Why Choose Our Leak Detection?

When you are dealing with a possible leak, you want more than guesswork. You want a team that can find the exact source without turning your home or building into a construction site. That is what we work to provide on every visit. We focus on locating the problem so repairs can be as targeted and efficient as possible.

American Leak Detection of Greater Cincinnati & Dayton is recognized as a world leader in non-invasive leak detection, with more than four decades of experience in this field. We do not treat finding leaks as an add-on to general plumbing. It is the center of what we do. This focus allows us to invest in advanced equipment, proven methods, and thorough training for our technicians.
Our technicians use tools such as acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, tracer techniques, and thermal imaging when appropriate. These methods help us track the path of water inside pipes, walls, and slabs so we can narrow down the likely leak point. The result is a more precise location and fewer areas that need to be opened during repair.
Cost is a major concern for most property owners, especially when they are already worried about repairs. That is why we follow a “Know Before You Go” approach to pricing. We work to provide clear, honest information about the inspection cost before we begin, so you can make informed decisions with no surprise fees.

Our team also understands that your time and property are important. We strive to arrive when we say we will, to complete the leak inspection within a reasonable timeframe, and to leave the work area as clean as possible. We treat your home, business, or municipal site with the same care we would expect for our own property.

Drain, Pipe & Wall Leak Services

Every property is different, and so is every leak. Some issues show up as slow drains or sewer odors. Others appear as damp spots in a basement, warm areas on a floor, or streaks on a ceiling. We provide inspection services for a wide range of situations, so you do not have to guess at what is going on behind the surfaces.

If you are worried about a drain line, our team can perform drain leak detection service to help identify breaks, cracks, or joint issues in waste and sewer lines. Recurring sewer smells, unexplained damp areas near floor drains, or persistent backups can point to problems that you cannot see. We use non-invasive methods to evaluate these conditions and to help narrow down where a leak or failure may be occurring within the system.

Many property owners are concerned about supply line issues and hidden piping that runs through walls, ceilings, and under slabs. We provide inspection support for these situations as well, using tools that listen for escaping water, measure pressure changes, or track temperature differences.

Common leak situations we help investigate include:

Water stains on ceilings, walls, or around windows that return after repainting
Musty odors, damp drywall, or warped flooring with no visible plumbing break
Areas of warmth on floors that may indicate a hot water line issue
Unusual wet spots in basements or crawlspaces, even in dry weather
Sewer smells or slow drains that suggest a possible drain or sewer line problem

Whether you manage a small business near the riverfront, own a historic Dayton home, or oversee a municipal facility, our goal is to provide careful, methodical leak inspection that helps you protect your property.

See What Our Customers Say

"Thank you for your excellent service and honesty of your technician."
“I would like to thank you and your technician for the excellent service you provided to me in detecting and repairing the leak in my swimming pool. As you may recall, I contacted you after another company did a pressure check and told me I needed to repipe the entire system--a job for which that company quoted me at $4000. Having just purchased the home two months prior, I certainly did not have that kind of money! I contacted your company for a second opinion. From my very first conversation with you, I was impressed by your knowledge and professionalism. Your tecnician was equally knowledgeable and professional. He tracked down the leaks in my pool, and yes, there was more than one. Fortunately, he determined that the plumbing had only minor leaks, and did not need the "major surgery" proposed by the other company. The biggest leak was in the vinyl liner, which he found and repaired as part of the test. Thank you for your excellent service and honesty of your technician. I have told everyone I know that if they think they have a leak, they should call you first. I wish I had!”

- D. Borcherding
"American Leak will be our first call if we still have issues....I will recommend your service to our friends."
“Wardway Pools referred American Leak Detection for my pool leak issue. I was very reluctant scheduling service from someone that I was not familiar because I have heard negative stories from friends who have received poor service/value from other pool services. You are very lucky to have Steve working for you. Because of his honesty and integrity, you will have my business when the next leak occurs in our pool and I will recommend your service to our friends. Steve arrived and very quickly was able to assess that the issue was likely with our heat pump. We are having the heat pump looked at and American Leak will be our first call if we still have issues. Thank you for being a company we can trust and not charging your customers unnecessarily.”

- Craig M.
"I was extremely pleased with the response and service I received."
“I received outstanding response and service. John who was the service professional arrived right on time. He was very professional and helpful and clearly explained what he was going to do. And, explained what he found during each step of his work. I was extremely pleased with the response and service I received. American Leak Detection is a company who I would certainly recommend and will certainly call when and if needed in the future.”

- Larry W.
