Customer Comments:
Dear Mr. Carter:
I cannot tell you how pleased we were with ALD's work this past week. Your company has assisted us in Palm Springs over the years and also, on occasion, at our main home in Pasadena.
As you know, we have quite a unique property: www.meyerman.com and extra care is required to maintain the original 1950's appearance of the home. We were frankly at a loss to find a practical solution to permanently eliminate the risk of our main sewer line clogging as a result of multiple root intrusions. We are also located on a rock ledge, further complicating the challenge.
Your team was initially headed by Erick Morales, later joined by his supervisor Andy and as the project unfolded, by several other knowledgeable employees of the firm. All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner and Erick, who had been here in the past, stood out. I even suggested some additional work, yet Erick, once more, provided a more practical solution. Erick also worked very well with our staff.
As a former Chief Executive of First Interstate Bank, later the senior Managing Director of what is today JPMorganChase and at present Chairman of the Palm Springs Art Museum, I was struck by your team's "advisory, consultative" approach rather than what is more typical "sales" approach. The team determined the source and location of the problem, discussed various alternatives, brought in experts, arrived at a workable solution which was then followed by a proposal. That proposal was executed to the letter, within budget and in a timely fashion.
We would be most pleased to serve as a reference should this be helpful. It was a pleasure to meet you during the process.
With my sincere thanks and very best wishes,
Harold Meyerman

Please allow this letter to serve as our recommentdation for American Leak Detection. We have used the services of this company on countless occations over the many years, and we have always found them to be prompt, thorough and completely professional. A few years ago we had a string of leaks which had gone undetected during the summer months and had cuased a tremndous amount of dmaage, including mold. Jimmy Carter and American Leak Detection came to our assistance immediately and solved the problems in a timely and competent manner. I might also add the office staff is always very courteous and helpful. We will continue to use the services of American Leak Detection in the future.

Customer Comments:
This is to recommend American Leak Detection as an excellent service provider.
We contact them to perform leak detections which usually are needed the same day. They make every efforts to meet these requirements in a most timely manner with very professional reports submitted to us. These reports in turn are utilized to process insurance claims, and have to be very precise and exacting. The technicians are available to speak with to clairify any questions or concerns that we or the insurance adjusters have.
Approved repairs are made as quickly as they are approved by the insurance companies. The customers are very satisfied, which makes our business with them as we do restoration repairs start out on very good footing.
We highy recommend American Leak Detection for any plumbing service that may be required.

Description of Work: Pin hole leak in shower tile grout.
Member Comments: It took the "technician" no more that 10 minutes to find the pin hole in the shower grout. I think a $75-$85 service call would have been more appropriate than a $250 charge. Had the work been more involved and time consuming, of course more money would have been warranted.

Description of Work: Called to find a leak between water meter and house.
Member Comments: They charge $250 just to come out. They arrived on time but I found the leak myself. So they reduced the charge to $200 but for that amount they really did nothing. I think they are pricey for a service call.
