Serving Santa Ana & Central OC
Leak Detection Santa Ana is a residential leak detection and leak repair specialist serving the city of Santa Ana and central Orange County, California. We find hidden water, slab, sewer, pool, and gas leaks using non-invasive electronic equipment: acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas, and camera inspection, then we repair what we find. Leak detection and repair is the whole job here, not a sideline picked up between other plumbing calls. We are not a general plumbing company that also does leaks; leaks are the one thing we do.
Our mission is to find and fix hidden leaks in Santa Ana homes precisely and non-invasively, so a homeowner gets the leak solved without their floors, walls, or yard being torn apart to go looking for it. A high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water behind a wall should be met with a technician who pinpoints the exact problem the first time, not a shovel and a guess.
Leak Detection Santa Ana launched in 2026, but its founder didn't start there: David Herrera brings 15+ years of hands-on plumbing and leak-detection experience across Orange County to a company built, from day one, as a specialist rather than a general plumber that also handles leaks. It's worth stating both halves plainly, because neither one is the whole picture on its own: the company is brand-new, and its founder is not.
David spent those years watching homeowners get handed a shovel-first answer to a leak they couldn't see: dig here, open that wall, tear up this stretch of floor, and hope the second or third attempt finds the actual problem. He founded this company because a homeowner facing a suspected slab leak deserves a technician whose entire job is finding it precisely the first time, with equipment built for that purpose rather than a demolition habit borrowed from general plumbing work.
That's also why Leak Detection Santa Ana stays a specialist instead of becoming a general plumbing shop that happens to also handle leaks: staying in one lane is what lets the team get faster and more accurate at exactly this kind of diagnosis, rather than treating it as one job type among many.
The company starts where the need is greatest: Santa Ana's older, slab-on-grade, hard-water neighborhoods, which see some of the county's highest leak activity. From there, the plan is straightforward: grow outward across Orange County, one documented, honestly priced job at a time.
Six things set our approach apart: non-invasive detection, combined detection-and-repair service, deep hyperlocal knowledge, published pricing, bilingual service, and documented work.
Seven principles guide how we work every day:
Leak Detection Santa Ana is built on a 5-person team, each with their own hands-on trade experience, brought together for a brand-new company: meet the people who'll actually be on your job.
