David Herrera founded Leak Detection Santa Ana after 15+ years of hands-on plumbing and leak-detection work across Orange County. He specializes in locating slab leaks without tearing up a home’s floor, and in planning whole-house repipes for the area’s older, hard-water housing stock.
David Herrera has spent more than 15 years working on homes across Orange County, with a focus that narrowed over time to one problem: finding hidden water leaks, especially slab leaks, without the guesswork and demolition that usually comes with them. Over that time, David saw the same pattern again and again in older Santa Ana homes: a suspected leak, a best guess, and a slab or wall opened up in the wrong spot before the real leak was found.
That experience is why he founded Leak Detection Santa Ana as a specialist company rather than a general plumbing shop. He believes a homeowner with a suspected slab leak deserves someone whose entire job is finding it precisely, the first time, not a side task for a plumber juggling ten other jobs that week.
David now leads the company’s approach to detection accuracy and oversees its whole-house repipe work, setting the standard the rest of the team is trained to follow. He is also the name behind two promises the company puts in writing: if the team can’t locate a leak, there’s no detection fee, and every repair carries a 2-year workmanship warranty. Those two guarantees, not a sales pitch, are what David asks homeowners to hold him and the company to.
David’s specialization centers on locating slab leaks without tearing up a home’s floor, and on planning whole-house repipes for Santa Ana’s older, hard-water housing stock.

That experience is his own, personal, pre-company background, not a claim about how long the business itself has been operating.
Slab leak location, whole-house repipe oversight, and setting the detection-accuracy standard the rest of the team trains to. These are skills built through hands-on experience, not a third-party certification.
