High-Tech Leak Detection
We use pretty advanced gear to track down swimming pool leaks, no guessing, no unnecessary digging. Our sonic listening equipment picks up the tiny sounds water makes when escaping from cracks, underground pipes, or pool equipment.
That means we can find leaks quickly without tearing up your pool deck or wasting your time. Less water loss, less damage, and fewer surprises.
Getting Ready for a Leak Test
Before we show up, make sure your pool water is at its normal level. That helps us test every area where a leak might hide, ike the pool wall, tile line, or underground plumbing.
Give the pool a quick clean, too. Dirt and cloudy water can make it harder for us to work. A clear pool helps us find the leak faster and get straight to the fix.
Signs Your Pool Might Be Leaking
Not sure yet? Keep an eye out for these signs:
- You keep adding water every few days
- There’s a wet spot around the pool deck
- Air bubbles show up in the pool pump
- You see cracks in the pool shell or tile line
- Your water bill jumps for no reason
- Algae shows up faster than normal
If any of these sound familiar, do a quick bucket test: find more info here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pool leak is coming from the plumbing or the structure?
Our leak detection specialists use pressure testing and sonic listening equipment to determine if the leak originates in the plumbing system or from structural cracks in the pool shell or wall.
What is a dye test, and how does it work
A dye test involves placing colored dye near suspected leak areas such as cracks or fittings. If the dye is pulled into the area, it confirms a water leak.

Yes. We use specialized equipment to detect even small tears or pinholes in vinyl liners without draining the pool.

Most leak detection tests take a few hours, depending on pool size, equipment complexity, and how many leak points are found.
