American Leak Detection of South Florida

After paying a $350 fee for plumbing leak detection, I received an estimate of $2,550 from Adam D. of American Leak Detection to repair the leaking sleeved plumbing line. Instead, I used an honest company, All Repair Plumbing, which did the work in 4 hours and charged only $1,150 - less than one half. Do yourself a favor and don't use this company on any repair job.

This is the worst company I have ever come across with. I have a terrible leak problem at home and have mold all over my furniture and personal belongings. My dog and I have been breathing mold for the past 6 month. I've called NUMEROUS times and left all of my information in hopes to get a call back and response. I have spoken to employees Tammy & Kristine who have expressed how """"sorry"""" they were for my emergency situation (yeah right) only to have to sit and wait for ZERO response or call back. Reading other reviews here I see that not getting a call back has been a blessing in disguise because it's obvious they are so unprofessional and they overall SUCK. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. Mediocrity at it's finest.

I used American Leak Detection in 2017 for a large job to reroute all plumbing in my home for $8300. Now 3 years later I have leaks again but they won't return several calls I made to them this past month. Clearly they don't take ownership of their work. Also other plumbers said I overpaid double what I could have paid. I don't recommend American Leak Detection.

I have never written a bad review on someone but I am just so disappointed and disgusted with this company that I must share my experience with them . I had a leak and I called out this company they came and charged me 600$ for a leak detection. I called out another plumber to come and fix the problem thank god they caught the major mistake this company made before they torn apart my marble floors . American leak detection did not find the leak yet charged me ! Marked up a false spot on my floor . I called several times before anyone called me back . Finally after many attempts a manager called me back said they would look into it and get back to me . He contacted the other leak company and they told him their guy was wrong sent a report and since then I have written to this manager and I can't get an email or phone call back or my $600 back . Pure theft !!!

I am a disabled first responder and my insurance company had this company come to my home on a Saturday to check the area for a leak. The tech that responded Charlie was on time and very professional and checked everything! Charlie also used PPE and was very careful since I'm on Oxygen. I would highly recommend this company and Charlie the leak technician.

Note to self and others...black olive tree roots are the worst! A year ago I was getting really high water bills and called ALD and they found the leak in my pipe and fixed it. Jump 365 or so days later and guess what...i have another pipe leak due to the roots of the black olive tree. I am so grateful to ALD for again diagnosing the leak and having it fixed! Not something I want to continue doing but until I sell this house I have to keep up with repairs. Thanks diane and Devondro for helping me today and having the pipe leading to my water meter repaired.

In 2018 we noticed a sharp increase in our water bills. Although no water or water damage was showing, it was obvious we had a leak under the concrete slab of our home. Our plumber recommended we call in American Leak Detection of South Florida, which describes itself as a """"leak specialist."""" On Nov. 6, 2018, two technicians from ALD visited our home and identified the leak as being under the slab in a bedroom which we use as an office. The expensive flooring in this room had been installed only one year earlier, and now had to be broken up to repair the leak. Based on the ALD analysis, our plumber did break up the wooden flooring and underlying concrete, to a depth of about 20 inches, before he found the water line. What he didn't find was a leak. There was no leak where ALD said it was. ALD was notified and then dispatched its field service supervisor, who did further tests and found the leak - IN AN ADJOINING ROOM. In other words, the many hours of work the plumber had spent in our office and the destruction of our office floor was completely unnecessary! The unnecessary plumbing work and the floor replacement have cost us more than $2,200 (in addition to the $425 we paid ALD to find the leak). All efforts to get ALD to accept responsibility for its error have failed. The company's operations manager, Nicholas Vargas, has avoided telephone calls and a certified letter. He did call once, at the request of our plumber, and asked for copies of the plumber's report and invoices for the repair work in question, which we provided. That was approximately four weeks ago. Nothing further has been heard. If you should be so unfortunate as to develop a leak in your plumbing system, I would urge you to think twice before using the services of American Leak Detection of South Florida. They may be """"leak specialists,"""" but they clearly do not stand behind their work or accept responsibility for their mistakes.

Had an appointment this morning. Michael took my call and said someone would be here between 830am-930am. No show, no call. I waited 2 hours. Big waste of time. Typical south florida company. Very unprofessional. I recommend hiring a smaller company.

after paying plumbers to diagnose my leak and give me the wrong diagnosis, Milton found my leaks and saved the day. I learned an expensive lesson. plumbers can fix but not find your leak. Leak detectors and their employee, Milton's tenacity saved me from water damage all over my floor. I highly recommend them.
