My plumber recommended using American Leak Detection after he could not find a leak within my house. Scheduling an appointment was easy. They provided service within three days of my initial call. The Technician (Shane) was professional and courteous. He started by locating the water line, which wasn?t easy because the line ran under the patio, backyard, and the garage floor. Once Shane located the line, he applied forced nitrogen and isolated the leak area. The entire process took about an hour. Keep in mind?they don?t fix the leak ? they locate it.
Description of Work: American Leak Detection detected a water leak between my house and the water meter. The leak was “hidden” under the garage concrete slab.

It took a couple of weeks to get them out. They were very professional and found and patched the leak, but there was further leakage due to cracks in the pool / unevenness underneath. We had to replace the liner.

They sent out two guys. One did the pressure test on the plumbing which all checked out OK. Another guys was actually in the pool looking around for leaks and doing and quot;dye testand quot;. He patched some liner leaks, but the really BIG LEAK was behind the pool light. They repaired and came back in a couple days to re-install the light. Well, the light didn't sit in there quite right and they asked us what we thought. We asked them to come out again and see if they could seat the light back in there better. Well, they did and we couldn't be more pleased.
Description of Work: Found leak in pool and repaired. We had another pool company come out to do a "dye test" and we were told there were no leaks found. The next step was going to be a pressure test. Unfortunately when the pool company did that "dye test" no one was home to see what they did. We were trying to avoid digging up our inground plumbing because the "dye test" didn't show any leaks in the pool. So, we decided to try to get a second opinion. Another pool service company we contacted suggested that we call AMERICAN LEAK DETECTION. Thank goodness we called!!!!

The leak detection went well. They communicated well despite the hassles caused by a giant snowstorm, arrived on time, and got to work. Shane was professional, courteous, and clearly knew his stuff. They quickly found the leak and had it marked for the plumber to repair.
Description of Work: Provider pumped nitrogen through our water lines to locate a leak in the front yard in the main line between the water meter and our house.

The office manager was very friendly and professional. They dispached a technicial the following morning who arrived at the agreed upon time. The technician was extremely knowledgable and efficient. I had a leak in the main water line between the meter and the house with no evidence as to the location. The leak was located within a half hour by injecting nitrogen into the line and using their ultrasonic listening device - making it possible for me to successfully repair the line later that day.
Description of Work: The technician inspected the site, making no assumptions about valves holding or the potential of leaks within the home. Once I proved that the leak was occuring with the valve at the house off and holding, the technician proceeded to go through his proceedure to locate the leak with his equipment.

Jeff Matz (the owner of this franchise for Northern Alabama) performed a leak detection for a hot water leak in my two-year old home on a slab foundation. He has over 10 years of experience in leak detection pinpointed the leak within 30 minutes. After he finished, he called the plumber and told them his findings so they could determine the best method of repair. This work was covered under our home warranty so I did not pay, but was told by the plumber that the detection service typically costs around $325. I did not find any other company in the area that did this type of leak detection.

They fixed the leaks and since then we've had no excessive loss of water in the pool. We will contact them anytime we have issues with loss water to the pool. They were responsive, courteous, professional, and the price was appropriate for the work performed.
Description of Work: Our pool was losing water, a lot of water, every day. In the past, American Leak came out and we found leaks in the lines. They fixed those leaks in an exemplary manner. We contacted them to come out and check to see if we were having leaks in the lines again. They responded and was out within a couple of days. There were no leaks in the lines but they did a deep dive into the pool and found three cuts in the liner.

They are excellent. They don’t do plumbing. They just find the leak. They do what they say they will do. I could not compare their prices with any other company. I rate them high overall, and I will use them in future if needed.
Description of Work: We had a leak in our house which we could not detect. The leak was not inside the house. It was a water pipe leak that was somewhere in the yard and American Leak detection found the leak for us.

AMD located pipes under slab with sound equipment and tried to locate leak. After 3 hours, they told me we caught the leak too early and that the leak would need to get worse before they could locate it. We had installed floating hardwood floors 4 years ago complete with a very good cushion pad between the floor and slab. AMD returned again after letting the leak get worse and located the leak and marked an "X" with duct tape on the floor. I had pictures of the yard where the leak ultimately showed up in the green grass on one corner of the house. I told him everything I knew about the plumbing in the house.
Description of Work: Determined location of leak under house foundation slab.
