Customer Testimonials

Review Source: AngiesList.com
We used American Leak Detection in February because we had a leak in our swimming pool and it was losing a lot of water.
We spent $400 on that service. He came out and actually put on a diving suit because it was very cold. He went down and discovered the leak to be in the main drain, so he fixed it and we were very happy. He came out when he said he would, detected the leak, and fixed it. The technician that came out was very personable, very polite and solved the problem. There is nothing that we could say that was bad about him. In fact it turned out to be a lot less than what we thought it would be.

Description of Work: Did hydrostatic test of drain lines under the home slab upstream of a clean-out connection on the sewer line in the back yard. Also, checked for water loss from back yard pool out through pool light fixtures into the surrounding ground.
Member Comments: The service technician asked about the symptoms of the possible leak. After the discussion he offered to plug the sewer drain line and fill with water behind the plug to see if any obviously leaked out, which I had him do. That went very well. I was somewhat disappointed he could not go several feet down downstream of the cleanout connection with a balloon to test that far. That seems a relatively straightforward test similar to what we do in other situations. Instead he said we would have to dig up the line around the back yard - a bit extreme. He volunteered to check some other possibilities, which he did. That was a nice touch. Costs and timing were explained in advance and that all was to my satisfaction.

Description of Work: We used American Leak Detection to perform a hydrostatic test on a home we were looking to purchase.
Member Comments: We used American Leak Detection to perform a hydrostatic test on a home we were looking to purchase. The test cost $250 for 2 hours of time. I was concerned about the cost because typically I like paying a flat fee per service, instead of an hourly rate. They assured me the test would be completed within the 2 hours and they kept their word. They called the day before to confirm the appointment and then called again to confirm what specific time they would be out since they gave us a 4 hour window. Angel performed the test and he was very professional. He found the leak in the foundation under the laundry room and told us he would give us an estimate on how much it would cost to fix once he got back to the office to draw up a quote. He gave us a quote the next day and it was very reasonable. $2500 to repair all of the plumbing issues in the foundation. We didn't end up purchasing the home because the seller wouldn't go down in price.
My husband and I have found another home and had our offer inspected and have called American Leak Detection to perform a test on this home as well. We trust their work.

Description of Work: This is the second time we have used this service. Each time they have detected and repaired a leak in a below ground pipe
Member Comments: The second time they came back the plumber was not pleased with the patch job on the last repair, he did it again at no charge. I would highly recommend this company.
