Gerard from American Leak Detection just saved me from having my water turned off unnecessarily, and I am extremely grateful to him. Water was coming up from under our floor and even when we turned of the water supply to our home for four days, the flood continued. Neither the plumbers nor my town's Department of Public Works, nor the Property Management nor the HOA (who told me they looked at blueprints) could figure out where the water was coming from. My insurance company paid to have Gerard from American Leak Detection come, and he quickly determined none of my pipes were leaking at all, but my neighbor's pipe was and that was causing the flood in my home. Gerard was calm and certain, and completely professional. Three other people were telling him he was wrong (the man from DPW, the HOA president, and the rep from the Property Management Company) and those three all wanted to shut my water back off. Gerard stayed firm in explaining what he 100% know to be true, which is that the flood in my home would only stop if the neighbor's water was shut off, and that there was no point in shutting my water off because my pipes were not leaking. After much convincing, DPW finally shut off my neighbor's water at the curb, while keeping mine on. Lo and behold, the flooding ceased and has not resumed in the five past days since my neighbor's water was turned off. I called Gerard to thank him for both his skills and his unwavering commitment to stating his findings even when pressed by three others at one time to change his position. I want to thank him publicly with this five star review. Edited 11/23/24 to add: the plumbers jackhammered through the concrete slab last week and the leak was exactly under the spot Gerard had marked. Due to his superior leak detection skills, the plumbers were able to find and repair the pipe with a minimum amount of destruction to the foundation of my home. read more

American Leak Detection - Freehold - The company's vehicle - Plumbing Near Me

Nightmare - inaccurate and unprofessional, unethical. They play the insurance game with the insurance company instead of truly helping homeowner who has the leak. They came to our property, did not disclose up front that only insurance company can get the report. Instead technician said we will get the report next day and also have 30 days gurantee. Patty on the phone was unhelpful, unprofessional. Wasted a week of our time dealing with an active leak and made our situation worse. The detection was far more inaccurate. It wasn't even in the same room they marked. When trying to use the 30 days guarantee for them to come back to locate the leak again, we were told the insurance company has to call them to use it. For an active leak, as a home owner, we are trying to resolve the issue. Not to run into another drama and scam - totally waste of time. Stay away. read more

Do Not Hire. Your money will go down the drain with your water. I hired American Leak Detection to fix a leak in my pool. They came, said they found a leak and fixed it. Two weeks later, the pool continued to leak. I tried to call a few times and received no call back. When my check wasn't cashed in two months, I stopped payment thinking they were out of business. I receive a call from them months later demanding payment with no offer of returning to find the leak. A year and a half later, they take me to court for non-payment. Hire someone else or this could be you! read more

They are great. Got to us one day after booking them knowing we had an emergency. Expensive yes - but professional, on time, and really know their stuff. We had a difficult issue to locate it and they were able to find it without digging up the entire place. Would not hesitate to use them again. read more

Their billing department is literally so upside down. My insurance company sent me half the money to cover an assessment by Bud's employees (which somehow came out to be a $500 charge for a 45 minute visit). They found no leak. I asked the guys if I owed them any money, and they left claiming my insurance company would take care of everything. No invoice was ever sent to me. This visit occurred in November of 2016. I received a call from their billing department in July of 2017 asking me to pay them the money my insurance company sent me that I owed them. I wouldn't work with this company based solely on the fact that they can't keep their books straight, and they may come looking for money owed to them nearly a year after they've overcharged you. read more
