The Austech folks were all great to work with. They quickly found the leak that had been vexing us for over a year (in fact, 2 leaks) and then provided a quote for repair. Honestly, the quote might have been a little high, but we really liked the knowledge and confidence they showed in working with our pool system. They worked really quickly to repair the leak completely and even put our brick patio and yard back into place so that you can not even tell the work was done (and, yes, I saw the work actually happen in deep holes dug to get to the pipes). A week later, we are celebrating the fact that we are not having to refill our pool everyday. Great people to work with and highly recommend them. - Stephen from Austin, TX
I wasn't very happy when another leak detection company found one leak with die and left. Only after their 30 day warranty expired did I find I had more leaks. Austech checked my pool thoroughly with underwater listening gear, die and pressure. They found 3 leaks. All of them wasting water and costing me money. Now that I know where the water has been going I can take action. Knowing it can be fixed makes me happy. They suggested I close off the old return lines and put in a new line with return jet fittings that screw together instead of glue together. They encouraged me to get other quotes on repair work which I'm doing now. These guys took the time to do it right. Soon, I hope to have my pool full again and enjoying it. - Charles Mitchell from Austin, TX
I knew there was a leak in the pool, called a few companies, kept getting referred to Austech. Glad i did. Owner came out, checked the pipes and everything else, found the leak, made the repairs and now i don't have any more leaks. - Tony Durant from Austin, TX
Homeowners of the Pemberton Heights area in Austin, Texas have been dealing with standing water in their backyards for months on end. No one, not even the City of Austin can resolve the issue. Homeowners are frustrated and infuriated by the issue.
The City of Austin contacted Austin Water Utility to get some answers to resolve this delinquent issue. They performed extensive testing – all inconclusive. They then hired an independent contractor to conduct sonar testing on the main water lines – those tests resulted inconclusive as well.
KXAN News who has been following and reporting on this story since the beginning decided to take matters into its own hands and hire on Austin’s premier leak detection firm: Austech Leak Detection (that’s us!).
It did not take long for Darren Merlob (owner) and his team to get a hold of the problem. When residents learned of Austech’s findings, they were elated.
Darren Merlob says: “We dug in a few suspect areas, but when we hit the motherload, the area right before it runs downhill, we knew right away,” he told KXAN.
Merlob said the water could be coming from a couple of sources, but the main problem appears to be from a wastewater line. “This water over here smells like sewage, it needs to be tested and taken from that point on.”
