"I call in the morning, they sent a serviceman same afternoon. He called 20 min before arrival. started working right away. Took about 1 hour had it all done as I already had the tank drained. He was very efficient and he cleaned up afterwards. Answered any questions I had. Price same as quoted. I would hire them again. Just a note- the heaters the pro can buy are not the same as you can get at a big box store. This one is from the professional series. Lots of differences."

                                   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!

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

No, it is not advisable to spray pesticides down the drain in your home. Most drinking water and wastewater treatment systems are not properly equipped to remove pesticides. Should pesticides infiltrate waterways, they can cause harm to plants, fish, or other living things. In most areas, pouring pesticides down the drain is illegal due to the potential harm it causes. 

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.

Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
