What is Leak Detection and When Do You Need It

A Yuma pool loses about a quarter inch of water per day to evaporation in summer. If your pool is losing more than that, or losing water year-round at the same rate, you likely have a leak.

Leak detection is the diagnostic step that finds where the water is going. The leak might be in the pool shell, the plumbing, the equipment pad, or the autofill system. Without accurate detection, repair guesses are expensive and often miss the actual problem.

If you're refilling your pool more than once a week in summer, or you're seeing wet spots near the equipment pad, the deck, or the surrounding landscaping, you should test for a leak.

Our Leak Detection Process

We start with a bucket test to confirm whether the loss exceeds normal evaporation. If it does, we move to systematic diagnosis.

We pressure-test the plumbing lines where access allows. We use dye testing to check the pool shell, fittings, and skimmers for visible leaks. We isolate the equipment to determine whether the leak is in the pool or the equipment pad. Where needed, we use specialized leak detection equipment to pinpoint underground leaks without unnecessary digging.

Once the leak is located, we give you a written quote for the repair before any work begins.

Pricing for Leak Detection

Standard pool leak detection runs between $250 and $450 depending on pool complexity and whether underground line testing is required.

Repair pricing is separate and is quoted after we know what we're fixing. We don't bundle detection and repair into a single price because that creates incentives to find more "leaks" than actually exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a leak or just evaporation?

The bucket test is the standard answer. Place a bucket on a pool step, fill it to match the pool water level, and check it after 24 hours. If the bucket water dropped less than the pool water, you have a leak. We can run this test for you or walk you through doing it yourself.

How long does leak detection take?

Most pool leak detections take 2 to 4 hours on site. Underground line testing can extend that time.

Will you have to dig up my deck or yard?

Not for detection. Detection is non-invasive in most cases. If a repair requires excavation, we'll tell you before work starts and quote it separately.

Can you fix the leak after you find it?

Yes. We're a full-service pool repair company. We can quote and complete most leak repairs. There's no obligation. The detection report is yours regardless of who does the repair.

What's the most common cause of pool leaks?

The most common sources are skimmer cracks, plumbing fittings at the equipment pad, return line leaks underground, and shell cracks at structural transitions.
