Accurately Finding “Mystery” Leaks
Let’s face it, leaks can be stressful to deal with. From trying to locate it to stopping the water from traveling, the whole experience is a homeowner’s nightmare. One of the most important things to do if you have a leak is find the exact location and cause. Although leaks are often caused by plumbing problems, there are many other reasons why water may appear. Our specialized equipment and experience allows us to find the cause and origin of these “mystery” leaks. Examples include a roof leak, window leak, groundwater intrusion, and faulty tile grout. There are all sorts of reasons why water can seemingly appear out of nowhere.
At American Leak Detection, we understand our clients are stressed and want fast reliable services. We back all our services with over 50 years of experience. As the original leak detection specialists™ in the nation, we have the technology to accurately locate a leak and the training to detect the cause of it.
Dealing with a leak can be time-consuming, frustrating, and exhausting. In the aftermath, you may be left with extensive damage that may be covered by your home insurance. Our cause and origin detections can help you! We locate the cause and origin of the leak using non-invasive technology. You’ll receive a carefully documented report detailing our findings so that you can file insurance claims.

“I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”- Sandi T.

“I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”- Carolyn R.

“Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”- String R.
