TEXAS LEAK DETECTIONS

Everything turned out great. Other people I had provide estimates told me they would probably need to break up my deck, etc but David worked around it and did straight line through my grass. David is a perfectionist that does everything more than right. Waynette, his wife works the office and was also very helpful and friendly. David upgraded my backwash valve and plumbing. He was very responsive in coming out for an estimate and in doing the job. I will be having him install a salt system and ozonator for me in the near future. I would not hesitate to recommend him and just did for a neighbor who has a leak in her irrigation system. Not sure if he does those or not but told her to call him.

Texas Leak Detection and Mediterranean Pools REALLY knows their business. Once we negotiated scope of work to be completed (which included a lot of unknowns) the work began IMMEDIATELY. We had multiple leaks above and below ground and TLD found them all and repaired each one within quoted price. Installed new light fixture and corrected previous grounding faults as well as replaced valves and re did plumbing making the pool nicer than I EVER remember it looking since I owned it. The other "pool guys" we worked with OVER THIRTEEN YEARS should be ASHAMED at what they didn't know about pools and plumbing next to TLD! The only thing I could complain about was communication was sometimes lacking, but OH MY GOODNESS was it worth the trouble. No wonder this guy is so hard to reach! Be ready for miracles once completed!

He did not mind taking the time to explain the cause of the problem and how to fix it if it occured again. Shared his experience on doing some routine maintenance that would help avoid the problem in the future.

Never used. Never could get scheduled because this is busy season for pool guys.

I sent 2 e-mails and left 3 voice mail messages describing my situation and what needed to be fixed. They never responded at all! Maybe they do not need the business.

We made an appointment and he didn't show or call. I called him and he said he had a job run over. That's understandable, but he should have called. We rescheduled for the next morning and he didn't show. again. He told me he was very busy and I was expecting too much! Very unresponsive and unprofessional. Not sure how he stays in business.

I called TLD to come out and find a leak in my pool. I was already warned by my pool cleaning guy this could get pretty expensive so I was nervous about the costs. David, with TLD, came out along with a 2nd technician and quickly found the leak. Not only did he find the leak but he repaired it at no additional cost; he was very honest in informing me the problem would not require any major work so it would be included with the price of the service call! After seeing what an honest person he is, I trusted David with additional work (electrical) to be done on my pool; he took his time and did the job right. I will be referring TLD to all my pool-owning friends, finding TLD is like finding a quality mechanic that is both honest and reasonable, you become a customer for life! Thanks TLD!

Fixed all the things asked of him

I called to get an appt. Received a return call and scheduled an appt. for May 3 @ 3pm. At 3:22 I called to see why the person did not arrive. I left a message at that time and again the next day. I did not receive a return call. Have not been in touch with this company since then.

From our first conversation, David impressed me as a very honest businessman. His attention to detail coupled with his hard work ethic provided me with the best job I have ever received from any contractor in my 15 years as a homeowner. David personally was on site overseeing all work being done. He worked late into the day to make sure the work was completed on time and to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Texas Leak Detection.

Trey came out on Tuesday afternoon and checked out the equipment to determine the problem. The heater had been out for a year or more and the pump had just gone out over Memorial Day weekend when we were out of town. He returned on Wednesday at noon, exctly when he said he would, and repaired both the heater and the pump. The pump needed a new motor and the heater connections were corroded due to lack of use. Trey instructed us to turn on the heater occasionally to keep corrosion at bay and it will work fine. He told me David would be out on Friday to do the leak detection. David arrived Friday before noon and started the process of searching for the leak. He hadn't even started the pressure test before he figured it out. We have a bad case of the spa tile grout at the coping pulling away, which we had seen but figured it would be repaired when we remodel our pool. Not only was water getting out there but below that in the tile grout itself there was a crack that also turned out to be leaking. When the pump is on it leaks....he did a dye test to show the dye sucking into the cracks. David was 99% sure that was it, but since I was paying for a leak detection test he gave our pool the full treatment. Pressure tested all the lines, checked the light, the skimmer area and all of the connections in the pool and at the equipment. I mostly sat out there the whole time and asked a million question and wrote everything down to tell our pool remodeler. David was patient and informative. I feel like a went to pool school....it was great. When he pressure tested the lines about a foot of plaster was blown out that had been in there since the pool was built. He pretty much cleaned out all debris that had accumulated in places we can't access. He also noticed our filter gauge was broken so he replaced that for free and labeled all of our connections at the equipment since we have a manual system and all the markers had worn away. I also received a detailed report via email on Friday night to give to our pool remodeler. Over all....one of the best contracters I have ever had at my home......and there have been many over the years. I will be having him back to repair a problem with air to the spa and possibly add LED lighting. When ever we have an equipment problem, I will be calling David. I highly recommend him and his crew. Oops, almost forgot....I had the Angie's List $50 off coupon, but didn't want to use it because I felt he went above and beyond what was expected....he deducted it from his $350 charge and gave us the gauge......

