Founded in 1974, American Leak Detection (ALD) has grown to become the recognized world leader in the accurate detection of hidden leaks. With proprietary methods, state-of-the-art technology and highly-trained professional specialists, American Leak Detection has revolutionized the process of locating concealed leaks.

Since 1974, our research and development has produced a wealth of tools to solve every type of leak problem in residential, commercial, industrial and municipal settings. ALD team members receive extensive training in all aspects of the business during the 6 - 10 week training course, which consists of hands-on technical training, marketing and business operations. Ongoing training, equipment improvements, new technology and methodology are continually under development at the corporate research center. Geographic regions and teams with specialty knowledge keep in constant contact to discuss joint assignments, cooperative programs, and, if necessary, challenging job resolution.

Through innovation, constant research and development and an unequaled commitment to customer service, American Leak Detection has grown to become the world's largest organization specializing in the accurate location of leaks.

There are currently 143 franchise teams in 160 locations. Locations include 38 states and 10 counties.

Bill and Karen Peterson have owned the local franchise since 1988. As the first to purchase an American Leak Detection franchise territory in Florida, they have built their reputation and their business based on a strong emphasis on customer service.

American Leak Detection has a strong presence in the environmental protection area. Water conservation and contamination prevention are serious issues and key areas of concern. At 40 psi, even a 1/16th inch hole in a pipe can cause a loss as great as 360,000 gallons annually. We provide solutions in terms of both water savings and pollution deterrence.
