American Leak Detection Franchise

Water, gas and sewer leak detection

When Richard and Lorrie Rennick founded American Leak Detection in Palm Springs, California, in 1974, they limited business to detecting pool, spa and slab leaks in the Southern California area. Since that time, the company has expanded beyond its desert roots'American Leak Detection now operates locations across the United States and around the world. Today, in addition to the pool, spa and slab work, American Leak Detection franchisees perform sewer- and utility-line locating; oil, gas and natural gas leak detection; crack injection; and various other related services.
