Detect & Repair Leak Services

I have had an ongoing leak on my 2nd floor living room ceiling for over a decade. It would get “fixed” with patches and guesswork but has always returned. My condo management company recently told me the leak was caused by “unwrapped HVAC connections” two stories above on my roof- and wanted $1300 to “fix” it.

Instead i hired Dr. Leaks and they found the leak source within a few hours. It was from a deck directly above the leak. The crew who came (thank you Louis!) were great- on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and I now can finally get this ongoing problem fixed. This was well worth the money and time spent. I very much recommend this service. Had I known about them before I could’ve avoided years of headache and repairs that failed over and over again. Five stars…very impressed.

Dr. Leaks was a really great detection and contracting experience. Which, after having less than stellar contractors previously, was a huge relief. They were able to quickly find the leaks and provide an accurate (!) estimate of repair costs within 2 weeks.
Additionally, the team was extremely amenable to custom changes and adding upgrades to the repair work.
Hanlon was great to work with coordinating schedules and answering lots of questions.
The repair contractor, Daniel, was very diligent and professional. No messes were left at any point. Billing was accurate and detailed.
A+ worth the investment in paying for quality work.

I asked Dr. Leaks to investigate a number of leaks in my home. Their process is highly thorough and it takes time. I am pretty handy, but for months struggled to figure out where the water is coming from. Two of their professional technicians spent all day at my home figuring out these leaks, which was quite difficult, but they found it. They provided a thorough report of the leak locations and remediation plan. Luckily I am able to remediate the issues myself. If you’ve got a leak that you can’t figure out or can’t get to, these are the specialists to call.

Dr. Leaks is the greatest. They were able to detect the source of a ceiling link that my home repair guy couldnt. They isolated it in under 2 hours. Love their service.

These guys are awesome! I had an ongoing leak on my patio for several months. Other contractors failed to properly diagnose and repair the leak. Some recommended I replace the entire roof. Dr. Leaks were able to properly diagnose and repair the damage. They were very professional and informative. Do not waste your time and money with other contractors. If you want peace of mind and the job done right, these guys are the real deal.

i found that the Dr Leaks team did an outstanding service at investigating the inspection. They came to me highly recommended and earned my respect after seeing their investigation! it’s a little pricey but this was money well spent!

“Dr Leak” is top notch — responsive, effective process, careful, thoughtful and they were successful with a very tricky complicated leak situation. They diagnosed and fixed. One of the best home repair experiences I have had. I just called them for another one, unfortunately !

We were plagued with leaks in a roof deck area for years. We tried roofers, masons, and contractors without success. Alex and the Dr Leaks team were able to approach the problem holistically and completely solved the problem. I’ve recommended them to others and would 100% call them again.

Easily 5 stars. Rob, Steve, Luis, and Hanlon are all excellent.

I was worried about the company's hourly rate until I realized that it includes 3-4 people working at the same time on the problem, testing and measuring every possible source of your leak. The amount of workers more than justifies the rate. In fact, it saves money in the end. They even did a free consultation.

When my leak came back with a vengeance, the team returned to make tweaks and adjustments to their previous repairs. They did this at no charge.

They explain what's going on, show you what they're doing, and treat you warmly. That goes a long way.

I have used Dr. Leaks for several years for a persistent leak that could not be fixed by multiple other services. The test, repair and confirm strategy worked wonderfully to confirm that a leak had been fixed. They even found another leak point that would have been a problem in the next few years with their leak test.

The whole team especially Alex and Pablo was very professional and explained/answered all the questions I had. Highly recommend (as I've done for neighbors already) their services.

Our row home has been having leaks for a couple of years, largely due to faulty work by the original builder. Alex and his team are responsive, punctual, communicative, and responsible for their work. They charge by the hour, can be on the pricey end depending on the type of job but they itemize cost, return calls, and when lingering issues arise, they come back and address them. We've dealt with contractors who never returned calls, who gave a quote but refused to work us thru what the repair entails, and the ones whose repair failed but refused to come back and address. It's been a great experience working with Alex and his team to make sure our leak problem can be finally addressed, and we are now aware of where the vulnerable parts are so we can get the needed maintenance.

