What does Shanzo Detectors and Repairs do?
Shanzo Detectors and Repairs runs a free phone referral service for homeowners in Reno, Nevada and nearby communities. When you call (775) 477-1278, your call is connected with an independent, third-party leak detection or plumbing provider that serves your area. That provider handles the visit, the testing and any repair.
We built this service because hidden leaks are stressful and confusing. Most people do not know whether they need a plumber, a leak detection specialist, a pool technician or their gas utility. They search, call several numbers, and still are not sure who handles slab leaks or how detection even works. Our goal is to shorten that path: one number, and a clear guide to what each kind of leak involves.
This website is the other half of that goal. Each service page explains a leak type in plain language, including the signs, causes, safe checks you can do yourself, and what a professional visit looks like. Start with the Shanzo Detectors and Repairs homepage for the full overview.
What we do not do
Being clear about our role matters, so here it is in plain terms:
- We do not perform leak detection, plumbing, gas work or repairs ourselves.
- We do not employ the technicians who visit your home.
- We do not set prices, quote jobs or collect payment for the work.
- We do not guarantee the work, warranties or results of any provider.
- We may receive a fee from the providers we connect callers with.
Because each provider is a separate business, they are responsible for their own licenses, insurance, pricing, scheduling, warranties and workmanship. We encourage every caller to confirm those details directly with the provider before work begins.
How are calls matched with providers?
Calls are routed to providers who serve the caller's area and handle the type of leak described. Availability changes day to day, so the provider you reach may vary. We do not rank providers or claim that any one is the best. Instead, we give you the questions to ask so you can make your own decision with confidence.
When you are connected, it helps to share the signs you have seen, where in the home they are, whether the house is on a slab or has a crawlspace, and any water meter readings you have taken. Clear details help the provider plan the right tests, whether that is slab leak detection, water line leak detection or a sewer camera inspection.
What should you ask a provider?
We suggest every caller ask these questions before agreeing to a visit:
- Are you licensed and insured for this kind of work in Nevada?
- What is the service or detection fee, and what does it include?
- Which detection methods will you use for my leak type?
- Will I get the findings in writing, with photos if possible?
- If a repair is needed, what options do you offer, and is restoration included?
- What warranty do you provide on repairs?
A trustworthy provider will answer clearly and will not pressure you to commit to a large repair before showing you where the leak is and why the repair fits.
Our content standards
The guides on this site focus on general, practical knowledge about how leaks happen and how they are found. We avoid making claims we cannot back up. You will not find invented reviews, made-up statistics or price lists on this site, because real prices depend on each home and each provider. Local details we mention, such as Reno's cold winters, dry summers and hard water, are widely known features of the area.
If you are dealing with a gas smell, please do not start with this website. Leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility first. Our gas leak detection guide explains what happens after the area is safe.
