Recommended Customer Reviews

Thay came out today, took about two hours and found the leak in our 55 year old pool and fixed it. I recommend this company and Jesse for taking care of Business.

I used Greg in the Thousand Oaks area (805-965-1000) to locate a slab leak I had. He was professional, knowledgeable and showed up on time. He was able to mark the areas for my plumber to use and I would not hesitate to use him again. His price was a bit higher than the competition (Pinpoint), but I was confident with his services.

Did not use as we were able to get it fixed ourself, but were very helpful on scheduling a appointment

They charged $380 to mis-locate the main leak and not find the second leak. They ignored my request to speak with their technician. Find another company.

We had several old irrigation systems for different sections of our property. Andrew came out and found all of them! He did such a great job and was charming and personable - very polite and very quick to help us out. We ended up saving $200 a month once we got the leaks fixed!

Unfortunately we've had two slab leaks in the past two years. Fortunately, we found American Leak Detection. For 20 years, they've been detecting and repairing leaks. They are efficient and provide excellent repair advice and follow through service.
They bring lots of experience to provide the best recommendations and advice to repair the immediate problem and prevent and reduce future issues.
Great work, professional, good response and fair charges.

We had a hot water leak in our concrete slab. ALD was one of two companies our insurance company recommended.
Greg, an owner of the company, came within 24 hours of our call. He brought sophisticated heat and sound detection equipment and located the leak within minutes, but he didn't stop there, performing other tests and asking many questions.
Within another day, we had a plumber who rerouted and replaced pipes, needing to remove our vanity and backsplash, breaking into the drywall.
Total cost was $1600, in line with other companies who couldn't respond as quickly.
Minor damage to the drywall was professionally repaired at no additional cost, and Greg noticed very minor scratches (not readily visible) to the floor which he also is insisting on repairing.
From the front office personnel to the owner to the plumber to the Drywaller, our experience was well beyond expectations.
Our out-of-pocket expenses were less than what we would have paid utilizing our insurance, which had we filed a claim, would have resulted in significantly higher premiums.
We were, in two words, extremely satisfied.

Greg found our significant irrigation leak and was very professional and helpful. I highly recommend American Leak Detection

I learned about Andy and his team at American Leak Detection from Mark at Santa Barbara Koi (who is incredible and so very helpful). They arrived on time, were friendly, very professional and dove straight into it. Not a wasted minute. They are thorough and tireless and the best hands you could be in if you have a leak problem. Their scheduling staff were excellent as well. We are thrilled to have found them and can't recommend highly enough

Honey STOP THE CAR!! ONLY use THIS company for ANY PLUMBING issues! rates/fees are great! Greg and his team are AMAZING! I know nothing about plumbing so when I called the office ...WOW the woman (sorry didn't get her name) was so understanding, patient, and knowledgeable when I explained my plight! I had a stripped water shutoff valve to my house, and needed info on where my pipes were going into my garage area (getting ready for an ADU conversion), and also asked to check the water pressure and if any leaks were present in my home. All items were taken care of with perfection! Also fixed a small leak in an outdoor faucet without fee! This company is an honest and super knowledgeable crew! Greg explained everything clearly and professionally. Clean and down to the point getting the job done proficiently and correctly! Thank you ALD (Santa Barbara and Ventura County) you made my year!! BZ! A Veteran owned company that is a true Gem!
