Alejandro Diaz

Alejandro Diaz is the owner and founder of Total Leak Detection. He built it as a specialized diagnostics company because plumbers, restoration contractors, and insurance carriers too often could not find professionals who truly knew how to find leaks—not just treat symptoms. Total Leak Detection exists to deliver that focused expertise: accurate locating, clear documentation, and guidance that helps customers and partners move forward with confidence.

Field experience and education

Alejandro is a licensed plumber who grew up in the trade—service calls with family, hands-on troubleshooting, and years in the field solving complex plumbing problems. He later earned a bachelor’s degree in Business from Florida International University, strengthening operations, leadership, finance, and strategy, and gained additional experience in marketing and business development. That mix is what he brings to Total Leak Detection: technical judgment plus the discipline to run a diagnostics-led operation.

Family background (context, not the headline)

His family operates Hernandez Plumbing Company, a Miami plumbing business with roots going back to his grandfather—built on hard work and integrity. That history informs how Alejandro thinks about the trades and customer trust; this page and this brand are about Total Leak Detection, which he founded to address a specific gap the broader market was not filling.

How he approaches the work

Known for finding solutions where others cannot, Alejandro focuses on solving problems the right way—not the most expensive way. The same mindset applies to leak diagnostics: pin down the source, explain it clearly, and help avoid unnecessary demolition or repeat visits.

He is also involved in restoration operations through Total Care Restoration (water, mold, and fire damage)—another lens that reinforces why accurate leak findings matter upstream of repairs and claims.
