Recommended Customer Reviews

I would avoid American Leak Detection Company and go with another company (I ended up with RedRhino). For starters, American Leak Detection told me they isolated the leak, charged me a lot of money to fix it, and when I told them the leak was still present in the pool, they said they were unable to locate it. After several contentious emails back and forth, they said they did not want to do business with me anymore. This was again after I was already charged for the problem to be """"fixed"""" and never was. I got RedRhino over and they found several leaks and came back 4 different times to make sure the pool was not leaking. The customer service was 10x better than American Leak so I will never work with this company again.

Had a leak with our pool in Valrico, FL. American Leak Detection first wanted to make sure there was in fact a leak so had us perform a test at home so we didn't waste money for a problem that was instead evaporation. After we confirmed a leak, they scheduled and sent a technician (with a great system for informing us by text of the time / location of the technician) who fixed the problem, explained to us the issue, and provided a clear report. They provided a 60 day warranty if any subsequent issues arise. Highly recommend.

We had a hot water leak under our foundation. No water inside, thankfully! Tami was thorough, patient, and she found the leak!! Plumber then able to do repair! American Leak Detection is very professional. They sent notifications telling us when to expect Tami, information about her and her experience. I felt I knew her based on the information they shared. I felt no reason not to trust and let her in the home. They had even sent me a picture of her! I have nothing but the best to say about Tami and American Leak Detection.

Excellent job, fair price - found the leak and patched it Highly highly recommend Troy Roberts is an awesome guy

American Leak Detection are fantastic. They worked diligently to find my leak. It was a challenge but after several tries Dylan and Mine finally zeroed in on the leak and got the job done. I could not be happier. Hopefully I don't have another leak but if I do I know who I am calling! I highly recommend them.

Great service. They responded very quickly and Dan was able to find the leak in our pool. He was very friendly & easy to work with. I have used this company a few times and they are always so helpful.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to WeatherTite for excellent customer service and backing up their customer guarantee! We love our new windows but we were still having leak issues that we hoped would be fixed with these new windows. Weather Tite and their company partner American Leak Detection helped us identify and fix the leaks on the back side of our home! We truly appreciated Steven (from American Leak Detection) and Jeff (from Weather Tite) coming to our home to evaluate the leak issues we continued to have after our window install. As per Steven's recommendation, we painted the areas with elastomeric paint and have had NO leaks to date! To say we were ecstatic would be an understatement! We also greatly appreciated Steven's willingness to waive his traditional fee for his visit. We are thankful to Weather Tite for standing by their service promises and to American Leak Detection for helping solve our leak issue when no one else could! We will continue to use both of your businesses because of the outstanding customer service and customer satisfaction that you have provided! Many thanks!

I can not say enough good things about Steve and American Leak Detection. We had a slab leak and it was tricky to locate, but Steve managed to find it within less than an hour. He was personable and professional as well as efficient. I would highly recommend American Leak Detection to anyone who has a leak they can't locate!

Hello everyone on 12/14/18 I had American Leak Detection come out to my home in Wesley Chapel to find a leak in the bathroom Sheetrock wall which I was very concerned due to the fast spread of mill due which can develop very fast. The technical asked me questions then accessed the damage did some test and found the leak coming from the outside window shutters; I thought the leak was a pipe in the wall. I will have the builder fix it since my home is only 4 years old and they were trying to put the damage responsible on my home insurance. Thank you so much for your expertise and professional experience I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you Steve N. Merry Christmas to you.

I was blown away by my follow up visit by Dan today. He said something that you rarely hear with small local businesses in FL. """"We want to make sure your concerns are taken care of."""" After fixing a few leaks 3 months ago I noticed my water level dipping - even though I was passed the warranty period I agreed to have them come back out, even though it may cost me $$$ again. Dan evaluated everything and determined the issue was just normal evaporation and didn't charge me for the visit. He went as far as to set up a """"bucket test"""" so I could see if there really is a leak. I felt horrible for having someone come back out but Dan was more so concerned that the problem was taken care of. I am thrilled with this company from Jenny and Jesse who answer the phones with a smile to Dan who """"wanted to make sure I was happy.""""
