We Can Now Make the Invisible- Visible

Monday, February 4th, 2013

American Leak Detection announces our latest detection method- The Odor Control System.

Finding sewer odors can be time consuming. This patented smoke technology specializes in locating hidden leaks in concealed plumbing and drain lines, whether it’s in your home, business, multi-commercial building, restaurant, school or shopping mall.

American Leak Detection's Jimmy Carter operates the new Odor Control System

It offers an alternative to the old method which used smelly smoke bombs and disrupted activity. Don’t “bomb” your home with additional sulfuric smoke. This offers a pleasant and non-toxic citrus smell, so leaks can be located even during business hours.

Our proprietary smoke technology and expertise help us efficiently locate the problem area quickly, safely and easily.  Call us first if you smell a foul odor in common spaces when running drainage lines, or if you suspect a leak in the sewage system.

“Water Hogs” are identified through public records

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

Imagine you are sitting at your kitchen table sporting your bathrobe and fuzzy slippers while sipping coffee. You scan the front page of your local newspaper and a story on water conservation grabs your attention. But this story is different. It’s not just providing water saving tips, its naming names.

Your name. And address. And the exact amount of water your household used last year.

Is releasing this information and attempting to “shame” users into water conservation practices legal? In many states including Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Georgia and Florida, it is not only legal, but it is public information. Many times, these so-called “Hydro Hogs” names are published in local media outlets, on TV stations and online for everyone to read.

In many instances, having a large municipal water bill is understandable and can be attributed to expansive properties such as resorts, sports stadiums or public water parks. But many homeowners’ names fill these public lists and even though they may be large homes, there are multiple ways you can adopt preventive measures.

You can install efficient, or dual flush toilets and low-flow showerheads, check your home for leaks using the meter test and wash your car and water your lawn sparingly.

Have you been looking for a way to increase your business?  There is no better way than word-of-mouth.

Tom Fleming and Clay Caire of Business Network International will be sharing the secrets to success through “word-of-mouth” marketing and BNI during this meeting.

 

BNI is a business and professional networking organization whose philosophy is “Givers Gain” and its purpose is to exchange qualified business referrals that turn into new customers and clients amongst members.  It is the most successful organization of its type with over 5291 Chapters in 40 different countries.  Last year, BNI members passed over 5.6 Million referrals to one another which generated more than $2.3 Billion worth of business for its members!  If you would like to learn more about BNI before committing to attend, please review the international site at www.BNI.com.

 

BNI is unique because they only allow one person per profession to join a chapter.  Thus, once you’ve joined, there is no conflict in passing referrals, and you have eliminated your competition.  I have recently become a member an am exited about the business opportunities this system will create for me.

P.S.  Please bring a business associate who may be interested in finding out how to generate more business through word of mouth.  This organization is exciting.  In fact, I just heard that Tony Robbins says, “One referral is equal to 15 cold calls”.
