Expert Plumbing leak detection in San Diego, CA

A hidden water leak in a San Diego downtown property can go unnoticed for weeks. Water quietly moves behind walls, under concrete slabs, and through underground lines before any visible sign appears. At Economy Plumbing SD, we trace leaks at their source using acoustic listening tools and moisture detection, so we know exactly where to work before opening anything up. Downtown San Diego has a mix of older multi-unit buildings and newer condos, many built on slab-on-grade foundations. That construction style puts supply lines directly under concrete, making pinpoint detection critical before any access work begins. We serve homeowners and property managers across San Diego downtown, Mira Mesa, La Jolla, Coronado, Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Bonita, Imperial Beach, Poway, Scripps Ranch, Sorrento Mesa, and University City. Our plumber grew up in this trade, starting alongside his father, so reading a plumbing system and finding what others miss is second nature. If your water bill has climbed or you hear water running with everything off, call us.

These guys did a great job, they gave me a great price to replace my water main. Friendly, hard working and very responsive. They came out in the morning, gave me a price and started the work immediately. They were done in a day. I highly recommend them and I will be hiring them for future needs.

NPDExperts Google review · August 2026

I woke up to a flooded pool on Saturday before Labor Day weekend. Water was gushing out of the ground. I tried turning off everything I could see but it didn’t make any difference. After turning off the mains, I found Franklin from Economy. He came out and gave me an estimate right away to dig up the pipe. That’s when we discovered that it had burst. Franklin built a copper pipe to bypass and saved my Labor Day weekend. It would’ve been not a very fun long weekend if it weren’t for his prompt and professional plumbing work. I will definitely be calling Franklin for any future plumbing work. 10/10 highly recommended

Franklin was amazing! They responded and came out right away. Snaked two drains and added a new gas line for a dryer. Very clean and polite. We will definitely be calling them again.

Meredith Newberry Google review · July 2026

Highly recommended, fast communication and quick service. Was even available on a Sunday evening to fix a leaking supply line. Franklin was patient, answered all of my questions, and worked quickly. Wont hesitate to use their company again.
