Services
Our proven three phase process of leak detection and repair ensures that when we’re done, your leak will be resolved and your home left pristine.
Who We Are
We provide leak detection, leak repair, mold detection, and mold remediation throughout the Philadelphia area.
Step 1 - Leak Detection
During our leak detection step, our leak team will do a thorough exterior inspection of your home and will identify possible entry points for water. From there they will reproduce the leak and possibly cut open an interior viewable area as well. This process allows us to replicate your leak and then create a fully customized list of repair options to fit your needs. You will need to be present for this work. After the leak detection, we will generate a leak report within approximately 14 business days. This leak report will act as your estimate for the repairs needed to get your home watertight.
Step 2 - Leak Repair
We have our own in-house repair team capable of handling the majority of your leak repairs. We can repair roofs, plumbing, stucco, windows, pilot-house doors, chimneys, sliding doors, decks, and more!
Step 3 - Cosmetic Repairs
Once your leak is fully resolved, we are able to complete any interior cosmetic repairs (drywall, painting, etc.). We highly suggest a waiting period of a few weather events that would have traditionally elicited the leak, to allow for the maximum amount of natural leak detection.

Temporary Fixes for a Leaking Roof
Need a temporary fix for a leaking roof while you wait on professional help? Here’s how to manage your roof leak and prevent water damage.
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.

I had 2-3 contractors come out to figure out where a leak was coming from in my house. After one visit they figured out where the leak was coming from and diagnosed how to fix it. Haven’t had any water coming in since. Aaron was great and everyone that was involved was great. Definitely would use them again but hopefully won’t have to.

Had a lead pipe start leaking into my ceiling, Alex and his team were courteous, concise and very knowledgeable. Work was done quickly and incredibly clean considering what was needed for the repairs. A great value and piece of mind at the same time! Excellent work guys!

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. 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.

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.

The guys who came on Monday were great and very professional, made me feel like I made the right decision, actually everyone I’ve dealt with in this company has been great! … Again, thanks so much for making this as painless as possible.

I was impressed with the guys and their professionalism. 5 stars - They also found the leak in a totally different area of where I would have fixed. Nice!
To be honest this has been a weight off my mind to have someone professional and who knows what they're doing help with the house problems.
It's like a vacation 🙂
