Recommended Customer Reviews

They've come out to our house twice now. I personally wasn't home but my husband was and he really liked them. He said they seem very knowledgeable and fixed the leaks we had both times (several months apart). They gave my husband good advice as well. He really recommends them!

Kenton knows what he's doing. He might not be able to talk to fish, but he understands swimming pool leaks. His advice solved my problem and saved me money. I am a very happy customer.

Aquaman is the BEST! Kenton went beyond my expectations! He made sure to find the leak in my pool with several return house calls. You will not be disappointed in hiring this company. They are good people and they do good work!

Highly recommend aquaman! Great customer service. They returned my call right away & quickly came out to look at the pool & spa. We had a large crack in our spa, which they put on epoxy to seal it. We noticed the water level was still going down so they came back out at no charge and found two more leaks. Very reasonably priced too.

Kenton is the man! Super professional, super friendly, showed up on time, and was very thorough. I had been struggling with leak issues for a while and Kenton was able to diagnose the issues and offered a temporary solution until I could get my pool repaired. As a business owner myself I can appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism that Kenton provided. Would highly recommend this company if you need a leak detection company! You will definitely be satisfied with the quality of service you get!

Kenton was great!
He found the leak, was very thorough, and also informative.
Well worth the $400, unfortunately now I have a leak to get fixed. : (

Have worked with Kent a couple of times and he and his crew are great to deal with. Highly recommend them and their work is second to none. He will tell it like it is and find the best most inexpensive solution for you.

These guys were great. Good customer service, were able to come out quickly and assess our leak, and even recommended someone who could fix the leak when it turned out it was out of their scope. Definitely recommend if you have a pool leak!

The short version:
I had several leaks in my pool, John and Kenton came out probably 5 times until they found the biggest elusive leak inside the spa wall. Each time they picked up the phone when I called and came out with a smile to make sure they found the leak. John and Kenton are stand up guys, and I would definitely recommend their service!
The long version:
We purchased our new home in the Fall and my pool guy kept on telling me that I'm losing too much water and he has to add too many chemicals to keep it blue.
Come summer, I'm having to add water to my pool every other day to keep the pool pump from sucking in air and burning out and by the end of the week my pool is growing algae.
I called Aquaman and they told me to do a bucket test. I did the bucket test and in the bucket I lost 1/4 inch of water outside the bucket the water loss was 1 3/4 to 2 inches per day!
John from Aquaman came out and found a bunch of leaks, one near the skimmer, another set around the waterfall from the spa to the pool. John pointed out the leaks and patched what he could.
I got a handyman to come out and apply some hydraulic cement ($8 from Home Depot) to some spots over my waterfall that had cracks and the area near the skimmer.
I did the bucket test and I was still losing 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 inch outside the bucket per day. I called John again, he came out again, and didn't have enough plugs to retest the spa (the spa has 10 jets). He ordered more plugs, came back again a few days later, and found no other leaks.
I was still losing water. I called again. John and Kenton came out; this time they found a leak inside the wall of the spa. They said because I have two different pumps, they didn't test it correctly the first time and could hear the whistling this time around.
I started getting quotes to open up the spa wall and was getting CRAZY bids, like $1200-$1700, my highest was $3600 to open up the spa wall and patch the jet.
Turns out my pool guy has a friend who gave me the lowest bid of $850. I went with him. He opened up the wall and the leak was not there.
I called Aquaman again, both John and Kenton came out again, they determined the leak was further down the line and assured me, it was there.
The contractor came back, we opened up more of the wall, and sure enough the leak was there. The ground was muddy probably 3 feet deep around that area. The surface was dry because I suppose the sun was drying it out, but once we started digging around that area, it was super wet.
Anyway, Aquaman found the leak, they came out multiple times to my property until the solved the issue at no extra cost, always answered when I called, and never gave up.
Definitely recommend.

My biggest concern in addressing the leak in my pool was the cost. I feared that there was a broken pipe and that it was going to cost an arm and a leg to fix it.
I left a message with Aquaman Leaks Detection on a Friday and I received a return call from Steve the next day. We were able to set up an appointment for Tuesday. Jon(Steve's brother)came out to diagnose my pool. Within an hour he was able to pin point the source of the leak and fix it. Fortunately it was a common problem that he had experienced with other jobs and he spoke in detail about how he was able to locate it. He even told me how to fix it. I could have saved money by sealing the cracks myself but I told Jon, I would feel more assured and have greater peace of mind if he did it.
Overall, I'm really satisfied with the service I received. They provided exceptional, professional service and I highly recommend them. Thank you Aquaman Leaks Detection!
