    American Leak Detection - Cantonment left my house in terrible condition. They cut four holes in my sheet rock to find the leak. The tech only told me about two. They cut every manifold in each of those holes, approximately 8 feet of copper replaced by PEX. I'm assuming they didn't use a "rattlesnake" or similar tool to find the leak, resulting in unnecessary damage to my property. None of the first three holes and manifolds showed indications of an active water leak. On top of that, they used my bed sheets and towels to mop up the water mess they created by using antiquated detection methods. He then threw the now dirty sheets in the dryer and the wet towels in the washing machine with the lid closed. I was out of town and came home to baked in dirty sheets and moldy towels. The tech also left muddy hand prints all across my house - each of the four places he cut out, both bathrooms, and in my kitchen. The cut sheet rock, and associated dust was left in each room. I'm not sure why the tech did not have the proper tools such a a wet/dry vac to clean up the water and dust. This is their description of events on the invoice after the work was complete. I spoke through text with the tech while he was at my house and he never mentioned cutting four holes in my walls. "Original leak marking was incorrect. Opened sheet rock at manifold at original marking, then cut all lines in manifold to discover that they all hold water. Rebuilt manifold with pex and performed detection again, found leak on 3/4" cold side copper pipe under slab in water heater closet, marked leak with new blue X. This is the main cold line going to second manifold. The wall behind water heater will need to be opened to access actual leaking line, then it will need to be tracked to confirm location of second manifold. Requesting to return the following Monday to complete reroute. No damage to home was done today aside from exposing third manifold at original marking. Will reduce reroute estimate to make up the sheet rock difference if possible."

    Joel and Josh were really good! They found both leaks and repaired appropriately. I would definitely suggest that they be providing with "foot coverings" to prevent so much clean up. Great guys, great work!

    Highly Recommended: Gulf Coast Pool and Spa If you're…read morelooking for a fiberglass pool, Gulf Coast Pool and Spa is the company to choose. You work directly with the owners, who give you their personal phone numbers and respond quickly to any questions or concerns. This was my second pool installation, and Gulf Coast far exceeded my previous experience in Texas. I had a gunite pool before, but after seeing the difference, I would never go that route again. The owners clearly explained the pros and cons of each pool type, allowing us to make an informed decision. My 14x30 fiberglass pool was completed in just two weeks, including a few weather delays. The process was incredibly efficient -- they dug the hole on day one and set the fiberglass shell on day two. Every employee is a specialist at their job, and we worked with Tom, Jon, and Aaron, who kept us informed every step of the way. When I noticed the pump wasn't the variable-speed model I wanted, I called the owner and he immediately agreed to upgrade it at no extra charge. This company truly does whatever it takes to make sure their customers are satisfied. They also offer a veterans discount, which is a great added benefit. After installation, they leveled my backyard so well that no additional grading was needed for landscaping. Once the pool was filled with water, they sent a technician out to professionally clean it and provided clear, easy-to-understand instructions on how to maintain it as a saltwater pool. If any issues arise later, they offer expert advice on exactly what to do. I would highly recommend Gulf Coast Pool and Spa to anyone thinking about installing a pool -- regardless of the type. Their service is unmatched. This flows well and keeps the review positive and professional. Would you like any other tweaks?

    Pensacola Pools - Wasted Chemicals from Pensacola Pools OVER-PRESCRIBING chemicals to profit from chemical sales

