Non-Invasive Detection with a 30-Day Service Commitment

American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama provides residential plumbing leak detection throughout Southern Alabama. As The Original Leak Specialist™, the American Leak Detection brand built its own proprietary detection technology over 50 years because nothing on the market could locate leaks accurately without tearing up property. Our local operation brings that same technology and more than 20 years of Southern Alabama experience to every appointment.

Every inspection uses non-invasive leak detection services: air pressure testing, acoustic listening, moisture meters, and thermal imaging when the situation calls for it. Typical location accuracy is within approximately 3 feet, so the plumber you hire for repairs can open exactly what needs to be opened and nothing more. That’s Leak Detection Without Destruction™.

Signs of a Plumbing Leak in Your Home

Hidden leaks in pressurized plumbing, slab lines, walls, and underground systems can cause structural damage and mold growth long before anything visible appears. Montgomery homeowners on concrete slab foundations are especially vulnerable to slab leaks, where wet patches near the foundation or soggy yard sections may be the only external sign. Other indicators that warrant a professional inspection include:

Warm spots on the floor with no obvious heat source
An unexplained spike in your water bill
Spongy or soft walls and floors
Audible running water when no fixtures are in use
Cracks appearing in walls or floors
Sudden mildew growth or persistent musty odors
Unexplained drop in water pressure
Warped or buckling flooring sections
Unusually green or wet patches in the yard
Soggy soil near the foundation

If any of these sound familiar, schedule a professional leak detection inspection before water damage has a chance to compound.

Minor leak issues can quickly get out of hand, even leading to mold growth if left untreated, and we don’t want you to wind up in that situation. Contact us online today or call (334) 384-8221 for answers to your questions!

Why Montgomery Homeowners Choose Us

Non-invasive methodology: air pressure testing, acoustic listening, moisture meters, and thermal imaging narrow the location to within approximately 3 feet
30-day service commitment: if the issue persists after detection, we return at no additional charge

Montgomery homeowners have called us after a slab leak was found and marked so they could hand a precise location to their plumber.

That’s what the written report is built around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What If I Need to Reschedule?

There’s no fee to reschedule. Call us and we’ll move your appointment without any penalty.

Can I Use My Homeowner’s Insurance to Cover Leak Detection?

If your insurer is paying for the service, the best path is to have them contact us directly to set up the appointment. If you prefer to pay on-site and seek reimbursement afterward, we accept payment at the time of service and can provide documentation to support your claim. The post-visit Report and Work Authorization are both useful for that process.

Can You Detect Leaks in My Irrigation System or Sewer Line?

Irrigation leak detection is available up to the solenoids. Low-pressure drip tubing beyond the solenoids falls outside what our methods can reliably detect. For sewer lines, we use a residential static pressure test. If the static test comes back positive, we proceed to locate and camera the line.

What Should I Do to Prepare for the Appointment?

Clear access to your water shutoffs and the area where you suspect the leak. That lets our technician make full use of the appointment window. We handle the rest.
