"They showed up on time and gave good advice with a fair price."
“This is a fair and honest company. They showed up on time and gave good advice with a fair price. They can be trusted to give accurate information.”

- Alda F.
"They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet."
“I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”

- Sandi T.
"I can't say enough good things about their service!"
“I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”

- Carolyn R.
"After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel."
“Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”

Why Hidden Leaks Are a Particular Risk in Shasta County

Shasta County’s soils expand with winter rains and contract during the region’s dry summers. That seasonal ground movement stresses underground pipes and slab foundations year after year, and it’s a well-documented driver of hidden leak development. A leak that begins as a hairline crack in a pressurized line can migrate under a slab or through a wall for months before any surface sign appears.

The county’s varied property stock adds complexity. Slab-foundation homes in Redding and Anderson carry different risk profiles than rural properties on older well and septic infrastructure, and both differ from recreational and agricultural properties near Shasta Lake where pools, fountains, and irrigation systems are common. Hard water mineral buildup accelerates pipe wear across the county, particularly in water heaters and older plumbing lines. Each of these conditions calls for detection methods calibrated to the specific leak type and property situation, not a general plumbing diagnosis.

Traditional leak diagnosis often means cutting into walls or breaking through concrete to find a source that a detection provider can pinpoint without any of that damage. Our non-invasive techniques protect your walls, floors, slabs, and landscaping throughout the process. Accurate location before any repair work begins eliminates the guesswork that drives unnecessary costs and helps prevent the secondary damage that exploratory demolition causes.

Types of Leaks We Detect for Shasta County Customers

Not every leak looks the same, and not every leak requires the same detection approach. Our team handles the full range of residential and commercial leak types using advanced technology and advanced equipment rather than exploratory demolition.

Hidden Water & Plumbing Leaks

Leaks behind walls or beneath slabs frequently show no visible signs until water damage is already extensive. Unexplained spikes in your water bill, warm spots on a concrete floor, or damp drywall are common early indicators. We use acoustic and electronic detection methods to locate the source without opening walls or breaking concrete.

Slab Leaks

Slab leaks are particularly common in areas with expansive soils like those found across Shasta County. Water migrating under a concrete slab can undermine the foundation before the leak surfaces. Early detection can limit both the repair scope and the structural risk.

Sewer Leaks

Sewer leaks can contaminate soil and, in some situations, groundwater. They’re difficult to pinpoint without electronic or acoustic detection equipment, and delaying identification can extend both the contamination risk and the eventual repair cost.

Pool & Spa Leaks

A pool or spa can lose thousands of gallons before the source is identified. The leak is often in underground plumbing rather than on a visible surface, which means a visual inspection alone won’t find it. We use pressure testing and advanced equipment to locate the source without unnecessary excavation.

Cause & Origin / Mystery Leaks

When the source of moisture is unknown, whether for an insurance claim, a property transaction, or a persistent problem that hasn’t been explained, a Cause & Origin / Mystery Leaks investigation systematically eliminates possible sources using advanced equipment. The result is a documented answer rather than a guess.
