Aaron was extremely helpful with frequent updates (e.g. assessment done, parts received, work completed). When Aaron updated me on work completion, I asked him if I should worry about mold and he offered to treat the car with anti-mold over the weekend at no extra charge. He explained to me each step of how he diagnoses car water leaks for my curiosity and explained to me the different likely scenarios that led to the issue at hand. I highly recommend their service.

I found this place was a recommendation of a friend. Aaron was amazing to work with! I took in my Civic with a leaky floor(not sure where it was coming from) and he fixed it and also was able to fix my sun roof as well. Excellent value for the work he does and has a lifetime warranty on all the work! He was straightforward with pricing and the time it would take! HIGHLY recommend if you have a leak!

Second to none! These guys know their stuff. Took a leaky car to them and in a matter of a day they had it figured out, fixed and ready for pickup the next day. Very nice and communicative. They’re very affordable as well. I expected it to be very expensive since it was automotive related. Go here, look no further.

Took my truck in for leaking issues, they diagnosed the issue but it ended up being something they could not fix since it was a structural issue, they did not charge me and suggested a fix.

Thanks again guys

I highly recommend Waterleak Techniques. They did amazing work with my Ford Escape, communicated with me through the entire process, and were a pleasure to work with.

Have brought in vehicles here for leak repairs over the years. Each time the repair needed was fully explained, completed on time as promised, and held up as guaranteed.

When our new (!) Ford needed a water leak repaired, we were relieved the dealership made arrangements to have Waterleak Techniques do the warranty-covered work. Excellent customer service here, as always. Thank you, Aaron. Appreciate you and your team.

Got into my car and the roof was dripping in on me. Luckily my mechanic referred me to Waterleak and I called immediately. I spoke with Aaron who lent me an ear, was knowledgeable about my car type being notorious for leak issues and got me on his calendar asap. My sunroof turned out to be the culprit, and since it hadn’t worked properly in years, Aaron went above and beyond checking for options to affordably fix my issue (made calls on my behalf) and shared how it could be done. He also explained the possible issues to me, which I found helpful. The price of service was also very reasonable $$$ and due to nice weather I got my car back within the day. I've definitely passed the referral on to my family and friends. The stellar customer service is much appreciated.

If your car has a water leak, don't waste your time and money taking it somewhere else first like I did. At first we tried somewhere else because Waterleaks doesn't answer their phone. But when the other place took my money and did nothing, I showed up at Waterleaks to see if they could work on my car. Finally our car's water leak is fixed and I am so grateful for this business. Just know that when you call, no one will answer the phone; just leave a message(s) and/or show up. It is worth it. This father and son team know their stuff and have a lifetime guarantee on their work. I highly recommend them.

This is one of those rare businesses that really takes care of you. My car is a repeat client as the water track in my sunroof gets clogged every several years. They have fixed up my ride right as rain both times. Aaron is wonderful to work with and makes scheduling painless! They even have overnight drop off if your work schedule is crazy like mine. Waterleak Techniques is quick and highly skilled in their work. I highly recommend this business!

They got my leak on the driver's side A pillar taken care of in good time and steam cleaned the stain off for a great deal. I had a different minor leak or residue water or something and they got me taken care of and extra sealed everything. Thank you so much for taking good care of me and my car.

I received one of the best customer service from Aaron. Before taking my car in the shop, he assessed my car and determined that it did not seem to have an active leak. So he decided not to take my car in and gave me advice on how to proceed to ensure my car interior gets fully dried. He is also extremely knowledgeable regarding the matter.

My acura wasn't starting, we did all the things like battery and alternator. Still didn't start. They found 2 leaks in the A frame sealed and replaced clips and the service and price was amazing!

What a great bunch of people running a reliable, stand-up business! They quickly fixed my clogged sunroof drains (and dried out my soggy interior) in 2021. When it happened again this week, they got me in within 2 days and had my car ready same day at no charge. They even showed me preventive maintenance. Can't recommend Water Leak Techniques highly enogh!!

Called twice over a week for a leaky trunk left messages an no return call. So I drove my car there and the guy there said they don't do much walk in business mostly commercial and dealer. They did give me a reference but 1* for not bothering to return calls.

Aaron and his people did an awesome job! I was really worried that this was the end for my little car. Driving in Washington and having a water leak do NOT go well together. Leak repaired (Sun roof drains plugged up which is common) and interior dried out. This is the second vehicle they have worked on of mine. First was my Ford dealer who outsourced the work. This time I found out who they used and took my second vehicle to them directly. Incredible work and awesome customer Service. Hope Water Leak Techniques is around for the long term.

