About American Leak Detection American Leak Detection is an unrivalled franchise business, having grown to be
the world leader in the accurate detection of hidden water, sewer, and gas
leaks. Proprietary methods and state-of-the-art technology have revolutionized
the exploration and discovery of leaks. With advanced methodologies and
equipment, American Leak Detection franchisees are capable of determining the
exact location of hidden leaks. From swimming pool cracks to underground
plumbing systems and sewer lines, the sensitive electronic tools will identify
the trouble location. The training and certification of technicians is equally
as important in the process of locating leaks. American Leak Detection’s proprietary equipment and methods have elevated the
process of leak detection to a proficient skill. It is possible for the
technicians to determine the location of a leak by electronically locating the
damaged source. Even the smallest leak, or pipe defect can be located
accurately. This is a distinct contrast to conventional trial-and-error methods
of leak detection using jackhammers and sledgehammers, also known as search and
destroy. The company’s technicians can also determine the depth of leaking
pipes, including those deeper than 20 feet. The result is that leaks can be
found and repaired with minimal disruption to property. In many cases, only a
single floor tile or paver needs to be removed and replaced. This causes less
disruption and saves thousands of dollars in costly search-and-destroy methods
that do not guarantee a leak location. It can also save weeks of downtime for
commercial and industrial customers. American Leak Detection’s services address two serious environmental concerns:
water conservation and environmental contamination. Leaks from certain pipes,
gas, and sewer lines can release dangerous contaminants into the soil, creating
environmental hazards and health dangers. Water leaks also waste a previous
natural resource that in many places is in short supply.
