In this video, Roger Wakefield looks at slab leak detection equipment as an investment that keeps paying back.
What is leak detection equipment financing?
It is a loan for your tools. Instead of paying the full price up front, you pay a lender in monthly payments. APR, or annual percentage rate, is the yearly cost of borrowing; 0% APR means no interest is charged on the balance.
Does LeakPro offer financing?
Yes. LeakPro’s financing page says LeakPro partners with Affirm to make financing leak detection equipment straightforward and accessible, with manageable monthly payments, transparent terms and no hidden fees.
What does each LeakPro tool cost per month?
The product pages show these starting monthly amounts today:
- Complete Kit: $2,995, with financing from about $125/month or 0% APR through Affirm.
- Probe: $1,395, starting at $78/mo or 0% APR with Affirm.
- Sidekick Kit: starts at $1,795, with financing from $75/mo.
What do the monthly figures leave out?
The number of months. The pages show a starting monthly amount but not the length of the loan, so check the term and the APR Affirm offers you before you sign. The financing page also says Affirm payment options are subject to eligibility and may not be available in all states.
What comes in the Complete Kit?
Everything one or two technicians need on a single call, according to the Complete Kit page. The kit includes:
- One Sidekick and one Probe.
- Two headphones, so two people can work at once.
- A remote-controlled outlet and a universal hose-bib adapter.
- A training manual and a protective case.
How do the warranties protect a financed tool?
They cover the tool while you are still paying for it. The Complete Kit page lists a limited five-year warranty on the Probe and a one-year warranty on the Sidekick.
Can the monthly payment come out of the work?
That is the idea. LeakPro’s training page says locate jobs commonly bill $250 to $500 or more, and that they lead directly to major repair work. Set your rates with how to price leak detection.
Is there enough leak work to keep the tools busy?
Leaks are everywhere. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says on its WaterSense Fix a Leak Week page that household leaks can waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide, and that the average household’s leaks can account for more than 9,300 gallons wasted every year.
The EPA also says nine percent of homes have leaks that waste 50 gallons or more per day.
Does financing cover leak detection training?
The financing wording on leak-pro.com today is about equipment. The training page lists $8,000 for the initial booking, which includes training for one person, and $4,000 for each additional trainee, with a maximum of 3 people per class. Ask LeakPro how to pay for training when you book.
How do you apply for financing?
Start on the tool you want. The steps look like this:
- Pick the tool or kit that fits your work.
- Use the Affirm option on that product page, or contact LeakPro.
- Check your eligibility with Affirm.
- Read the term, the APR and the monthly payment before you accept.
