The Aquadoctor difference.

Most leak companies only come back if they missed something, but Aquadoctor comes back to confirm our patch (which are much better on a number of areas from the prep, materials used, and time spent/years of experience applying them) is holding and to restart the system for the out of town homeowner and ensure our work is up to quality standards and we are leaving the system running better than we found it.

In this case, we remedied 3 different leak sources and ensured solar was correctly bypassed so no added heat and increase expense (water, electricity if VSP pump, chemicals, etc) for homeowner and pool service alike. A lot of effort and dedication in our customer service bc without it how could we claim to have the best and most trustworthy/honest leak detection service in our local market? We take the old school approach- everything we have is based on our reputation and customers view of the company. We don't just want you to be a customer, we want you to be a fan of our business and share referrals with your neighbors, friends and family. That's the differnce, we don't use email newsletters and other email automated soliciting nonsense the BMLD models use to pump up the review volume....reviews mean so much, same companies spending for graphic vans are most certainly spending to remove legitimate bad reviews. Not in our budget and we will NEVER sell our customer data or sell a repair that is not fully needed.

There's so many tricks to try before fully replacing a skimmer or light niche. And some of them last longer than a rushed replacement that leaves a scar.

Had another leak company at your pool and are hesitant dropping several thousand for "recommended" repairs by a less than experienced tech or large company who sells lots and lots of pool repairs instead of specializing in actual leak detection with the proven years of experience? Call Aquadoctor for a second opinion to have the business owner and actual commercial license holder (CPC #1461568) at your pool telling you the truth of both the problem and multiple solutions.

We care about your water use, budget, long term structual integrity for you pool, and that our customers are not getting some larger company process.

Helping a Venice customer with reported weekly filling of pool, measurements were performed to ensure water loss was not merely evaporation losses (something I always like to know first- other leak companies will get your deposit and put you on schedule immediately).

After over a decade doing leak detection, it is always best to have water loss levels confirmed so that the pool owner has a realistic expectation that a leak detection and leak repairs will not eliminate normal evaporation losses. The only way to minimize normal evaporation is more rain, a cover, or turn down the heater/bypass solar collector.

This pool leak was found and resolved all at the included price agreed to before the job. Simple, honest and reliable pool leak detection.

UPDATE: Aquadoctor is now officially licensed at the highest possible level in the state of Florida for Pool Construction as a Commercial Pool Builder aka CPC. Not a servicing contractor who shouldn't be performing structural repairs, period. Not pool service illegally subcontracting/referring repairs & leak detection work for profit. Not an employee maybe working under someone else's license, minimally trained and background checked. The real deal Holyfield. Your tech on jobs will be a commercially licensed contractor, me, Doug Rivas, the one man leak FE/EIT certified Mechanical Engineer and Commercial CPC. No other leak detection company comes close to these credentials and our pricing is the same if not MUCH less expensive because I don't upsell repairs. Pool Leak Detection service and pool repairs are 2 different services. Don't like my repair estimate, shop around and find out why cheaper isn't always best.

Our mission remains the same- save our customers' water, money on pool repairs (yes, we have trade secret repairs that are not "bubblegum" if a bubble dumb Big Money Leak Detection company tech tells you that you have to spend thousands to fix your pool) and headache with water losses/pool remodeling. Aquadoctor loves giving second opinions to save you thousands if you didn't call us the first time your pool lost water and your bank account took a hit.
