★★★★★ Serving Florida since 1990 LIC CPC#1461444 · STATE CERTIFIED POOL CONTRACTOR

We didn't start
as a leak company.
That's why we're the best at it.

Founded in 1990 as a East Coast pool service company, Advanced evolved into a specialist because we kept finding the leaks no one else could. Thirty-five years later, 100,000 repairs deep, we're the name Florida's biggest venues call when a leak can't be public.

The Origin Story

From pool service
to specialist authority.

Advanced Leak Detection started in 1990 as Pristine Pool Service — a small Florida's East Coast operation. The original business handled everything: weekly cleaning, chemistry, equipment repair, and the occasional leak call.

But the leak calls kept getting more complicated. Customers would come to us after two or three other pool companies had failed to find the leak. Some jobs required draining the pool. Others required jackhammering a deck. Most of them required demolition that didn't feel necessary — and watching that happen, year after year, planted the seed for what Advanced would eventually become.

By the mid-90s we'd specialized entirely. We were building our own pressure-isolation equipment. We'd started experimenting with underwater crack injection — repairs performed by a diver on a pool that was still full of water. The technique worked, and as word spread among East Coast pool owners and the commercial properties that kept finding us, we stopped offering pool service altogether.

Today, Advanced Leak Detection East Coast is a State Certified Pool Contractor (CPC#1461444) serving Florida's East Coast — Volusia, Flagler, and Brevard counties. From the Halifax area and Daytona Beach down through Palm Coast and Merritt Island to Melbourne and Palm Bay, we're the specialist leak-detection crew homeowners, resorts, and property managers call when a pool or spa is losing water. The same owner-operator still runs the company. The same underwater repair techniques still differentiate us. And the same commitment to finding the leak without destroying the pool still defines every job we take.

The Journey

Thirty-five years,
one specialty.

A condensed history of how a small East Coast pool service became the pool leak specialist every major venue in the state has on speed-dial.

1990
Founded as Pristine Pool Service

A small residential pool service company starts in Florida's East Coast. Leak calls are a small percentage of the business — but the ones that come in are the ones other companies have already failed to solve.

1993
Pivot toward leak specialization

After three years of handling increasingly complex leak diagnostics, we begin dedicating crews to leak work exclusively. Regular pool service phases out; the company rebrands as Advanced Leak Detection.

1997
Underwater repair breakthrough

We develop the first version of our underwater crack-injection process — a technique that allows most pool shell repairs to happen without draining the pool. This becomes our signature capability and remains the core of our commercial work today.

2003
First theme-park commercial work

A marquee Orlando attraction operator brings us in to handle a water feature leak during park operations. Successful completion without public visibility leads to a long-running commercial relationship — still confidential, still active today.

2010
Deck-Saver™ IPR patent granted

Years of R&D culminate in a US Patent (7,717,137 B2) for our Internal Pipe Repair technique — a zero-excavation method for sealing underground plumbing leaks from inside the pipe. We remain the only leak detection company in the world offering this technology.

2012
East Coast dispatch expands

Regional dispatch numbers open for the Halifax area, Palm Coast corridor, and Space Coast. Same crew base, same warranties, same underwater technology — just closer to more East Coast pools.

2020
100,000 repairs milestone

Advanced surpasses 100,000 quality repairs across our Florida service footprint. Multi-year warranties remain in writing, remain honored, and remain the industry-leading specification no competitor will match.

2026
East Coast specialist focus

Advanced Leak Detection East Coast becomes the dedicated leak-detection specialist for Volusia, Flagler, and Brevard counties. Three and a half decades of refined underwater repair technology, concentrated on Florida's East Coast — the Halifax area, Palm Coast corridor, and Space Coast are one phone call away.

What We Stand For

How we actually do this job.

Three operating principles that shape every leak detection, every repair, and every customer interaction. These aren't marketing slogans — they're why our customers keep calling us back thirty years later.

Minimum destruction

Our default answer is always the least-invasive path. Underwater repair before draining. Targeted fixes before replacement. You should leave the interaction with your pool intact — not missing a deck.

Warranties in writing

A promise is marketing. A written warranty is a commitment. Every job gets 60-day detection coverage, 2-year minor repair coverage, and 3-year major repair coverage in writing.

Specialist focus

We find leaks and repair them. That's the entire scope. Thirty-five years of doing only one thing is how you develop the techniques nobody else has — and why property managers, insurance adjusters, and pool operators keep us on speed-dial.

"

We don't sell repairs we don't need to do. We don't drain pools we don't have to drain. And we don't put warranties in marketing copy — we put them in writing. That's the whole business model, and thirty-five years in, it still works.
