- JGJason Gerardi3 days ago5.0Excellent experience with Florida Leak Locators! Hunter was punctual, efficient, extremely professional, explained what he found, and covered next steps with me. Hunter also provided a detailed report which included pictures.

- CKChris KimDec 4, 20255.0We suspected leak in our pool. The first tech who came out said he found the very small crack in one of the jets and patched it up. The situation didn’t improve at all. We had to keep adding water until another tech, CHRIS, came out. He found major leak at bench jets and took care of the leak. He even set up a bucket for bucket test and told us to watch the level. So far so good! We were so relieved. He was thorough and confident. He cares for his customers. Thank you, Chris!

- LHLaura HayOct 22, 20255.0I had an urgent situation and left a message for American Leak Detection in Spring Hill after hours. To my surprise, they called me back at 7:00 AM—an hour before they even opened—and got someone out the same day. The technician, Steve, was absolutely amazing. He was professional, kind, and explained everything clearly, which really put me at ease during a stressful situation. The entire team went above and beyond to help me. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a leak or plumbing issue. Outstanding service from start to finish!

Why should we choose your company?
We find leaks, we fix leaks, that’s all we do! There are many other companies who claim to know pool leak detection. However, read a little further in their ads and you will see that what they really do are decks, resurfacing, equipment repairs, pavers, slab leaks etc. These companies usually have only the most basic knowledge of what causes pool leaks and how to find and fix them properly. We frequently go to pools that other companies have looked at two or three times prior to us and end up finding and fixing the problem. All of our experienced technicians are provided with the most up to date equipment needed to find any pool leak!
What is included in your leak test?
We use special electronic audio leak detection equipment to check your entire pool including all suction and pressure lines, skimmer, main drains, and lights. Most leaks are something that we can patch or seal while we are there the first time. If that is the case the repair is included in the up-front leak detection price we quoted. If there is a problem with a line or any other major repair is needed, we mark the area and provide you with a written quote to do the work with a $100 discount because you had the initial leak test with us.
What kind of guarantee do you offer?
Provided the pool is in normal condition (no major structural or beam cracks or severely separating surface) we give a 60-day guarantee from the date of the initial test. (Note on vinyl liners: We only guarantee our original patches to the liner, not any new holes after our initial leak test.)
Do I need to do anything to my pool before the test?
#1 – We ask that the pool and/or spa are clean and clear on the day of the test. Our technicians often have to dive the pool to check main drains and lights and need to be able to see clearly at all areas of the pool. We also ask that the pool is at normal operating level which is usually about halfway up your tile or skimmer mouth.
#2 – We also ask that the water is filled to the normal operating level before we arrive (usually halfway up the tile or half way up the skimmer mouth).
Do I need to be home for the leak test?
You do not need to wait at home for the leak test. Our technician will contact you between 7:30 - 8:00 AM the day of your scheduled test. They will notify you of the approximate time they will be there and obtain any additional details on your pool that may help expedite the process. If you are not going to be home you can choose to leave a check or provide us with a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card number to have on file. The technician will call you after they are finished to let you know the results of your leak test and what work was completed.
What is normal evaporation for a swimming pool?
The answer depends on the pool and time of year. The general answer we give in the Tampa Bay and Sarasota areas is to allow 1/8” to 1/4” a day maximum for normal evaporation. This can change depending on water, air temperature, and humidity. In the spring when we have warmer pools and cold nights, we see even higher evaporation rates. In the summer when the humidity is high there is less evaporation. A pool with a lot of running water features such as a spa spill-over, waterfall, or fountains will also evaporate more because of the additional water exposed to the air.
