With so many pool leak detectors in the valley, how do you know which company to choose? There are a couple of important qualities to look for within professional leak detectors, especially when you are looking for a long-term relationship. From pool leak detection to home leak detection, if you can find a company with the following criteria, you are in good hands.
 

Pool Leak Detectors: Qualities of The Best
 

1. Provides Estimates in Writing

The last thing you want from a pool leak detector is ever-changing quotes. The company you hire should provide clear estimates in writing (and in turn, avoid verbal agreements) to prevent surprise bills for your leak detection services.

A great leak detection company is upfront and professional with all the necessary information. Industry-wide leak detection base rates will range from $175-$600, and this all depends upon the time on site and the difficulty and scale of the project. The tougher the leak, the higher the cost.

2. Has a Great Track Record

It’s important to do your research on the company you choose. Take a look at reviews online and take a look at them with the bigger picture in mind. No one can make everyone happy, but be aware of how the company responded to the problem. What do the positive reviews have in common, with the negative? Also, be sure to check credible websites like The Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List.

Another thing you can do is ask the leak detection company of your choice for references. A great company will be proud to do so.
 

3. Is Always Punctual

A pool leak detection company that answers every phone call professionally and personally, responds reasonably and arrives punctually is a company you want to keep around.

The Leak Science experts are the pool leak detectors that manage the entire leak detection process from finding your leak, extracting the concrete or flagstone, repairing the leak, and restoring your swimming pool deck- like nothing ever happened. This eliminates the need to hire an outside contractor to help restore your pool to its original condition. This leads to more strangers in and out of your home, and often higher costs. No need for longer repair times, and multiple teams! Leak Science is the only leak detection company to legitimately find and fix.

Why Water Leak Detection is Important

It’s astounding how much water is wasted in the United States per year due to undetected water leaks. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average household’s leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, and ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.

The average swimming pool takes about 18,000 gallons of water to fill, and an uncovered pool can lose thousands of gallons a month from evaporation in areas like our home, Arizona. Over the course of a year, that could add up to 30,000 gallons (and a very high water bill) if it is refilled each year. If your pool seems like it’s losing water, read this article for a few easy signs, or call us right away.

In our home alone, The City of Chandler has cited that an estimated 30% of all pools in the valley leak and waste water unnecessarily. What’s scary is, more often than not, people simply do not realize they have a leak until they are dealing with significant damage.
