It was truly a pleasure to speak with Brent. We are investors and were in need of a concise review of a pool that was part of the house that we were buying. Brent took the time to examine the pool and provided expertise that anyone who is in need of pool detection leaks or a general overview and assessment of a pool, could be 100% confident with his concise, and experienced assessment of the pool. There is no question in our mind that when it comes time to the use a pool expert in Austin, we will absolutely be calling him. Thank you, Brent!

Of the countless inspections i've purchased thru the years, A+ Pool Leak Detectives provided the most comprehensive, yet concise/easy to read report. Brent didn't simply present the facts, he offered his expert opinion, which is what you hire an inspector for. I will be using their services again and would highly recommend.

Brent with A+ Pool Leak Detectives saved the day! I was needing to refill my pool every other day and called on Brent (recommended by a pool builder) to help me solve my issue. Within two hours, he diagnosed the leak and repaired it. He also took the time to do a review of my (older) pool and share his opinion on the status of my plaster, piping, exterior wall, etc. Brent was easy to contact, replied promptly, and worked me into his schedule within a reasonable time frame.

Would absolutely recommend A+ Pool Leak. They did our pool inspection for our new home. They provided fantastic tutorials and videos on how our specific pool works and very nice PDF document that we can reference in the future. Great information for home buyers who may not be familiar with intricacies of pools. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top notch pool inspection.

Gave Brent a call. He returned my call quickly and although he is very busy at the moment (understandably), he offered to walk me through my current issue over the phone. Because its a leak that needs to be addressed sooner vs later, he advised me on who would be qualified to do the job and what all is needed to get the job done correctly. His expert advise provided some insight so that I wont get blindsided or misguided by any other professional. I can see now why he has a loyal client base and is booked out for several weeks.

Absolutely appreciate Brant's help with my pool leak questions! I was unsure about some dark spots on the outside cement of my pool. Brant was able to provide advice based on his extensive experience with many pools. I gained confidence that it was common to have dark spots with a pool that is not leaking. Although I didn't need a repair this time, I will be getting my next pool leak repair here!

I'm a puzzle solving, fix it yourself type and yet, my 31 year old pool was resisting my efforts to solve a suction side leak that was blowing so many bubbles through my return pipes that the pool sweep bag would fill up with air and rise to the surface. My pool service guy recommended I talk with Brent who had already solved multiple leak challenges with his other clients.
Brent was knowledgable and genuinely helpful from the very beginning.
Over the phone he provided me multiple things to do that would further isolate the problem and possibly allow me to fix the leak myself.
Unfortunately, the challenge persisted and I had Brent out to do the work. Per the other reviews for A+ Pool Leak Detectives, Brent is in the right line of work. He enjoys meticulously identifying leaks by leveraging his advanced tools, his experience, and his "let's get it done" assistant Omar.
The leak was solved by replacing a couple Jandy valve stem 'O' rings. The pool sweep is once more working, and his fancy machines gave me confidence that both my pool and hot tub are holding water properly despite their advancing age. Give Brent a call if you need a genuinely helpful guy to assist in making your pool relaxing once again.
