How to Detect a Water Leak
Detecting a water leak early is crucial to prevent significant damage to your property. To identify a leak, start by checking your water meter. Turn off all water sources in your home and observe the meter; if it continues to move, a leak is likely present. Next, examine your water bill for any sudden increases that don't align with your usual water usage, as this can signal a leak. Additionally, look for visible signs such as water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors. You should also listen for the sound of running water when all taps are turned off, which could indicate an ongoing leak.

“Ryan Jacobson found and fixed my pool liner leak, which as he described it, was the best-case scenario. The worst-case scenario would have been a leak in the pipes… That would have required busting up concrete to fix the leak. Luckily for me, he didn’t have to do that… Highly recommend American Leak Detection!”- Alfredo “JR” Gonzalez

“We had standing water on my front lawn for several months; we thought it was the irrigation system, so we called an irrigation specialist to check for leaks. He checked it and said the issue does not seem to be irrigation and suggested the local water works or a plumber service. We contacted a plumbing service, and they were unable to assist due to the size of my lawn - however, they recommended American Leak Detection. We contacted American Leak Detection (spoke with Ms. Annette) who dispatched a team out promptly, they performed their analysis and located the area of the leak. We got the plumber back out and the appropriate repairs were made to resolve our leak issues. We've dealt with service companies that promise to send someone out to address our issues, but they are either days and weeks later or they don't show up. American Leak Detection are true professionals from their request intake process through to job completion and after repair testing if needed. Their administrative staff and technicians have excellent interpersonal skills, and they show up when they say they will. I will refer them to family, friends and anyone else needing the services they provide.”- Ben J.

“Russell Speir is AWESOME. After introductions Russ had me explain what was going on. He was very interested in everything I had to say and discussed with me what the various symtoms of my leak indicated. He surveyed inside the house and the immediate area outside between the meter and the initial point of entry to the house. He shared with my wife and me the various steps and methods he would use. His equipment vehicle is in great shape and all of the equipment and tools inside the vehicle looked very clean, well maintained and in their place (a place for everything and everything in its place.) VERY professional. Russ was very patient and explained every procedure and step. Russ is extremely knowledgeable and willingly shares his expertise with you. I HIGHLY receommend American Leak Detection to everyone needing this service. Thank you Russell Speir. I greatly appreciate you and the service you provided. Best regards, M. Garcia”- M. Garcia
