Unfortunately my liner had hundreds of pin hole leaks which the provider felt was due to termites/bugs. Due to the amount of leaks found and the reason, they did not patch any holes and discounted the visit from $245 down to $200.
Description of Work: The provider checked my aboveground pool liner for leaks.

It was more work than anticipated due to the fact that there were old lines in the way and the break happened to be by an active return line, so the work area was tight/difficult. The fellow who did the job was plesant and knowledgeable. This is now the 2nd season since repair and I am happy to report we are leak free.
Description of Work: Above ground swimming pool. They were able to pinpoint exactly where leak was. They removed brick decking, replaced piping and reset bricks.

Didn't give me an estimate to start the location but I didn't ask either. $260 seemed pretty reasonable for the 45 min to 1 hr of work that they did and the tools that they used. Didn't seek out other quotes as we were in a bit of a bind and they came recommended by my plumber. They might be the only gig in town for this type of services.
Description of Work: They came out to locate a leak in my main water line from the curb to the basement. They were very punctual, courteous and really knew their business. They located the main under my driveway using radio frequency detection and then hooked up the computer to the line and measuring the length of the line were able to pinpoint the location of the leak to within about 5 feet of driveway. The line is sleeved in PVC and that made further localization difficult but I was happy to know the general location so my plumber doesn't have to dig out the whole line or under my foundation. These guys were very good and I would not hesitate to call them in the future.

Our inground pool had been leaking all summer. Usually just a couple of inches per week, but two or three times almost all the water leaked out!! It was incredibly expensive to keep adding water almost everyday, let alone refilling the dang thing several times. These guys came and found four holes and patched them and were gone in less than two hours. I was very impressed with the job they did. I was told upfront that the cost would be $500.00 ( unless they needed to purchase more materials to fix it, then it would be more). Yes, it was a bit expensive, but not compared to what we spent in water. I would recommend them to anyone with a problem with swimming pool leaks.
Description of Work: Two service guys came, found four holes in pool liner, patched them and were gone in less than two hours.

Very professional from start to finish. Took time to answer all my questions and I think their prices were very fair.
Description of Work: We recently purchased a house with a pool that was loosing water at about 1 inch per day. American Leak Detection was called to find leaks, both in the liner and/or underground. Found 1 major leak in liner and 4 minor ones. They repaired them and gave me some advice on preventing further leaks.

Overall, this was a good experience. I was losing 2 inches of water daily from my in-ground pool and could not find the leak. I called American Leak Detection and three other providers of pool leak detection services. Only American called me back same day. They have preset prices for their work. Within 2 days of my call they arrived as scheduled, found the leak and fixed it. Though they are expensive, I am happy with their work and responsiveness.
Description of Work: Performed full leak detection on an in-ground swimming pool. Pressure tested skimmer line and return line. Performed electronic leak detection on vinyl liner. Located one leaking hole in liner. Patched the leaking hole. Replaced an old patch as well.

Extremely professional, communicative, and neat. We doubt we could find as much expertise elsewhere. They consulted with sealant manufacturer to find best solution to one crack with a "gusher" of water rising one foot once it broke the surface. We had previously consulted a plumber and been sadly disappointed in his inability to find and fix the leak. We had used them before to test which cracks leaked, and put in temporary repairs. We recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Found and fixed leak in main drain by locating the leak, taking up about 2 feet of concrete deck, and replacing concrete. Pressure tested to be sure it was fixed. Also repaired about 25 feet of cracks in cement pool.