These guys are awesome! Had a real issue with water coming through somewhere in the sunroof and puddling on the floor mats and into the carpet underneath. They were able to locate the leak and overpack it so it won't happen again . Highly recommend these folks...a pleasure to work with!

Aaron was wonderful! He worked on a sunroof leak on our Subaru for a week and did not charge us because the repairs he tried earlier had not worked. It looks like he solved the problem now. Great to work with - highly recommended!

These guys really know leaks! They did a terrific job on our sunroof leak and were a pleasure to work with. Nice, caring people with great communication.

Aaron was pleasant and professional. He got me scheduled quickly. He was knowledgeable and identified the leak in my 2018 Honda Fit’s sunroof based purely on the description I gave (I thought it was a door leak—shows what I know!)

Waterleak Techniques was accommodating and kept my car overnight to let me pick up my car the following day when it was more convenient.

I haven’t had leak issues since, and the fact that there’s a warranty makes me feel good.

Are these guys still in business?
I have called everyday this last week (6/21/21 - 6/25/21), and no answer. I have left a message 3 or 4 times, no return calls.

I am giving a 3-star review (middle), as it is the only way to post is to rate them.
I have not used them.
1 would be unfair, 5 would not be appropriate

Very professional. Excellent service. My car started to leak 3 years after the initial repair and these guys got me right back in and sealed up again. Stood by their work. I highly recommend them.

My car had a water leak coming into the back seat from below. Toyota was not able to find the problem so I brought it here. Waterleak Techniques also noted one from around a windshield I had replaced a year ago. Aaron was very friendly, explained what they had found and answered questions, gave me a quote and performed the work in a timely manner. I was given a life-time guarantee with the work which was reasonably priced. It felt like very personalized attention, something you don't find in many businesses. I would highly recommend them.

This place is a lifesaver! My hybrid couldn't sit out under the rain overnight because the water would work it's way into the electrical system. Unfortunately I just moved to a place with no covered parking, so with the rainy season upon us, it was a do or die situation for my poor old car. So I called up Waterleak and they took it in and fixed it right as rain! :) I'm so happy to not have to replace my car and to never worry about rain again! And it was for a great price plus the confidence to know that I can take it back to them if I do have any issues in the future with their lifetime guarantee. :)

Have a leak in the trunk/roof of an '01 Subaru Outback and these folks were great. They were really helpful over the phone and gave me a good idea of what to expect for the timeline and cost. Turns out the leak was due to the broken roof rack which had snapped and punctured the roof. Due to the build of the car, it would've been really expensive to fix(have to rip the entire headliner out to replace the broken bolt that holds the roof rack on). They were really nice about it and explained that they can fix it if needed, but it's not recommended due to the high cost. They showed me the hole and gave a few tips for cheap temporary fixes to get us through the winter. All in all, it was a great experience and I'll definitely be recommending this place and coming back in the future.

Absolutely love this place! Aaron is a pleasure to work with. It is refreshing to work with someone who truly cares about their quality of work. I truly recommend to everyone!

Had a leak in my trunk which was fixed fast! Aaron was thoughtful about my time as well and worked it out so I would only have to rent a car one day. Aaron connected my leak to some body work I had done and even helped by talking to the auto body place which helped me get them to reimburse me for the work Aaron did. I will would definitely bring my car back here if I have leaks in the future. Pricing was very reasonable and work was excellent.

I have a 2004 Acura MDX I bought second hand. Had a water leak that would not stop. It was coming from a seam in the fire wall I believe. Well wherever it was coming from Aaron and his father repaired it before Covid-19 restrictions set in and I am very thankful to these guys. They are fair and their work is A+. If you have a water leak take it to them. Price is right. Besides that water coming into my car is a bigger problem than how much it cost to remove it. These guys are honest as well. So do not let your leak run you crazy take it to Water leak techniques and they will take care of you and the leak!

Did any amazing job—after paying for the initial fixes, I noticed a small leak still. They took my car in right away, no problem, no questions, and got it all fixed free of charge. Very nice, friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Aaron twice now at Waterleak Techniques with 2 different vehicles. Both times I was impressed and completely satisfied. Very reasonably priced. The detail with which they investigate reveals just how knowledgable and skilled they are at what they do. Great to work with and highly professional across all dimensions of the service experience.

Nice guys that get the job done. Reasonable fees for detection and you can apply your detection fee to the cost of repairs.

Ryan A

these guys don't answer their phones or work on VW's, or accords, or this or that. Basically, you need to walk in with your car between the hours of 11-3 and hope it's easy enough for them to fix.

It's hard to find waterleak people. Dealerships will do it for insane money, otherwise, you kind of need to get lucky and find a shop who is willing to do it. Autoglass places sometimes will.

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

2. How long does roof replacement take?
+-

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
