REPAIR

A pool leak that goes unaddressed becomes a much larger problem. We use professional leak detection equipment — dye testing, pressure testing, and visual inspection — to pinpoint the exact leak location, then provide honest repair options with written pricing.

PROFESSIONAL POOL LEAK DETECTION

If your water level is dropping faster than normal evaporation, you have a leak. Identifying the leak location is the critical first step — leaks can occur in skimmers, main drains, underground plumbing, equipment seals, or the structure itself. We use specialized equipment and decades of experience to locate your leak accurately, then provide repair solutions with written estimates.

OUR 4-STEP LEAK DIAGNOSIS

01
Bucket Test
We verify you have an actual leak vs. normal evaporation before any diagnostic work begins
02
Visual Inspection
We look for wet spots, settling, or visible cracks around the pool perimeter and equipment
03
Dye Testing
We use dye to trace water flow and pinpoint the exact leak source in fittings and surfaces
04
Pressure Testing
For underground plumbing leaks, we pressure test supply and return lines to pinpoint breaks

LEAK TYPES WE REPAIR

Skimmer Leaks
Failed gaskets, cracked fittings, or loose connections at the skimmer housing
Main Drain Leaks
Underground drain line breaks or loose connections beneath the pool floor
Plumbing Leaks
Supply or return line ruptures, corrosion, or joint failures underground
Equipment Leaks
Pump seal failure, heater connections, filter tank cracks, or valve leaks
Structural Leaks
Cracks in the pool shell, vinyl tears, concrete deterioration, or gunite erosion

REPAIR SOLUTIONS & COSTS

Once the leak is found, repair complexity and cost depends on the leak type and location. Skimmer or equipment leaks are often straightforward. Underground plumbing leaks may require excavation and replumbing. We provide honest options in writing before any work begins, so you understand the work and cost involved.

Warning Signs

SIGNS YOUR POOL
HAS A LEAK

Rapid water loss, wet spots, or equipment issues all point to a leak. Early detection prevents expensive damage.

RAPIDLY DROPPING WATER LEVEL

Normal evaporation is 1-1.5 inches per week. If your level drops faster, especially overnight, you likely have a leak.

WET SPOTS OR SOGGY AREAS

Wet patches near the pool deck or yard indicate water escaping from underground plumbing or structural cracks.

HIGHER WATER BILLS

A sudden increase in your water bill is a red flag for a leak. Compare usage month-to-month.

AIR BUBBLES IN RETURN JETS

Air in the return side indicates the suction line has a leak pulling in air instead of water.

ALGAE DESPITE PROPER CHEMISTRY

Algae blooming despite balanced chemicals and chlorine suggests water bypass or insufficient circulation from a leak.

CRACKED DECK OR GROUND SHIFTING

Concrete cracks or ground settling near the pool indicate water escaping and eroding soil underneath.

Common Questions

POOL LEAK DETECTION — FAQ

Normal evaporation is 1-1.5 inches per week depending on temperature and humidity. A simple test: fill a bucket with pool water and place it on the deck. Measure both water levels after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you have a leak. If they're similar, it's evaporation. Our $150 diagnostic includes this test plus dye testing to locate leaks.
A thorough leak detection typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. We use dye testing, visual inspection, and pressure testing if needed. The diagnostic fee is $150, fully credited toward your repair if you proceed. You receive a written repair estimate before any work begins.
We locate and repair skimmer leaks, main drain leaks, underground plumbing leaks, pump seal leaks, filter tank leaks, light niche leaks, and structural cracks or vinyl tears. Each leak type has different repair methods — some are simple, others require excavation. We diagnose the leak, then provide repair options with pricing.
Leak repair costs depend entirely on the leak type and location. A simple skimmer or equipment leak might cost $300-$500. Underground plumbing leaks requiring excavation could cost $1,000-$5,000 or more. We always provide written estimates after diagnosis so you understand the cost before proceeding.
