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.

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.

Dallas/Fort Worth Company Set to Assist Public Pools with Virginia Graeme Pool and Spa Safety Act Compliance

Friday, March 6th, 2009

(openPR) – New law requires all public pools to have an anti-vortex drain cover to prevent tragedies

Dallas, Texas – In the wake of the tragic death of 7-year old, Graeme Baker, the Virginia Graeme Pool & Spa Safety Act, directed at all public pool facilities, will go into effect on December 19, 2008. The new law requires all public pools to have an Anti-Vortex drain cover to prevent a tragedy, such as Graeme Baker’s, from happening ever again. American Leak Detection is honored to offer their superior service in the installation of Anti-Vortex drain covers and Anti-Entrapment Drains.

Graeme Baker, grand daughter of former US Secretary of James A Baker lll, died as a result of a powerful spa drain sucking her down and entrapping her underwater. Her preventable death led to federal legislation passed in 2007 that requires all public pools to install and maintain Anti-Vortex drain covers and Anti-Entrapment drains by the end of 2008.

With the majority of public pools in the Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas area planning to make the switch over to the Anti-Vortex, Anti-Entrapment drain in the Spring of 2009, American Leak Detection is at the forefront of this mandated and necessary change, educating themselves on proper installation and maintenance needed to ensure the correct use and functioning of the Anti-Vortex, Anti-Entrapment drains.
