I called and was told they were several weeks out and I agreed to be put on the schedule. My wife stayed home to be there when they arrive, WHICH THEY DID'NT, I called and they said they had no record of us calling although my iPhone log verified I did-they said they would ' call back tomorrow' to reschedule, THEY DID NOT. Thanks for wasting my time, right?

They were able to locate the leak using all of their high tech equipment, which included a thermal camera and different types of sound equipment. They feel pretty confident on the area marked, so now I need to hire a plumber to jackhammer the area and repair the leak. If for some reason this isnt the area, they assured me they would come back at no charge when the plumber is here to re-evaluate the situation. I will post an update when the work is completed by the plumber to let everyone know if indeed they saved a lot of demolition trying to locate a pesky pin hole leak.
Description of Work: I knew I had a leak somewhere in my bathroom or at least in the area. It was a hot water leak because the floor felt warm in certain areas. I am on a slab, so I didnt want to guess or hire a plumber to guess and tear up a porcelain floor I recently put in.

They were prompt and very professional. I felt this was money well spent as the repair for this would entail cutting a hole through the foundation in my kitchen so it was important to me to have this leak pinpointed as closely as possible. When the repair was made, the leak was within 8-12and quot; of where it had been marked.
Description of Work: I had a water leak in a pipe below my foundation. They determined the leak was in the cold water line and then using radio detection they tracked where the cold water line was and marked it with tape. They then induced nitrogen through the master bath and with an electronic microphone located the leak in the kitchen. They marked the leak location with tape.

After leaving several messages and after several days my plumber called them and they came the next day. There were problems locating the leak. At the first marked location the plumber cut the first hole in the floor found no leak there. I called and left a message and explained the situation when the technician called back. The technician came and after an hour of extensive searching he marked another location which was at least 7 feet away in another room. The plumber cut a hole at the second location there was no leak there either; but there were some signs of moisture. Due to lack of time to have Leak Detectors come back the plumber then cut another hole at a location about 24and quot; away and found the leak. There was considerable extra cost due to the additional holes having to be cut into the foundation and carpet having to stretched at the first hole. I probably should have called back a third time but I was out of time due to work issues. This vendor called me and discussed the issues and agreed that there were problems and has made a full refund for the services rendered; they have proven that they are an honest service provider and are sincerely concerned with providing excellent service.
Description of Work: The provider pumped nitrogen gas into the plumbing from a faucet then listened for the sound of the gas flowing from the leak in the pipe and marked the leak.

When I phoned the company and spoke with the manager and explained the problem they set up an appointment. The Provider checked the water lines using air pressure to locate the leaks. The technician was thorough and found the leak locations. Water was turned off since this is a HUD property and we were unable to test the actual water lines until the leaks were found. American Leak Detection does exactly what they are suppose to do and that is to locate leaks, they do not repair water lines. I would use this company again. I am a realtor and this work was performed at a property being purchased by my client.
Description of Work: American Leak Detection tested lines for possible leak and used pressure testing as the water was turned off. Air was pumped into the main water line and several areas detected small leaks such as faulty faucets, inoperable valves and a faucet in master bath that needed replacement.

Mike and coworker (sorry don't remember his name) made time to come out before Mike would be out of town for the next two days. They listened to my problem, hooked up a line to my washer spigot and immediately found that the leak was right below where the water was coming up. Mike then took the time to cut out some of the drywall and wrapped a towel so that water would come into the garage as opposed to going down the wall. Then they took the time to move my washer/dryer into the garage so that I would not have to. I really appreciated that! They were very professional but had a wonderful attitude. If it wasn't for the plumbing issue, it would have been a pleasure to deal with them!!

They were quick to come out located the leak but were wrong about where the actual main plumbing lines were.
Description of Work: They were out the next day to detect my leak. They did locate the leak however they located the lines wrong. They said they ran through the garage and up to the main panel in my house. All my estimates were based on this accept one company that didn't believe they were in the garage. I had to pay to have another company come out to truly locate the plumbing lines which were located outside and around the house vs under the garage like they indicated. The were correct in locating my leak however.

After I explained what information I had in regards to the source of the leak, the technicians were able to detect the source of the leak by using an instrument that can detect moisture in a wall. One of the technicians was able to get in our crawl space and saw evidence of moisture in there. They were able to find out exactly where the water was coming in the house.
Description of Work: The technicians arrived promptly and were able to tell me exactly the source of the water leak in our home. They then advised me how to get the problem resolved when I schedule a roofer. I do think $365 is pricey for a service call, however, at least I now know how to proceed.

Other people who repair pools use these folks to find leaks, so it was recommended that I go straight to the source. Leak was fixed, but concrete work initially (bad day, rain, etc.) was not good. After a call, I was overwhelmed with how quickly they not only fixed the problem but also made sure it was ok, and sent me a small gift. Great customer service.