We had a mysterious leak, under a 2nd floor deck into a corner of the kitchen, that has been unsolved for years, even with several attempts by others to repair it. We reached out to the Leak Doctors, and although initially it seemed to be solved, the leak continued, even as a small drip, but the team never gave up and in fact came to our house several times, a couple of times complementary, until it was resolved. Everyone we worked with (Hanlon, Steve, Luis, Robert, Rob, John, Israel) was very professional and great to work with.

Dr. Leaks is a lifesaver. We had been dealing with several water-related issues for years and had spent thousands of dollars with multiple contractors trying to figure out and fix the problem, all to no avail. Along came Dr. Leaks, which figured it out and implemented a effective and durable solution - and no water intrusion since! They are professional, responsive, and most importantly, good. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Alex and his team were extremely diligent from start to finish in fixing a leak from my roof deck going into my third floor bathroom. To begin, he was very clear on how his team will conduct their process, laying out the exact steps they will take to remedy the leak. Once it was time to do the actual work, his team worked efficiently to fix my leak. Afterwards, when they were sure the leak was fixed, the team came in and made the bathroom look like new. Through multiple phone calls, in person meetings, and texts Alex was always clear about what task the team was performing, which was very helpful. Would highly recommend!

We purchased a completely renovated house in 2018, and within a few months we had a terrible leak causing extensive damage, kitchen ceiling falling down because it was rotting. We had contractors trying to fix it for over a year causing the worst stress on us as a family. We researched and put out a call out on Nextdoor app for a specialist and Alex’s name kept coming up. Alex was able to systematically find where the leaks were coming from through diligent investigations and test, after doing repairs he would check in when we had bad rain to make sure it was fixed. We are still leak free to date and really appreciate how transparent Alex was thought the entire process

Alex and his team were one of the more professional teams of contractors I've had the pleasure of working with. I've had 2 other contractors in to assess a leak in my house and wasted thousands of dollars. The most impressive thing about Dr. Leaks is the thorough process they use to identify/test the leak before just slapping up new drywall. I would highly recommend using Dr. Leaks for any leak issues.

We had a mystery leak in the corner of our front bedroom, near our chimney. We had four or five contractors look at it, but no one seemed to know the source. We ended up replacing our chimney liner for our furnace and repairing the water-damaged wall, but then more water damage appeared. I finally called Dr. Leaks. Alex did a very thorough investigation, including opening up the wall and the ceiling, and advised me that we had likely repaired the wall before it was fully dried out. He advised a wait and see approach. Alex was very responsive as I sent him pictures of the area, and he came out several times to check on the drying process. When he was confident the wall was sufficiently dried out and no leaks were coming from the ceiling, his team closed it up. It looks like the leak never happened! His team also did some roof and chimney maintenance to ensure that no water came in that way. Alex is very good at explaining the investigation. I have a lot of peace of mind knowing that his investigation was so thorough.

Dr. Leaks is a top notch business. They described the entire process before beginning work and everything went as planned. We had a vent stack replaced, which went from the basement to the roof. Dr. Leaks did the repairs with minimal damage to repair in the end, which the business also completed. I would highly recommend them!

Professional and honest. They helped diagnose a slow leak scenario where it was completely unclear if the issue was with the roof, or with some plumbing (it was the plumbing). Their business model of working backwards from the leak works really well for this type of problem, as if we had simply hired a roofer it wouldn't have fixed what was the actual cause of the problem, and if we had just hired a plumber they may have missed other issues, and the fix for the plumbing issue falls more under carpentry than plumbing overall. The team diagnosed and repaired the issue promptly and restored the area of the ceiling that had to be disturbed in order to fix the leak, all in a single day. Would use again, would recommend.

Alex and his team are great! First, the come inspect the situation, take pictures of damage and then provide estimate. They also let you know their schedules up front and try their best to work around your schedule. The whole is professional and respectful of your property. They cleaned up after every visit.
We used Dr. Leaks after a good friend of ours used Alex's team for an emergency. It was actually we called Alex as well. He was at our house within a day and within a couple days had everything fixed. Most importantly they took before and after pictures. They took our siding off and took pictures to show us exactly where the leak was coming from. Turns out the builders of our house did a bad job. The team repaired everything and took pictures at each step. I thought this was the best part since as Alex was explaining everything he had it all in picture. He wanted to prove to me how he fixed the leak and what he did to make sure we were happy with everything. Only after all of this did we receive the bill. I gladly paid. We will be using the team again in a few months to reseal our roof.

Thank you guys for helping so quickly!!
