Franchisee of the Year Award presented to Sean and Christian Macaulay

San Rafael, CA (Grassroots Newswire) – American Leak Detection franchise owners Sean and Christian Macaulay of San Rafael, Calif. were honored on September 14 by the International Franchise Association (IFA) with its Franchisee of the Year Award.

“The IFA is proud to recognize the commendable efforts of Sean and Christian Macaulay with the Franchisee of the Year Award,” said IFA Chairman Dina Dwyer-Owens. “The franchising community is fortunate for the outstanding contributions of these exemplary individuals who have helped bolster the growth of the industry.”

Franchise owner-operators representing nearly 50 franchise systems were recognized September 14 – 15 during the IFA’s Tenth Annual Public Affairs Conference in Washington DC for the contributions they have made to the development of franchising. Attendees met with members of Congress and Administration officials about issues important to franchising, business and continued economic growth.

“It is critical that lawmakers know the contribution franchising makes to the nation’s economy, particularly during these economic times,” said American Leak Detection President Stan Berenbaum. “Franchisees such as Sean and Christian Macaulay leave a positive and lasting impact on the communities they serve.”

According to a recent study conducted for the IFA by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the economic impact of franchising, there are more than 900,000 franchised businesses in operation across the country. These operations are indirectly responsible for providing 21 million jobs and generating $2.3 trillion in economic output.

Idaho Waterpark Saved by American Leak Detection

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Craig Jones and John Davis of American Leak Detection teamed up to find a leak at Roaring Springs Water Park in Meridian, Idaho.

Water parks have complex custom water distribution systems that cannot be shut off due to risks of property damage or massive water loss.

Roaring Springs Water Park had complained of water loss that was costing a lot of water, forty thousand gallons a day to be precise. That water loss was witnessed as a two in drop in the water level in the lazy river.

Roaring Springs had a low pressure leak which made it difficult to locate with electronic equipment, but with some know-how and thorough investigation, Craig and John were able to isolate the leak to be just behind the pool wall of one of the water slide landing pools.

Problem:

Lazy river was losing 2 inches per day which equals about 40,000 gallons per day lost.

Solution:

Leak was found in the return line to a water slide landing pool. 20 x 20 x 12 deep.

Recommended repair method:

Jackhammer the deck and dig to expose the damaged pipe, and replace the return line through the landing pool wall.
