For my pool leak I had already used some dye to see if any of my fittings/skimer were the source of the leak - but I had come up short. I knew I needed some professional help. Nick and team came highly recommended by my pool crew and a neighbour, but I did my dilligence and shopped around anyway. The Austin Leak Detection team were the most responsive and the most diligent. I had already performed the bucket test so knew I was losing more than .5"/day which is the threshold for them to come out. It was a couple of weeks before they could come out, but Forest and team were on time (texted me in advance), very polite and friendly. Within an hour they had checked all my lines, identified the leak and finished checking the other lines to confirm it was the only line leaking. They gave me a reasonable quote on the spot and offered to come back and fix it but also left it up to me if I'd rather shop around. The quote was low enough that it made sense to have them complete the job. The actual repair involved breaking open a smallish 1-ft hold under my pool deck and digging down to expose the leaking pipe. It was quickly repaired and the entire system re-tested to make sure there's no further leaking. They patched it back up and matched the color/stones of my deck to make it less obvious there's been a repair. It looks as good as it could and I appreciate their efforts there as my pool deck is rather old and not in the best of shape to begin with. After they left I filled a bucket again, marked with a pencil inside the skimmer basket and after 3 days not a drop of difference. Time will tell, but they reminded me that the warranty their work for a year. All in all, a great outcome and I can highly recommend the team at Austin Leak Detection! read more

Highly, highly recommend these guys. Our pool is 40 years old & had started losing over an inch of water per day. We were recommended specifically to Austin Leak Detection by someone who had done similar work in the Austin area for decades & recently retired-- he had experience with most leak detection companies here & spoke extremely highly of Nick and his Austin Leak Detection team. We were fortunate to get on their schedule & they actually found (and repaired) two leaks in our pool. Our experience was very positive start to finish, below are some specific observations: Communication: 5/5. All our calls & emails were promptly returned & Nick (the owner) personally talked us through all the specifics & helped us understand their process & what to expect. Once the leaks were detected, all options for repair were explained (including cost conscious options). Transparency: 5/5. Every step on the process is clearly explained, including both the work performed & the prospective cost, and the techs took detailed notes & afterward provided everything to us. Professionalism: 5/5. The techs (Dylan & Zac) were punctual & always extremely polite, explaining their work & gladly answering any of our (many) questions. All our calls/texts were promptly returned & the team was very respectful of the pool area & our yard. Results: 5/5. Ultimately, this is what matters. We actually had two leaks & both were repaired, with warranties for the fixes. These guys know their craft & took care of everything-- both detection of the leak & also repair. We were very impressed. read more

Our Spa/Mini Pool had an issue of loosing 2" of water a day. Based on recommendations from a couple of pool experts, I tried two different highly rated companies to fix the problem. They both failed miserably. Based on my own research, I discovered American Leak Detection. They found the problem ( Bad joint connection under a concrete patio ) and repaired it. Not only did they fix the problem, but they patched the small hole they had to make in the concrete for the repair. I was VERY impressed with their work. Highly professional, keeping me informed at each step of the process. If you have a leak, contact American Leak Detection first. I wish I would have. read more

Paid fee to have them 1) determine I had a leak, and 2) tell me where the leak was. First issue, I was well aware based on 1.5" day water loss and the wet soil around the pool, I knew I had a leak. Second point was locating the leak. Unfortunately, they were only able to determine general area of leak. Net, net, was a fairly expensive fee for a couple hours of work with not much value added.

My pool was losing about an inch of water and I had no idea what to do. After looking around and comparing reviews and prices, I took a leap of faith and called Austin Leak Detection. Their technician Ian came and diagnosed the problem and even walked me through what was going on. He came up with a plan for a permanent fix and within a week, I was scheduled for a repair! This crew is the best and I can't sing their praises enough! read more

Our pool started losing water at a rate of just less than 2" per day about a week before we decided to call somebody for help. I called Nick and he and Marco came out the next day. They pressurized all the plumbing that actually tested OK. They found a small leak behind one of the light fixtures in the deep end using the simple die test. They fixed the leak and gave the entire pool a clean bill of health. No more leaks and no more having to top up the pool every day. Nick was great. He was very patient and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and used state of the art equipment to check out all the lines. My biggest worry was that there was really a leak in the plumbing but he included all of those checks during his inspection. He even sent us a full report later that day stating that the pool was 100% leak free. We've gone a few days since the leak was fixed and the pool water level hasn't moved. If you are having to add water every day or so to top up your pool you should call Nick. There's a leak! Thanks Nick and Marco. We couldn't be happier with the service you guys provided. If we ever have any other pool problems it will be these guys that get our call. read more

After some recent cold weather, my pool started losing 1/2"-1" of water per day. Nick's team came out and determined that there was a leak in one of my return lines. The next day, they repaired the line. Here's my issue: Nick told me that there was a minimum charge of 2 hours at $190/hr. I learned afterwards that this only applied to the leak detection. Nick's team was able to locate my leak in 20 minutes. It cost me another $650 for them to fix the leak. This process took about one hour. I brought this up to Nick, and he did knock $100 off the price of the detection, but I still ended up paying $930 for about 1.5 hours of work. Conclusion: you will probably be spending a minimum of $1000 with this company regardless of how long the detection/repair takes. read more

Great company, very happy with service and price. Forest was great and solved our pool leak. Very professional and helpful.

