding the location of a broken water pipe damaged by tree roots; to figuring out where in the walls a leak is coming from; and most recently when my shower handle broke with the water fully on. The team at Acme are prompt; professional; and cost effective. They are also really good at their jobs. I cannot recommend highly enough.
So nice to have a service that will tell when they don't think you have a problem. I called about some mold in my closet and he talked me through different scenarios and things to try first before engaging the leak detection. Very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with me on the phone. So great to find HONEST people!
ACME - Gary and Larry - were great! Responsive, quick, smart and ethical. They found the leak, fixed it and advised on options and impacts along with way. Their fees were reasonable, especially compared to other options I researched. They are local and appreciate being in the community. I recommend them with confidence.
Thanks so much Garry for your knowledge and ability to solve my water leak issues. Prompt and efficient
