                                   WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS COMPANY!!!!  
 

                                    I'd gotten this company confused with a company that I HAD used!!!!   


    I CAN'T say ANYTHING at all, good OR bad, about American Leak, simply because I hadn't had ANY dealings with them!

Wonderfully!  (M & D Leak Seekers, NOT American Leak) I'd had a brand new pump and filter installed on my pool ONE YEAR prior to this service, but had never been able to run it because it would not fill up with water.   Something was preventing the water getting from the pool, to the pump.   I think the technical term is that the pump would not "prime."    For one entire year, I'd had two different pool people TRY to get this pump to run.    One of them, the original installer, even sent my FIRST new pump back and installed a second new one, thinking that the new pump was defective.    Time & time again, they would come by and TRY to fix this pump, even bringing a special piece of equipment that cost $30,000 with them, to try to solve the problem.   At their suggestion,  I'd even had my cousin bring his scuba diving equipment, to dive down into the deep end of my pool and unscrew the plate covering the main drain.   Still.   No luck.  

Finally, I called a different pool company but they also couldn't find the problem.   They referred me to American Leak Detection.    When he (sorry, I forget his name, but he's the owner of American Leak) came out, he probably spent about a good 2 solid hours working on this problem.    No fancy or expensive equipment.    He felt that something was "blocking" the flow of water and just kept at it, I think by forcing air/water through the lines.    FINALLY, he saw something in the line that he could reach.    Using a wire coat hanger, he managed to pull out two items that had been the culprits.    One was a small plastic toy part.    The other was some type of plastic bottle cap that was just the perfect size to block the line.    Imagine!   I had bought this house with a pool in 2012, only to discover that the pool pump would not work, paid $900+ to have new equipment installed, and had yet, one whole year later, been unable to use my pool!    I was SO HAPPY when ALD fixed this problem, I jumped up and down and hugged the guy!!!    I can't recommend them highly enough!

"Expensive and only half solved half of my problem. Had two leaks, one in bathroom and one in kitchen. Repaired drain leak in bathroom, for $350, but I passed on $150 reconnection effort (A job I completed in 15 minutes). Provided good referral for kitchen leak repair. Repairman very personable and competent"

"Called to get an estimate of adding on a bedroom. The lady on the phone was super nice and helpful. So glad we choose Hang 10 to complete the job. Zach was professional, on time, and client focused. He always cleaned up his space after working for the day. Zach put up a ceiling, built a closet with 4 sliding doors, installed a new ceiling fan, and hung 2 french doors. We love our new space and recommend this company if looking for honesty, reliability, and affordability."

"Shane was very cordial and knowledgeable. He was able to identify what the problem was with my well. The submersible pump and vibrated loose from the pipe and fallen down into the well. We were lucky in the fact that a rope was moored to the runaway pump. We removed 120 feet of pipe and extracted the pump. Luckily for me the pump was still in a usable state. He replaced the fitting and resecured the pump to the pvc pipe. The pump was lowered down into the well along with the 120 feet of pvc pipe. After a few adjustments we had running water. He did a great job and carefully kept me apprised of each step in the process. If you want good quality help then he's the man to do it."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.

If methods like hot water or a plunger don’t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you’re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.

A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.

Your clothes—and your washing machine—will send you a few signals if you’re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don’t dry quickly or at all, or you’re noticing lint in the machine, it’s time to clean the filter. 

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
