Northbridge begins aggressive water conservation program

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

As of May 1, 2011 restrictive water use guidelines have gone into effect for the town of Northbridge, according to The Northbridge Times.

These water restrictions prohibit the use of water outside from 9 AM – 5 PM from May 1st – September 30th and were issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection through the Water Management Act Permit.

Lawn sprinklers are now no longer permitted to be operated between 9AM – 5 PM.  Please remember that lawn sprinkler systems often develop water leaks.  These water leaks can be costly, and in some cases, cause damage.

If you suspect that you have a water leak, in your sprinkler system or in another part of your house, please contact American Leak Detection today at 978.465.3778 so we can pinpoint all of your water, gas and sewer leaks.

Pool Leak Indicators

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

With Spring firmly in place in the Northeast and pools starting to open, it is wise to keep in mind how to keep pools running smoothly and efficiently.  The best way to do that is to ensure that there are no leaks in a pool.  Opening a pool is the perfect time to check for leaks in the pool.

But where to look? Finding leaks in pools can be a time consuming and difficult process, unless the proper training and certification has been received, similar to the training program that American Leak Detection technicians complete.

If you think you may have a leak, it is a good idea to first run a bucket-test, which we have detailed instructions on performing through this link.

Some indicators of a leak are:

  • Higher water usage rates; if the pool’s auto-fill is constantly kicking on, there may be a pool leak.
  • Chemicals needing to be added to the pool on a more-than-regular basis.
  • Algae in the pool could also be a symptom of  a pool leak.

When a pool is closed for the winter, it is very important to make sure that all of the water has been drained from the pool; in the event that there is water left behind, it can freeze over the cold winter months, which leads to cracking pipes.  Those cracked pipes can lead to pool leaks that are often found only when the pool is reopened for the Spring.

To make sure that your pool season is leak-free, give American Leak Detection a call today so we can perform a water leak audit for you, on your pool, spa, home, or all three!

Water conservation

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Lancaster, MA is joining in on the water conservation movement.

The Department of Public Works has issued a statement requesting residents to conserve water by installing water saving fixtures throughout their home to reduce their water consumption.

While they hit on a lot of important points, such as reducing the amount of water used to water the lawn, they do not touch on the option of having a water leak audit done by a company like American Leak Detection.

Water leak audits are a thorough inspection of an entire house, from the sidewalk out front, all the way to the back fence, including a complete inspection done inside a home in addition to checking the pool or hot tub for leaks.

Many times, cracks in pipes causing water leaks can be very small.  While small in size on a pipe, a substantial amount of water can flow through the crack, increasing consumption rates and water bills.

American Leak Detection is proud to offer our new Membership Program for homeowners.  The Membership Program has four different levels, ranging from Basic to Premier.  The advantages of being a Member of this program is front-of-the-line service for leak detection work, in addition to an annual water leak detection audit, if a Standard, Priority or Premier membership package is purchased.

The assurance that everything will be checked for leaks means that anything that happens underground, behind walls or in foundations over the winter, when cracking pipes are most likely, will be quickly spotted by our trained technicians, saving you time, money and increased water bills if the leaks go undetected.

Workers fixing frozen pipes find almost $1 Million dollars

This Wednesday, in El Paso, Texas, workers found close to one million dollars inside the wall of a condo. According to the El Paso Times, they were called in to fix frozen pipes that had burst due to the recent low temperatures. Next time call us first!

The low water reservoirs in El Paso have caused the Water Utilities officials to ask people to conserve water and fix plumbing and pipe leaks. Every little bit of water conservation helps, and will reduce your high water bills as a bonus.