We are thankful the company was able to precisely locate the leak, so we only had to disturb a small section of concrete. Altho the place they repaired is somewhat noticeable, the concrete is level and matches as best it can. This method of repair is much preferred to replacing an entire section of the concrete deck and tearing up the yard.
Description of Work: We were referred to American Leak Detection by a pool service company when we experienced a leak in our pool. Our pool is an in-ground fiber glass pool, installed in 2000. Starting with my first phone call this company has been knowledgeable and courteous. American Leak Detection pinpointed the leak under the concrete deck of the pool. They cut a hole about 18in square to access the pipe, repaired the pipe and replaced the concrete. They also returned to add anti freeze to the lines they repaired. All this occurred at the end of the swim season. We feel the price was reasonable as they made three or four trips to our house, completing several hours of labor. We had contacted the installer of our pool for a price quote and they offered to repair the leak for $6000.00!

I had an inspection on the house that I did end up buying and was concerned that there might be a water leak in one of the pipes under the slab. American Leak Detection determined that there was no leak. They came out really quickly. It was expensive. They were there for half an hour. If I had had a leak, they would have saved me a lot of money, so it was worth it.

I called them at around 11am and they were at my house by 1pm the same day. The technician found the leak rather quickly - within 20 minutes and walked me through what he did and why he was confident the leak was where he said it would be. I am happy to say he nailed it - to be more accurate he would have to have X-ray vision. He used compressed air hooked up to the hot water side of my plumbing and listened for rushing air and bubble - the sound was rather loud - indicating it was close to the surface. His job made me feel better about hiring a plumber to break into the slab and know that I was not going to have holes all over my house. They also aoofer a 30 day guarantee. They can only find one leak at a time so if there was more than one leak, then they would come back and find the second at no additional charge. The leak was in my laundry room and I ahd removed the washer and dryer as well as removed the water damaged basebaords and some drywall - this made things easier for him and ultimately for me. The better job they do detecting the leak, the better off you will be!
Description of Work: They located a plumbing leak in my concrete slab and verified that it was only the hot water side that was leaking.

We didn't get the problem solved, our pool still leaks. They went out and found some leaks here and there. But the pool always had some leaks in it. The job was not concluded. We are considering someone else this summer. They were a very busy company and they were hard to schedule. We were not satisfied as the job was never really concluded. I can't say much about quality when the job was not done. I have no complaints about their professionalism. They may be the only company in town so I don't have a choice. I might not get it fixed I will get the whole thing re-done. That's the only service I will use them again for but instead of detecting leaks, I won't have anyone for that I will resurface the whole pool.
Description of Work: I used the service of American Leak Detention – Indianapolis about 5 years ago. We were having some leaks in our pool and their job was to come out and determine where the leaks were.

Response from AMERICAN LEAK DETECTION- INDIANAPOLIS
The first time American Leak Detection (ALD) came to the member's home was in 2005. Our customers are told when they schedule that their pool must be full, clean and clear. This is imperative for a structure test to be performed as we visibly inspect each area of an entire pool structure. We did a complete electronic leak detection on his pool. There were no plumbing leaks at the time of our detection. A complete structure test was unable to be performed due to the pool being cloudy. However, we did find a leak on the return face plate and applied epoxy to the area of the leak. We instructed customer to clean the pool and we would return to complete our services. Approximately 2 weeks later, we returned and completed our structure test to find no additional leaks. ALD marked the water level at that time and instructed customer to monitor for water loss and call if further assistance was needed. The next time ALD was called to his home was in 2009, four years later. Again, we did a complete electronic leak detection to find that the pool's horizontal and vertical seams were leaking. ALD does not repair seams so we instructed the member who to call for his seams to be resealed. It is important for customers to note that ALD has warranties for all services rendered. If a leak persists, we will come back at no charge if the customer calls us within 30 days of service. In addition, it is important for the customer to monitor their pool for this very reason. Had we known this pool continued to leak, we would have came back at no charge and continued to resolve the problem. In this situation regarding the leaking seams, until all seams are re-sealed, the pool will continue to lose water, and it would have been a waste of time and money for all involved to continue testing this pool if seams were not repaired. ALD stands behind their warranties and remains loyal to their customers. We would be happy to assist the member with his continued pool problems.

It was a complicated situation because it turned out that it couldn’t be fixed without pulling the tub out. They did diagnose exactly what was going on. I was satisfied with their service. It helped me figure out that I have a bigger project than I thought. I would use their services if I have a pool or spa anymore.

Description of Work: it was two days before a home wedding in our house and the main water line in house sprang a leak. it was starting to buckle newly finished floors in the kitchen and it leaked through the basement. the owner came out that day and found the leak.He was able to locate a part we needed to fix it and came back out later that same evening to complete the work. we had hired them the previous summer to detect a leak in the pool area as well. i just can't say enough nice things about this company.

Overall they did a great job. When they came in they introduced themselves. Ask several questions and went right to work. They didn't waste any time and found the problem quickly.
Description of Work: I called them about a wet carpet in our office and we suspected a possible leak in the water line under the slab. They came out the same day in the afternoon. They asked some questions to gather some information and did a quick check with their equipment and determined that the service line was not leaking. They did a check with moisture sensor and found water behind the wall. After asking permission they cut two holes in the wall. They found the source of the leak to be a faulty drain line from an AC/Heat unit upstairs. They pointed out the problem.

A huge leap in the water bill indicated there was a water leak somewhere but we couldn't find it. The technician came out and determined it was not an indoor leak. Then he traced the incoming water service, quickly finding an underground leak. While the price was steep, it was a fair price to find a serious problem.
