Welcome to American Leak Detection, the "Original Leak Specialists." Since 1974, we have detected nearly 5 million leaks, saving homes and business owners billions of dollars in costly repairs. Accurate leak detection requires a combination of two things: Specially trained experts: Our technicians have completed the industry's most extensive training program and are highly skilled to accurately locate the most difficult leaks, without destruction. Quality equipment: American Leak Detection has taken its job a step further by implementing its own proprietary methods and technology to ensure the most non-invasive leak detection possible. Five reason you can depend on American Leak Detection: Non-Invasive: Our slogan says it best "Leak Detection Without Destruction." We are the world leader in the accurate, non-destructive detection of all types of leaks including hidden water and sewer leaks. Experience and Resources: We're the Original Leak Specialists with more than 40 years of experience, state-of-the-art equipment, and ongoing research and development for new leak detection technology and techniques. Save Money: Our non-invasive methods assure a timely and economical outcome and ensure that damage to property is eliminated or reduced. Upfront Pricing: We find our customers prefer an accurate price based on us accurately inspecting the situation and making recommendations. Many service companies quote low prices over the phone because they know people may be shopping for the lowest price. Therefore, many phone quotes are inaccurate and change after a technician sees the job. We feel this method is Not Fair to customers. After speaking with our office, you will know up-front what your cost will be to detect the leak. Licensed-Insured: Have peace of mind knowing that we have been thoroughly checked and are licensed and insured.

"I called to set up a time for American Leak Detection to come out and they were able to come out the next day. I was told 11-1, which I assumed that J.D. would be here sometime in that range. When he realized at 10:15 he wasn't going to be at my house until 11:45 he called to let me know his estimated arrival time and apologized. There was no need to apologize but I appreciated that he was considerate of my time. He was here for three house and worked tirelessly to locate our leak. He kept me posted and answered all of my questions. My husband came home for lunch and walked through any questions my husband had. D.J. was very professional with a focus on customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to use American Leak Detection. This is the right call if you need someone to locate a leak."

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular project. We look forward to earning your business! Book with us online or feel free to give us a call today!

"I don't normally write reviews and I rarely recommend anyone for anything anymore because in the past it has come back to bite me but I am making an exception for Masterpice Pools. We had gotten several estimates for a pool and Masterpiece was the most reasonable. The reason I went with Masterpiece was from the moment my husband and I met him he was down to earth, patient and professional which carried over to his project manager Lee who constantly gave us updates on what was happening and going to happen next. They took the time to talk to us and put our mind at ease. We are so pleased with the results and the entire project was seamless. Next to buying our retirement home here in Florida this was the next expensive project we've ever done since we never had an in ground pool. All that being said i would highly recommend Masterpiece. We can't wait to enjoy our pool. Thank you Masterpiece!"

Their pool cleaners like DeSean and Corey are friendly and answer any concerns while onsite. I would recommend anyone to sit with them when pricing as they were comparable in price to others but offered much better equipment and materials than their competitors. Our pool was built during one of the most troubled times with covid19 and superior still completed the job on time and we were swimming in 40 days. Watching the pool come to life step by step is just as incredible from initial design and then each day seeing your backyard turn into a your dream."

Green City Solar, LLC, in business since 2014, is your locally owned and operated solar and heater business. We have many years of experience to give you confidence, that we are your number one choice for your next home project. Call us today and we look forward to your future business! We now offer financing, as well.

"Robert Olan, the owner and manager of Green City Solar, LLC, is a skilled electrician and a Solar energy specialist. I would recommend him for any electrical or solar energy problem. He is a professional that knows what he’s doing. For more than 2 years, the breakers for my solar energy system, continued to trip. This breaker problem resulted in communication breakdowns with the system’s micro inverters. It also disrupted the system’s energy production. For more than 800 days I was required to reset the system when the breakers tripped, sometimes several times a day. This breaker problem began from the minute the system was first energized. The company that installed the system, Complete Solar, was aware of the problem, but never made an effort to fix it. Mr. Olan is my hero. In less than an hour, he discovered the problem & fixed it. I no longer have to reset the system, & it is a big weight off my shoulders. The feeling is magical. I still can’t believe I don’t need to reset it."

They helped me pick the tile I would be happy with. They started the job on Monday and by Friday afternoon we were filling the pool with water! Not only did they clean up the mess, they even pressure washed the entire pool area! Thank you so much Coastsl Pool Renovations!!!"

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

Increases living space and adds value to the home through enhanced utility.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.

The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.

Your pool enclosure’s lifespan will depend on the type and materials, but on average, you can expect it to last 10 to 15 years. The climate and level of maintenance will also affect how long your pool enclosure lasts. 

If you’re unsure of how your pool is doing in general, you can always get a pool inspection to make sure everything’s running smoothly.