Fantastic experience with Austin Leak Detection! They showed up on time and were very courteous and professional. Using state-of-the-art equipment, they quickly located the leak and repaired it on the spot. I was nervous about the cost and was pleasantly surprised at how modest their charge was. I give them the highest recommendation and even told my pool guy to recommend them to any of his customers that have a leak issue. Great job! read more

These guys are hands down the best! While buying a home we needed some last minute help. They returned my phone call at 430 ON A FRIDAY and showed up monday even EARLIER than planned. Thorough, helpful, honest, personable, and i can say i will def use their services again! read more

Great company. Great Service. Nick and his team are professional and got the job done quick.

My pool company sent these guys out due to water loss issues. Provider was a nice guy. He found the leak, let me listen to it, and explained how it could be fixed and how much it would cost. He was also kind enough to explain how a previous leak issue really masked this smaller issue and our older piping type does not help. Knowing this will help us budget to replace the whole loop down the road and patching for now. read more

Came out promptly and diagnosed our situation; leaking pipe. Said he'd provide a quote to fix it but that we'd be better off finding someone closer to us to do the repair. Otherwise, we would have to pay an additional charge since we live so far away from them. Thanks so much for the help. read more

I recommend Austin Leak Detection if you suspect that you have a leak. Service was excellent from the first call to the locating of the leak and helping me get the required repairs. Nick knows what he's doing and works quickly and effectively. The leak was exactly where he said it would be. read more

Our pool was losing about 1.5 inches of water per day, after about 2 weeks without improvement I decided to give Austin Leak Detection a call. They came to inspect my pool within a week, found the leak within 30 minutes, and were able to schedule the repair the following week. They are very polite, thorough, and made sure I knew exactly what was happening and what the associated costs would be. I would highly recommend calling them if you feel you have a leak in your pool, you won't regret it. read more

This company is great. Really took the time to find and repair a problem leak we had for a long time. They were conscientious, polite and thorough. PLUS, they are reasonably priced for repairing a pool leak. I highly recommend them. read more

I called to set up an appointment. Before taking the appointment, Nick walked me through some things to check over the phone. His diagnosis was spot-on and I was able to fix the problem myself. He saved me the cost of having him come out. Thanks! read more

I highly recommend this company. After hiring and paying two other companies who charged a lot and could not find the source of my pool leak, I hired Austin Leak Detection. They found and repaired the leak in two days for a very reasonable price. Do yourself a favor, and start with this company--they are the best!!! read more

We had a leak in our pool and knew it had to be in the drain or drain plumbing since that was the only thing still under water. Most places wanted to charge us a pretty high standard price to find the leak even though we had it isolated to this one area. Nick talked with me about it on the phone, took the time to understand the issue and talked about some different choices for fixing the leak. Nick only charged us for the actual work that he needed to perform since our pool leak was much easier to find instead of some high base price like the other places. Nick was really great answering questions on our pool and even gave us some other contacts for some larger work we wanted to complete on our pool. He is straight forward and honest and will do a good job. He was also available much sooner than the other companies which had a week wait. He scheduled to come out the next day. read more

We had a major leak at our house. Our plumber didn't have the tools to find the leak without hours of digging up our yard. Nick came the very next day and found our leak within an hour or so. The next available leak detection service was not available within 7 days of our phone call and was higher in price. Nick was on time and helped us out. We really appreciate his friendliness, punctuality and and level of knowledge. We highly recommend his service. read more

Nick and Marco are great to work with, very thorough in their work and in explaining what they're doing, and very reasonably priced. They found my leak quickly, fixed it, and gave me a few pointers on how to maintain my pool. They are also both very responsive, and I also use them for pool maintenance when I'm out of town. That business is called"512 Pools." read more

We recently had all of the old concrete and coping from around the pool removed and replaced. Problem is that I could not get a prime on the pump after all this work. I had a pool equipment/repair company come out and they determined that I must have a very small leak somewhere on the suction side. As you can imagine, this became a VERY stressful situation because my first thought was that the leak is probably under this brand new concrete. I called Nick at Austin Leak Detection and he patiently listened to me and explained that really small leaks can be difficult to find (he figured it was a small leak because of the small amount of water I was loosing). Anyway, I set up an appointment for 9:30 a couple of days ago. At promptly 9:30 Tim arrived. Shortly after that, Nick arrived. Both guys wasted no time tracking the leak. Within an hour, I'm happy to say that a tiny leak was found just outside the concrete slab more than likely caused by the concrete contractor. Nick and Tim even noticed that at some point, parts from a back flow valve were removed. They had the parts on the truck and for a reasonable price replaced the needed parts. Big help. If I could give these guys a ten star rating, I would not hesitate. Thanks Nick and Tim for a job well done! read more
