Local Know-How
Why Allen Pools Leak
Many of Allen’s backyard pools went in during the ’90s and early 2000s, in neighborhoods like Watters Crossing, Shadow Lakes, Twin Creeks, and Lost Creek Ranch. That’s about the age when the original plumbing and the skimmer seal start giving out.
Allen’s on heavy black clay. It swells after a wet spring and shrinks and cracks in a dry August, and your pool, deck, and plumbing get pushed around every time it does. Give it enough summers and a seal lets go or a fitting cracks.
If you’ve got an autofill, you might not catch it for a while, because it keeps topping the pool off for you. Usually the first clue is the water bill.

Pool Leak Detection and Repair in Allen
We start every job by finding the leak. Nobody should be quoting you a repair before they know what’s actually broken. If you already know what’s wrong and just need it fixed, head over to our Allen pool repair page.
Leak Detection
We test until we find where the water's going, and you'll have it in writing the same day. The steps are below.
Skimmer Repair
Skimmers are what we fix most in Allen. We'll reseal yours or put in a new one, depending on how bad it is.
Crack Repair
Whether it's a hairline crack or one that goes clear through the shell, we figure out why the pool moved before we patch it. Otherwise it just opens back up.
Underground Pipe Repair
We find the break first, then cut out just the piece of deck, or dig just the spot in the yard, that's over it. Nobody trenches your whole backyard.
Foundation Leveling
If the whole pool is settling, we bring in a licensed Texas engineer and set steel piers under it.
Tile and Coping
We replace cracked waterline tile and reset coping that's lifting. Either one can be an early sign the pool's moving, so we'll check for that too.
Pumps, Filters, Lights
We work on Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy equipment, and we can usually tell what's wrong without leaving the equipment pad.
Pool Demolition and Removal
Done with the pool? We'll take it out, haul off the debris, and get the yard ready for whatever you want there next.
How We Find the Leak
Initial Inspection
We walk the pool, deck, equipment, and yard, and we'll ask whether it drops faster with the pump on or off.
Dye Testing
We put dye near every skimmer, return, light, drain, and crack. If it gets pulled into a gap, that's your leak.
Pressure Testing
We cap each plumbing line and pressurize it. If the gauge drops, that line's leaking.
Acoustic Detection
Once we know which line it is, we listen along it to find the break, so we're only cutting over the leak.
Structural Evaluation and Report
If the shell or deck is moving, we'll tell you straight and bring in a licensed Texas engineer.

Signs Your Pool Is Leaking
Some water loss in a Texas summer is normal. A hot day can take about a quarter inch. If you’re losing more than that, or you’re seeing any of these, it’s worth having it checked:
- You’re adding water more than once a week
- Your water bill jumped and nothing else changed
- The chemicals won’t stay balanced, or algae keeps coming back
- There’s a soggy spot in the yard near the pool or the equipment
- Cracks are showing up in the tile, the coping, or the deck
- You see air bubbles in the pump basket or coming out of the returns

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pool leak detection cost in Allen?
We price it by the size of the pool, how much plumbing we have to test, and how easy it is to get to, and you’ll have that number before we start. It includes a report showing where the leak is. Any repair gets its own estimate up front, and repairs average about $2,500.
What's the most common leak you find around here?
Skimmers, most of the time. As the clay moves, the seal between the skimmer and the pool pulls apart or the throat cracks. After that it’s cracks in the shell, then underground return and suction lines, especially on pools built before 2005.
How can I tell if it's a leak or just evaporation?
Try the 24-hour tape test. Turn off the autofill, put a strip of tape on the tile at the water line, and mark the level. Don’t add any water for 24 hours, then check it. Evaporation can take about a quarter inch a day in summer, so if it’s dropped more than that, you likely have a leak. A pool that loses water faster with the pump running is another giveaway.
How long does a repair take?
Most crack and skimmer repairs are done in one visit. Leveling a pool with steel piers usually takes two to three days. Underground pipe jobs depend on where the break is, and you’ll get a timeline with your estimate.
Can you inspect a pool before I buy the house?
We do pre-closing leak inspections, and home inspectors around DFW refer buyers to us. If the seller had pier, pipe, or seal work done by us, those warranties can transfer to you with written notice within 30 days of closing. The details are on our warranty page.
