Got Leaks? New Leak Detection Business Arrives in Allentown and Wilkes-Barre

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania May 7, 2009 — Water is our planet’s most precious resource, yet, each day, six billion gallons of clean, treatable drinking water is wasted throughout the world due to crumbling infrastructure. And with the arrival of the new American Leak Detection business in the local area, the experts hope to not only offer their leak detection services, but educate the community on the importance of leak management.

American Leak Detection, the leading leak detection franchise, arrived in the area in May and will serve the Northeast Pennsylvania area.

“Most people view leaks as an inconvenience, but in reality they are a bigger problem than one realizes. Besides water being wasted, leaks can cause structural damage to their property that if gone unnoticed can be quite costly in the long run,” said Steven Schry, owner of the new American Leak Detection business. “We’re very excited to be a part of the local community and save both homeowners and businesses from the hassles that leaks can cause.”

American Leak Detection is known as the world leader in the accurate, non-destructive detection of all types of leaks.

The company’s experienced specialists use state-of-the-art equipment and methodology to locate concealed pipe leaks of all kinds, in all kinds of places, Schry said.

BEnvironmental USA Helps Combat H1N1 Virus A (Swine Flu)

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

B-Sanitized™ fogger can help disinfect a room in as little as 15 minutes

American Leak Detection, through its B Environmental brand of service offerings, has launched a significant weapon in the battle against H1N1 A Influenza (commonly known as Swine Flu). B-Sanitized™ is a disinfectant fogger that, within minutes, disinfects all exposed room surfaces through the release of a fine sanitizer mist.

“Offices, schools, daycare centers, clinics, hospitals, and practically every enclosed work place, are a hub for the transmission of germs and infection, often by people who aren’t aware they are sick yet,” says John Davis, Director of Corporate Operations. “Cleaning surfaces and washing hands are very important measures to help prevent the spread of germs,” he explains. “Employers have a responsibility and vested interest to protect their employees, and while education and awareness are steps in the right direction, actions speak louder than words.”

Cleaning every surface in a room by conventional methods is difficult and time consuming. B-Sanitized is an EPA-registered solution that can disinfect an entire room in minutes. At the end of the work day, simply release the cap and place the pressurized canister in the middle of the room to be disinfected. Within 15 minutes, the total release fogger distributes the environmentally responsible disinfectant throughout the room, effectively sanitizing exposed surfaces such as floors, walls, desks, and ceilings.

B-Sanitized is EPA-certified effective against Influenza A viruses including H1N1 A Influenza. It is also effective against HIV, herpes, tuberculosis, bird flu, E-coli, mold, and Hepatitis B & C, among others.

The B Environmental program focuses on hygiene, odor control, wastestream efficiency and can propose a multitude of proactive solutions for commercial and industrial markets. Get more information about American Leak Detection, B-Sanitized™ or their line of B Environmental services and products.

Used pools….Where’s the manual

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

It never ceases to amaze me how often buyers of homes with pools never receive the owners(operating) manual.  Actually, an owners manual never really exists even to the original owner, but the original owner usually does a better job of seeking-out the “how-to’s” of maintaining that big water filled hole in the ground.  For the buyer, it truly is a trial- by-fire coming up to speed on what to do (and what not to do) and when to do it.  From what chemicals to use to when  (and why) you should back-wash the filter, I get asked questions all the time and it’s not really my line of work to handle standard maintenance.  One issue seens to come up more often then others, however.  The buyer has been adding water to the pool daily because that’s what you’re supposed to do, right?  It’s just evaporating.  Wrong!  And sometimes this has gone on for years.  Think of all the money wasted in water and chemicals because they just didn’t know.  A simple and inexpensive test is all it takes.  A bucket test can be done in 24 hours and the evaporation variable is removed.

Swimming Pool Season is Here !!

Water leaks in huge swimming pools

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

I am working on a very large and complicated residential swimming pool which is leaking down approximately 3/4″ per day. Most of the plumbing in this pool has been pressure tested with no evidence of leaking. I am suspecting that there is some type of structural leak under approximately 50 ot 60 feet of stone where water cascades down into the pool. This stone work rises as high as 15 feet above the water level of the pool. This pool has a total of 16 pumps, including 10 large feature pumps, a Paramont floor cleaning system with approximately 50 cleaning heads. The rate of loss is consistant with the pumps running or not running.

Is My Pool or Spa Leaking?

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

This time of year many customers ask “is my pool leaking?”  It is very simple to determine if your pool is leaking because a 1/2 inch per day leak can easily equal several hundred gallons of water loss.  The bucket test is a way to test evaporation rates and water loss related to an actual leak in the swimming pool or spa.  View this 40 second video that will show you how to do it.
