Description of Work: I used American Leak Detection - Oregon to determine the cause of a leak.
Member Comments: They were fine. They did what they were supposed to do. They came in and tried to determine the cause of the leak, eliminate other reasons and narrow it down to a specific reason. The guy who came out to do the leak detection testing suggested that he could easily prove to me about where the leak was coming from under the garage. He suggested that he could drill a hole into the back of the wall behind the house. Then his drill broke and he left it at that with a little hold in the wall. It was not anything detrimental. They recommended me to a foundation expert. They gave me a thorough report on the leak detection testing and what their conclusion was. They gave me the name of a company that i ended up calling. That company came out and did something to address the leak issue. I would definitely recommend them for people who were about to spend a lot of money to resolve a leak issue.

Description of Work: They checked for leaks in our pool. We have a very unusual pool. They checked twice; the first time was about 4 years ago, the most recent was about 4 months ago.
Member Comments: The work turned out pretty well. They brought a technician in with a diving suit to go into the pool to find the leaks. Their price was reasonable. The patch they put on four years ago is still holding. We’ve had troubles with other companies in the past since our pool is so unusual, but American Leak did a good job.

Description of Work: They did a good job. They are expensive, but they did a good job. They do not do the repairs, but they did definitely find the leak for us.
Member Comments: It was not easy to find, but they did very a really thorough job. They are professional, courteous, and they kept at the job till they found the leak. They have several types of detection processes and when the normal type detection processes did not work they ended dup pumping helium gas through my water line. They had a device that could detect helium coming through the ground, which is how they found the leak.

Description of Work: Had massive leak somewhere in system. First plumber said it might be main water line coming into house and about $3,000 to fix. Called American Leak Detection and they found the leak pronto. Was leaking from secondary line hooked up to main line. They recommended someone to call, and even told me what to tell them on how to fix this massive leak. Needed to cap off secondary line only, as this line was going to unused hookup way out in backyard. I would highly recommend them as they saved me thousands of dollars, found and diagnosed the problem very quickly. Extremely professional and friendly, willing to take the time to find the problem and go the extra mile. Well worth the price.
Member Comments: EXCELLENT from start to finish.

Description of Work: Find a water leak that was running upwards of 30,000 gallons per month.
Member Comments: American Leak Detection (ALD) came to my home to find a water leak that was running upwards of 30,000 gallons per month. The serviceman arrived promptly and was courteous. He took time to explain the technologies that were utilized (I tend to be curious about those things). The leak was found and a marker was placed at the site of the leak for the plumber. The fee is fixed, which means that those like myself with quick, easy-to-find leaks will find it pricey while others with more complicated leak situations may find it a relative bargain. ALD is the only leak-detection service in the region, so unfortunately there is not much choice. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate to use them again should another leak come my way.

Description of Work: We called yesterday and they scheduled an appointment for the following day at 9am. The tech. arrived 10 minutes early. He discussed with us the issue we were having and began work promptly. We were losing app. 1 1/2" to 2" of water out of our in-ground pool per day. He performed testing on several things and quickly found the problem. A broken pipe under the stairs. We just finished with a remodel of our pool and apparently a pipe was broken when the new stairs were installed.
Member Comments: The experience went wonderful, we would definitely hire them again. I was worried after hearing how much the hourly charge was but in the end there was no need to worry with this company. The tech. was very efficient with his time

Description of Work: The company came to determine why my pool was loosing so much water. The website gives good examples of test you can perform yourself and when you call the company they make sure you have performed the tests and they want to know the results to help them determine the problem.
The service person came and asked about the test we have done and then asked me lots of questions to determine the best way to approach the problem. Based on what I said he did a pressure test on our return pipes and when that did not return a significant result he dove in to check all around the pool.
He found holes behind the ladder and showed me what he found. He also went around and checked all the patches in our pool for leaks. He determined the problem was behind our ladder. He fixed the problem and our pool has lost no water since.
Member Comments: The experience was great from talking to the person on the phone to setting up the appointment. the service person called and and said he could be there earlier than we scheduled. He was on time, very professional from start to finish
