Jeff Deel
Franchise Owner/Manager
Joined ALD in 2004
Jeff Deel is our franchise owner, along with his wife Trina. He also works as one of our technicians. He has a degree in Mine Engineering and also has training in industrial hygiene. Out in CA, he decided he needed a change of pace and scenery, so he and his wife moved to East Tennessee and took over the franchise in 2004. He always takes the extra time needed to help customers understand their leaks and feel comfortable that they are in good hands. He particularly loves working with utility companies and on municipality jobs. He is committed to giving the most professional, accurate, and courteous service possible.
Trina Deel

For sixteen years Trina has successfully managed the office, the technicians, and the customers, all while raising her two children. She continues to handle the "behind the scenes" work and organization. She is adept at scheduling, dispatch, management, and overseeing our company marketing. She is also the one who makes sure our supplies are ordered, our equipment is working, and our guys are on track. She is the key to our operations! In her free time, she loves spending time with her kids, family, and friends. She is also an avid mountain biker and loves being outdoors.

His persistence and sheer determination to detect underground and concealed water leaks has made him a valuable asset to our ALD team. He also serves in the US Army National Guard as a medic.

Caleb Stoika is one of our newest and most cheerful employees. He covers the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas. He is always willing to go that extra mile and help customers truly understand their leaks. Although his background has been in mechanics, he has been an asset to our company transitioning to Leak Detection. He still enjoys working on cars as a past time and, on nice days, he and his wife love to ride his motorcycle and enjoy the open road!

Katrina, not to be confused with Trina, is our dispatch operator and customer service representative. She is the person you will most likely talk to when you call and is always cheerful and friendly. Leak detection may be new to her, but she has an extensive background in HVAC, dispatch, and customer service. In her free time, you will catch her either singing online with friends from around the world, out in her gardens, or spending time with her husband, four kids, two grandkids, five cats, and a bearded dragon.
