American Leak Detection has done extensive leak search.
They were very methodical. They tried to do their best at minimal cost. They finished the test and gave us a report which we could show the insurance company for acceptance. They even lowered their price since the job did not turn out to be as complicated as it could be. The quality of the work was perfect. They took the time to talk to you. They were here the day after we called them. They were clean. I was very impressed.

Steve Lee came as quickly as possible after my wife called on our slab leak. They were very courteous and not only performed the job under the estimate, but also rerouted the piping in the wall rather than through the cabinets as originally planned. Thank You guys!! A Lot!! Anselm and Sophie Hii

Description of Work: We were losing water from our pool and suspected a leak in the plumbing, as there were no obvious signs of a leak. James arrived at the scheduled time and went right to work. Using pressurized air and a stethoscope, he detected a leak in the return side of the pool plumbing. He also pointed out where the pool pump needed new gaskets and seal. He provided a written report of his findings. When we uncovered the pipe, there was the leak exactly where he said. Once the pipe was repaired, James came out again to re-check the return plumbing and confirm that the leak was fixed. A written report was provided for the retest. It cost $275 with an Angie's List coupon to locate the leak initially and $150 to return for the recheck.
We were pleased with the results. James was easy to work with and happy to answer our many questions about pool plumbing as well as the leak detection process
Member Comments: It went very well. They were able to schedule an appointment within a week. We would not hesitate to call them again.