We thought we had a leak because we noticed our levels of water decreasing. We also thought our filter was leaking sand because we had "dust" all over the pool. David and his assistant came all the way from Katy, took a look at our pool and our returns, and told us we had algae... Said it didn't look like a leak, but gave us our option if we really wanted to go ahead and run a test. They did open up our filter at our request and checked it out. We didn't really want to believe it was algae at first because we had kept chlorine rather high :( We didn't run the test, but we followed their advice, shocking with dry chlorine, and after a week of sustained shock guess what, we finally got blue water again. It wasn't sand - it was algae. As far as the water levels, we realize now that a lot of it was evaporation (sun covers fixed some of it), but also a couple of leaking pipes.

I had used this company last year to help detect a pool leak which they found and solved. The pool and spa is 30 years old and there was additional work which needed done. At the pool leak visit we made an action list and I got a quote. I developed a problem with the multi purpose valve which prompted a call to David. David took my call on a Sunday, shocking and wonderful. I forwarded him a copy of the original action plan which did not include the multi purpose valve. I decided to have all work done at this time. The heater had not worked for a number of years and needed replaced. The spa blower did not work. The pool pool light had not worked in years. There was an issue with the main drain and spa drain which needed to be brought up to code. David and his crew handled each and every issue. And as is always the case with something this old, nothing is as easy as it should be. Gas lines had to be brought up to code. Electrical work needed corrected from a previous job. All of the plumbing had to be re-plumbed to go with the new filter and blower. I have finally found a trustworthy, honest pool repair company.

David and his team did a great job. The final results look very neat and presentable. I was afraid it would be a necessary eye sore but they did an excellent job at fixing the drainage issue and making it pretty at the same time. The crew was friendly and their pricing was competitive and customer service was very professional. Would certainly recommend them for any pool repairs.

I called David and even though he was booked he came the next day for what he thought would be a "small" job. I was getting air in the system and was sure I had an underground leak in the pipes that could only be found with a pressure test. I have old equipment and he quickly realized I needed the plumbing updated before any pressure test was done. I believe other companies would have done a pressure test and then say the plumbing needed updating, thus making more money. He saved the cost of a pressure test because once the plumbing was fixed we were good. He was very friendly and for the work he did this was a great price. I would recommend to anyone with a pool.

Did a very thorough job taking time and explained what he was doing. Made on spot repairs and advised on further repairs.

Great job,leak is fixed pool running.

I called four (4) different companies on Angie's List. After interviewing each company, I decided to go with Texas Leak Detection. They were honest, did not try to talk me into an entire pool pressure test, but instead, listened to what was happening, look at what was happening, came up with a solution and fixed the problem. The other companies I called, wanted to do an entire Pool Pressure Test for hundreds of dollars, and then charge me to repair the problem on top of that. Texas Leak Detection is honest, fair and I will use them again.

It went great. I wasn't happy to be spending money on the pool at that time of year, but the pool technician (Miguel Zata), could not have been nicer. He was extremely polite, capable, and efficient. He explained everything to me, and found the leak very quickly.

They were punctual and did what they said they would. The work was well done, they cleaned up well, it was a pleasant experience.

Went great. We swapped a number of emails over a month or so. David provided me good information so I could looke at equipment choices and he would answer all my wuestions about different products. When I finally decided, he gave me a great quote, including a 10% Angies list discount and we scheduled the work. The removal of the old panels and mounting of the new one was done extremely neatly. Despite the size differences, I don't even need to touchup paint. As he was installing the salt cell, he noticed thata some of the existing PVC piping (not related to where the salt cell went in) was in a bind and redid all that for me also. Great job!

David installed the new motor and three underwater light bulbs expertly. David was right on time and was very efficient! David was very interesting and shared his vast knowledge about swimming pool maintenance and repair unselfishly. David is honest and has uncompromising integrity. I will call David for all my swimming pool repairs. I suggest you do the same!

We found what we thought was a pipe leak in our backyard. We thought it was a pipe from the pool. I calling 3 different companies 1 being our current pool service company and they all said they wouldn't take on the job. I called Texas Leak Detections and talked with Dave. He said he could be out the next day. He came looked at the leak and pool and immediately saw 1 spa jet looked bad. He let me know what that the minimum charge would be $350. I agreed. He drained the spa found 2 leaking jets and the light was also leaking. He fixed small leaks in the skimmer. When he was finished he billed me with a 10% discount for finding him on Angie's List and gave me a 90 day guarantee. Dave even took time to explain things about pool chemicals. Very excellent service and no more leaks. Thanks Dave Baker.

He scheduled the inspection quickly as he was concerned of my water bill. Showed up on time with a courtesy call beforehand. Walked me through the process and answered questions throughout including questions unrelated to this service. Very nice and polite. Repairs were made on the spot at no additional cost. The whole process took about 3 hours.

I called David on short notice to thoroughly inspect an older pool on a house we are in the process of buying. He was very informative on the phone and pointed out a lot of things we should consider if we are seriously considering purchasing the house. He was genuinely concerned for us to make a good decision, and I very much appreciate that as a first time pool owner. He was also able to come the next day, and he was very thorough in his inspection. He even got into the pool to check everything under water, and it was pretty cold that day being it was February. He continued to give more advice for us during the inspection, and he told us to keep his information if we buy the house as he could give us good pointers to keep everything in good condition. We decided to go forward with purchasing the house, and we will definitely use him again if the need arises.
