Gus is brilliant with how water works and flows on your property. He was able to determine what the issue was and how water was getting in my basement when it rained. HIGHLY recommend you call his first to see what the real issue is. He saved me A LOT of money.

We knew we had water drainage issues, but we didn't know where start or what to do about them. Gus demonstrated expert skill in quickly identifying the problems around our house. He also gave us clear steps for mitigation including the priority in which they should be addressed. We highly recommend his services.

Gus has a very unique and insightful approach on how to help people deal and figure out issues as it relates to water and leaks with in and around their house.Our basement was flooded completely a few years back and wish I would have been able to visit with Gus when this occurred. Given his background as an engineer and architect, he is incredibly insightful in how water flows. I would trust him in a minute with any issue I would ever have with my house. Gus is just a great guy to work with! :)

Call The Leak Detective, you will be SO GLAD you did! This was the best thing we have ever done for our home of two years. Gus gave us a detailed plan for grading the soil around our house so water can drain away from the house where it is supposed to go. We liked learning about our yard and house from Gus--now that we have that invaluable information, we will be able to maintain our home on our own from here on out. We highly recommend this service! THANK YOU!

Gus at the Leak Detective was beyond expectational to work with. He is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to find the root of the problem all while keeping you, the customer, informed of the process. His observations and analysis are detailed and provide a lot of background when determining a cause for an issue. As mentioned before, he will not steer you into making an unnecessary fix. If you ever find yourself with a water intrusion issue and you have no idea where to start, I would highly recommend giving Gus a call first.

Gus was fantastic! He used remote investigation and found our problem & found a good fix for it. Compared to other companies I have used in past, The Leak Detective was fast, courteous, & charged fair pricing for services performed. Gus explained all services performed in detail. I would hire him again for any future services needed & highly recommend his company!

Gus has great knowledge when it comes to drainage on your property. Not only can he detect the leaks on an existing building but he can also give recommendations on a new construction. We used Gus to make sure the drainage on the house were building will is done properly to avoid leaks in the future. I would highly recommend hiring Gus.