    BUYER BEWARE! THIS HAS BECOME A SCAM POOL COMPANY!…read more Sound harsh? NO! It's 100% SPOT ON! Owner: Larry Robbin Florida does NOT investigate companies that falsify water tests, trying to get you to buy uneccessary chemicals! For 14 years I maintained my (designed) pool (50'x25'x10' deep 44,000 gal salt water pool) with crystal clear water. March 2022 I had them test & recommend chems for my pool, as I was having surgery with an expected 30 day recovery, so I wanted to get my pool right before surgery. I know about chemical reactions in pools. What I DIDN'T KNOW is that if your STABILIZER is high - outside the recommended range, IT WILL KILL YOUR CHLORENE - period. Even SHOCK won't work. Pensacola Pools prescribed, INTENTIONALLY, double the amount of chlorene stabilizer I needed, not once, (I wouldn't have figured it out.... but TWICE, ... allowing me to "catch them in the act". 29 March 2022 they prescribed 21# of stabilizer, when a maximum of 10# was needed. Salt chlorene generators do not produce stabilizer, so from time to time you have to add chlorene stabilizer. I took their advice, put in 20# and had HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY. 3 days later my pool was GREEN, first time in 14 years! Over the following month, while using a dipstick daily showing showing everything was within normal limits (WNL) - What can be bad about normal-high stabilizer? Over the next month, 3 days after having a hip replacement I needed to shock the pool & brush the "green" down to the deep end DAILY, despite the 105 degree heat. I spent over $500 in chemicals - shock & clarifier, and salt attempting to get rid of the green algae. SHOCK should have taken care of it in 1-2 treatments, but no results. Thinking my Polaris was not working efficiently (after all, the chemicals were "correct" according to Pensacola Pools & my daily dipsticks) I rebuilt the Polaris with a rebuild kit (@$200). No joy. Replaced the cleaner hose swivels ($20) - no joy. Replaced the wall blow-out valve & backup valve (from Pensacola Pools) - no joy. Thinking the only thing left was maybe the pump wasn't sending enough water to the cleaner, I replaced the PB-4 booster pump ($450 + $150 to install) and still no joy. Finally I replaced the 4 paper filter cartridges thinking they may be not filtering (old) the algae, but again no joy. So now we are at 3 weeks in. 5 May 2022 the new booster pump was installed, and I took the water to be tested at 2 different pool companies - Pensacola Pools & Pinch-a-Penny Pools. Stabilizer @ 40-46 PPM (showing low due to the 3 weeks time) - pool still green. called to add 10-11#; added 8#. Had to divert my attention to a job, shocked pool 13 May. Still green. May 25-26 we had 8" of rain! (Measured with my rain gauge). Pool still green, so I cleaned the filter cartridges on the 28th. 29 May 2022 I had the water retested due to the previous rain. Up to this point. Pinch-a-Penny showed stabilizer @ 40 PPM (add 10# stabilizer); Pensacola Pools... AGAIN measured stabillizer at 41 PPM recommending 21# AGAIN! I added 20# and got CHLORENE LOCKOUT once again. Shocked the pool, cleaned the filters again. 1 June 2022 replaced the pool cleaner filters with (4x) NEW FILTERS ($200) as I thought they weren't working. 2 June 2022, perplexed, I had the water tested again. Pinch-a-Penny measured stabilizer @ 100 PPM, Pensacola Pools measured it @ 106 PPM. Both said I had to dump 2-3 feet of water out of the pool & fill it back up with tap water to dilute the stabilizer. NOW it became apparent what had happened. Pensacola Pools DELIBERATELY prescribed double the stabilizer TO GET ME TO BUY CHEMICALS I didn't need in the first place! (You'll see why below). 3 June 2022 - I dumped 15,000 gallons of water & replaced with tap water. 4 June 2022 - Shocked & added clarifier - 7 June 2022 - pool was clearing up, added 6 bags of salt; pool is crystal clear again, as usuial. Has stayed that way through present day. KNOW THIS: All... I mean ALL ... Pensacola Pools previous tests were done using the "eyeball" method (non-computerized) with the recommended chemicals figured from a chart in a book. Often, they would not put the date and name of the person testing the water on the test results! No accountability, plausable deniability. Thats EXACTLY what happened. When I spoke to the "Store Manager", Ms. Debbie Welsh, she initially blew me off to her floor staff saying, "I'll put you in the pile (of to-do's) and get to you when I get things done". This was unacceptable, so I met her in person. Well, she immediately tried to make excuses, using chemical excuse probabilities which were immediately debunked. Then she tried to insist they ALWAYS use the computer to test chems - I have the handwritten tests proving that a lie. She tried to make issue of me not buying my chems there. Debunked again. ADMITTED to overprescribing stabilizer. Said they would give $124 in "Store Credit". BS! Lost $1,400 because of them.

    Terrible. Service technician urinated in the parking lot at a local restaurant in broad day light…read more Called the business and they said, "will talk to him." Completely unacceptable behavior and response. Beware of you have young children around if you hire Pensacola Pools. I would hate for them to witness a grown man exposing himself because he doesn't have the decency to find a public restroom.
