DESCRIPTION:

American Leak Detection is the industry leader in the non-destructive detection of concealed water, sewer, and other leaks. Our concept is proven and affordable. We operate and franchise a network of highly trained leak specialists located throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, and we have great territories available for development and/or resale, both in the U.S. and internationally.

Since 1974 our network of franchisees has detected nearly 5 million leaks, saving home and business owners billions of dollars in costly repairs. We offer incomparable service to our customers, and we offer an incomparable opportunity for our franchisees to grow and thrive in a fresh and dynamic industry backed by a successful franchise system.

Our proprietary methods and equipment set us apart from the competition. Our training program is designed to expand upon the skills and knowledge which our franchisees already possess, and then apply those skills to a proven system, a system that has formed a global network of talented and dedicated business men and women.

American Leak Detection has consistently been ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine in their Franchise 500, and since 2005 Entrepreneur Magazine has ranked us #1 in the Miscellaneous Maintenance Category.

We have laid the foundation and made it easy for franchisees to come in, benefit from what we have already created, and start their own fully functional business.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT:

We are often asked if franchisees are required to have a background in plumbing. The answer is no. While knowledge of the field may serve as an advantage, it is not necessary. Our comprehensive, six-week training program will teach you everything you need to know.

Our training program includes:

Training on our proprietary equipment in a variety of residential and commercial settings
Marketing and business management tools and techniques
Navigation through our all-encompassing operations manual
Access to our American Leak Detection Intranet site, lead generation program, and individual, customized webpage

Although you own your own business, you are backed by a huge network of people who own the same business and experience the same day-to-day concerns. Our support system reflects our maturity in franchise operations. A few examples of our support systems are:

24-hour access to our Intranet, which provides an open, question/answer forum where you can ask other American Leak Detection franchisees for a solution or advice on any aspect of leak detection operations.
American Leak University, which offers refresher courses in everything from day-to-day operations, to marketing, to relationship development with local contractors, and much more.
A network of American Leak Detection corporate staff members and franchisees who will always be available to talk with you and answer your questions. Think of it as a safety net that most business owners only dream about.
Quarterly newsletters.
Every year American Leak Detection franchisees from all over the globe meet at our annual convention where you will have a chance to network with your peers, share success stories and ideas, and meet and learn from industry experts.
