Non-Invasive Leak Detection & Repair, Backed by 40+ Years of Experience

When a pool, spa, or fountain is losing water, guessing at the cause leads to unnecessary digging, wasted money, and repairs that miss the mark. American Leak Detection of San Bernardino brings over 40 years of leak detection experience to Redlands, using methods designed specifically for water features. Our guiding principle, Leak Detection Without Destruction™, means we confirm exactly where a leak is before any repair decision is made.

We use electronic listening devices, pressure testing, and dye testing to pinpoint the source without damaging your pool shell, surrounding tile, or yard. Once we know the exact location, you know what you’re dealing with and what a fix can cost.

Why Redlands Pool & Spa Owners Call Us First

As the original Leak Detection Specialists™, we’ve developed proprietary techniques for finding leaks without tearing up property. Our technicians complete a rigorous training program, so the person who shows up at your door knows how to work efficiently and accurately on water features of all types.

We arrive on time, finish within the agreed time frame, and leave the property clean. Pricing follows our “Know Before You Go” approach: you get an up-front estimate before any repair work begins, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

Pool, Spa & Fountain Leak Detection Services in Redlands

Our process treats location and repair as two distinct steps. We start by listening to your concerns and inspecting the water feature, then apply the right detection method for your specific setup.

Detection methods we use include:

Electronic listening devices to isolate leak sounds within plumbing and structure
Pressure testing to confirm whether a line is holding or losing pressure
Dye testing to trace the exact path water is taking when exiting the feature

Repairs can address components including structures around lights, main drains, return outlets, and tile lines. Because we locate the leak precisely first, repairs are targeted rather than exploratory, which can help keep costs and disruption down.

Is Your Pool Losing Water to a Leak or Evaporation?

Some water loss is normal. Evaporation, backwashing a filter, and splash-out all reduce water levels without signaling a leak. The challenge is knowing when the loss crosses from expected to something worth investigating.

Watch for these warning signs that point toward an actual leak:

Water bills noticeably higher than your normal usage pattern
Soggy soil or persistent wet spots near the pool deck or patio
Needing to refill your pool or spa more frequently than usual
Visible cracks or shifting in tile lines or coping

If you’re unsure whether the loss is from evaporation or a leak, the Bucket Test offers a quick check. Fill a bucket with pool water and set it on the top step so it’s partially submerged. After 24 hours, compare the water level inside the bucket to the pool level outside it. If the pool has dropped more than the bucket, evaporation alone doesn’t explain the loss, and a leak evaluation can make sense.

What to Expect During a Leak Evaluation

We start by hearing what you’ve noticed: when the loss began, whether it changes when equipment runs, and any visible damage. That context shapes how we approach the inspection for your specific property.

Detection is completed before any repair recommendation is made. Once we’ve confirmed the leak’s exact location using our non-invasive equipment, we can walk you through the findings and provide a clear estimate. You decide whether and how to move forward. There’s no pressure to commit to a repair on the spot.

"Outstanding"
“Outstanding customer service!”

- Sylvia B.
"All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner!"
“I cannot tell you how pleased we were with ALD's work this past week. Your company has assisted us in Palm Springs over the years and also, on occasion, at our main home in Pasadena. As you know, we have quite a unique property and extra care is required to maintain the original 1950's appearance of the home. We were frankly at a loss to find a practical solution to permanently eliminate the risk of our main sewer line clogging as a result of multiple root intrusions. We are also located on a rock ledge, further complicating the challenge. Your team was initially headed by Erick Morales, later joined by his supervisor Andy and as the project unfolded, by several other knowledgeable employees of the firm. All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner and Erick, who had been here in the past, stood out. I even suggested some additional work, yet Erick, once more, provided a more practical solution. Erick also worked very well with our staff. As a former Chief Executive of First Interstate Bank, later the senior Managing Director of what is today JPMorganChase and at present Chairman of the Palm Springs Art Museum, I was struck by your team's "advisory, consultative" approach rather than what is more typical "sales" approach. The team determined the source and location of the problem, discussed various alternatives, brought in experts, arrived at a workable solution which was then followed by a proposal. That proposal was executed to the letter, within budget and in a timely fashion. We would be most pleased to serve as a reference should this be helpful. It was a pleasure to meet you during the process.”

- Harold M.
"Prompt, thorough and completely professional."
“Please allow this letter to serve as our recommendation for American Leak Detection. We have used the services of this company on countless occasions over the many years, and we have always found them to be prompt, thorough and completely professional. A few years ago we had a string of leaks which had gone undetected during the summer months and had caused a tremendous amount of damage, including mold. Jimmy Carter and American Leak Detection came to our assistance immediately and solved the problems in a timely and competent manner. I might also add the office staff is always very courteous and helpful. We will continue to use the services of American Leak Detection in the future.”
