Meet Our Team
I am Kuziwa Chanaiwa, aka, KC (my initials) and together with my wife Sally, we own and operate the American Leak Detection (ALD) franchise in San Luis Obispo (SLO), Kern, Inyo and Mono Counties.We have been at this since 1998 when we both left our good paying jobs in the health insurance industry, purchased the SLO county territory and moved our family. We have not looked back. I primarily cover SLO county. However, often I assist our employee, Michael Cruz who covers Kern, Inyo and Mono counties.
Leak detection, be it under slabs, decks, soil or in the wall, is challenging investigative work It demands logic, systemization, patience, perseverence and innovation. No two jobs are ever alike and its never boring. With the corporate system behind us as well as our fellow franchisees, we have a vast network of consultants, teachers/trainers and advisers on hand 24/7. This is invaluable support which most other service providers do not have availble to them. Our technology is superior and believe me I have seen what the others have in their tool boxes.
I came here from Zimbabwe, then Rhodesia and went to school at California Lutheran College and UCLA. After graduate school I decided I loved it here. I have seen most corners and nooks in CA and I can tell you SLO county is among the best. I love the beach, I hike, I golf and I enjoy long car rides on windy roads. I play and coach soccer. I volunteer with CASA , Arroyo Grande High school as well as my town of Grover Beach.
My wife and I look forward to serving you and will always strive to provide you with our very best service. Please call or email us and dont forget to always fill out and send in those satisfaction surveys we give you. You can also complete your survey online. Thank you for your patronage.
