Recommended Customer Reviews

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 had some wainscoting cracking in our home, before just having it fixed up we wanted to find the issue causing it. The main water pipe is on the same wall, so for peace of mind we called ALD to come out to make sure we did jot have a pipe leak. When Dave came out he immediately got moisture readings on his device. After testing our pipe there was absolutely no evidence of a leaking pipe. This was of course good news, but Dave did not stop there, he was determined to help find the culprit. After investigating different areas, he found that our window frame was the culprit, showed me exactly how and why! Now we can fix everything knowing the exact issue and we did not tear our walls apart doing so! For a mysterious possible home leak I can not recommend ALD enough!

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 have used American Leak Detection on two occasions. They are an EXCELLENT provider. From appointment scheduling to arrive at your home they are the best. They provide specific times and a text tracking to inform you when their technician will arrive at your home. Their senior technician Michael has been at my residence both service calls and he is nothing short of OUTSTANDING! Very customer focused and keeps the customer informed as to what he is doing to remedy your situation. I have been extremely satisfied with their service.

I was very skeptical of using a chain on something like this! My pool was loosing 2"""" of water a day. Troy was great to work with. He communicated extremely well from while in transit until the final wrap up. They off a 60 day warranty on there repairs. I highly recommend them.

We've been working with ALD for the past few weeks and their customer service and pool technicians are knowledgeable and always on time for appointments. They also provide the pool technicians name as well as ensure they pass a background check. Can't really ask for more """"piece of mind"""" than that. Thank you ALD for the honesty and great service!

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.

MJ arrived on time. He was knowledgeable & efficient. Found the problem & fixed it pronto.

Let me start off by giving them credit where it's due. The service was friendly and the confirmations on appointments are second to none. Now let me get into why this review is negative. Per their requisites, they specify that a pool must be clean clear, and full. Therein lies the problem if you are someone reporting a serious leak that needs to be detected and repaired. Granted in their typical cases (most of them, I am assuming based on the level of expertise described further), there may be small leaks like seals around skimmers and jets, etc. but if you have a leak that is substantially losing water, how are you supposed to fill a pool and keep it clear and clean?! We were told that they will not honor a re-visit to re-diagnose the pool if it's not clean, clear, and full. If they came out and it was not clean clear and full it would be an additional trip charge of $175.00 (now already invested $500.00 with no fix and the pool is still leaking badly). My wife and I desperate to stop the proverbial """"bleeding"""" found that the temporary fix that the service person installed on the FIRST trip actually exacerbated the problem causing the water to dump out of the purge (pool drain pipe) as fast as we were trying to fill it!! Once we removed the plug, the purge pipe stopped running. We then isolated the leak by identifying a jet that we noticed was spitting out small amounts of dirt and sand and plugged that jet with the plug (provided by the service person). The leaking has stopped and we resolved the issue on our own with a $5.00 PVC cap! Now out hundreds of dollars between the fruitless repair call and the wasted water, we will work on finding a service company to repair the jet line... and it will NOT - I repeat N O T be American Leak Detection. If my wife and I were able to """"detect the leak"""" and find a solid but temporary repair, we need a company that has more expertise in problem-solving than my wife and I that know nothing about pools. Feel free to be embarrassed ALD, because you SHOULD be! You are also free to contact me.

Great job , used this company twice. Found leaks both times under parking lots. Could be a little lower on pricing but good job.
