Our Team
David Edwards
President
David Edwards graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1980. David's first career was as a property insurance adjuster. It was on that faitfull day in 1997 that David had a claim involving a leak under the slab. No one could find this leak. A search revealed the existence of American Leak Detection. The business was inactive and for sale due to the physical disability of the original owner, Gary Cremer. It was after much deliberation, prayer and blessings from above, David acquired American Leak Detection.
