Technicians You Can Count On

Our technicians arrive on time, finish jobs within the agreed timeframe, and leave your property clean. That standard isn’t accidental. Every technician completes a rigorous training program that puts them among the most skilled in the industry, and for over 50 years, our national organization has built its own equipment and continuously researched new technologies because nothing commercially available could locate leaks with the precision our method demands. That same drive for accuracy is what separates us from a standard plumbing call.

Leak Types We Locate in Brighton Properties

A plumbing leak can hide almost anywhere. We diagnose leaks across the full range of locations a Brighton property might present:

Pipe and plumbing leaks: Pressurized supply lines throughout the home or building, located without opening walls unnecessarily
Wall leaks: Hidden moisture behind finished surfaces that standard inspection can’t confirm
Drain and sewer leaks: Drain-line failures affecting both residential and commercial properties
Slab leaks: Lines running beneath concrete foundations, where leaks are among the hardest to detect without invasive excavation
Underground leaks: Below-grade supply and irrigation lines that lose water silently and steadily

Our proprietary detection technology reaches each of these areas without destructive digging or unnecessary demolition.

Serving Homes & Businesses Throughout Brighton, MI

Brighton sits in Livingston County, and the properties here reflect real variety. Downtown Brighton’s historic building stock around the Mill Pond means older plumbing systems that can develop wall leaks and pipe leaks in ways newer construction rarely does. Closer to Island Lake Recreation Area, lake-adjacent properties often include pools, irrigation lines, and underground plumbing that can develop hidden leaks. Whether we’re working in a century-old commercial building or a newer subdivision, our non-invasive leak detection services adapt to whatever the property presents.

Accurate Detection Before a Single Repair Begins

Our Know Before You Go approach means honest, upfront pricing before we start. You know what the inspection involves and what it costs. Because our proprietary detection technology pinpoints the exact leak location, the plumber or contractor who follows us can target that precise spot rather than cutting or digging in multiple places. Non-invasive leak detection can save money, reduce damage, and protect property values by removing the guesswork from every repair job.

Call American Leak Detection of Southeast Michigan at (734) 977-1005 to book a leak inspection in Brighton, Michigan. Our team is ready to find what others can’t, without the destruction.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

Some leaks announce themselves with a wet ceiling or a burst pipe. Most don’t. A water bill that rises without any corresponding increase in use is one of the clearest signals that water is escaping somewhere unseen. Musty odors, damp spots on walls or floors, and warped baseboards point to moisture that has been accumulating for some time. If you can hear running water when every fixture in the house is off, that’s worth taking seriously.

Two quick checks can help you confirm a suspicion before calling a leak detection company. Our website offers a water meter test and a bucket test that homeowners can run themselves. If either one suggests a problem, bring in professional leak detection rather than waiting to see whether the issue resolves on its own.

Why Non-Invasive Detection Protects Your Property and Your Budget

Traditional leak-finding methods often mean cutting into walls or excavating landscaping in the general area of a suspected pipe leak, then repairing whatever was disturbed in the process. In many cases, that approach costs more and causes more damage than the leak itself. Non-invasive leak detection finds leaks without the destruction associated with traditional methods, keeping repair costs focused on the actual problem and nothing else. Water damage that spreads while a leak goes undetected can be far more expensive than a precise, early repair, and knowing the exact location before work begins can help protect your property’s long-term value as well.

"Quick, Professional an Courteous Company"
“Just wanted to leave a review about the company. They came out quickly, assessed the leak problem, and promptly made an appointment to come back and fix the leak. Ian was professional and courteous and showed me the problem and what was replaced. The office staff was very friendly and courteous. Because there was not cement removal and replacement needed which was originally considered in the estimate, they reduced the price accordingly. I highly recommend this company.”

"Leak problem"
“Just wanted to thank Steve Zendnr what a great guy! Found our problem immediately sent report to our insurance company and problem solved. Steve is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great job!”

- Don Maige
“Amazing. Incredible. Professional. Prompt. Any adjective to describe perfection can be further inserted. To say I am impressed is an understatement. I called ALD at 9am due to what I thought would be a broken underground pool line. Trish took the call and immediately got us scheduled. She was efficient and pleasant on the phone and covered all bases. She got us into an afternoon appointment which we greatly appreciated. Steven arrived to our home around 3pm and went right to work. Within 30 minutes he found the issue. To my extreme surprise and delight, it was not a broken line under the ground. Instead, an o-ring had gone bad. He located it, fixed it and tested the entire system for any further issues. Finding none, I celebrated not having to dig up an area of my yard once again. Steven is a complete professional with an awesome personality to match. He handled everything with such a level of care. He and Trish both deserve raises :) Thank you so much again to Trish, Steven and the rest of the team at American Leak Detection. You made a stressful situation simply disappear.”

- Derek Mackie
"Excellent Professional Service"
“My pool was down for seven years. We were able to get it completely resurfaced and up and running this year. After being down for so long, I knew there could be leaks in my lines. I was referred by Jim Garris Construction, who did the work on my pool, to call American Leak Detection because they are the best. Shawn was the technician that came to my house and was completely professional and very through. He spent the necessary time, not rushing at all, to give the complete detailed results of his inspection. He took time to show me everything he did, why he did it and made sure I had a clear picture of what was needed. I highly recommend American Leak Detection and you should ask for Shawn.”
