Why Arlington Pools Leak
Many Arlington homes went up between the ’70s and the ’90s, often on bigger lots with room for a pool down the road. You’ll find plenty of those in Forest Hills, Interlochen, Dalworthington Gardens, and the older streets in north, south, and west Arlington.
Arlington’s clay soaks up water in a wet spell and swells, then shrinks back as it dries out, and the pool and its pipes get dragged along with it. A dry month followed by a week of storms isn’t unusual here, and each swing works on those old seals a little more.
Pools out in Viridian sit on that same clay, so they’re not off the hook either.
Services
Pool Leak Detection and Repair in Arlington
Most calls start with a pool that won’t hold water and nobody’s sure why. We’ll test it, walk you through what we found, and then talk about which of these it needs.
Leak Detection
We pressure test the lines, check the fittings and the shell, and go over the results with you before we leave.
Skimmer Repair
Skimmer seals on older pools dry out and crack. We'll reseal the skimmer to the shell, or put in a new one if the body itself is split.
Crack Repair
A crack in the shell can open and close as the clay moves with the weather. We find out whether it's still moving, then pick the repair that fits.
Underground Pipe Repair
On a big lot the equipment can sit a long way from the pool, with plenty of pipe in between. We narrow the leak down to one spot so that's the only place we dig.
Foundation Leveling
When one end of the pool sits lower than the other, we bring in a licensed Texas engineer, and steel piers go in underneath to keep it from sinking further.
Tile and Coping
Waterline tile pops off and coping works loose as a pool gets older. We'll put it back and tell you if the pool shifting is what knocked it off.
Pumps, Filters, Lights
If it's a Pentair, Hayward, or Jandy pump or filter, we can fix it. Same goes for a pool light that's leaking or has quit.
Pool Demolition and Removal
Some folks decide the pool's more trouble than it's worth. We'll break it out and haul it off so the backyard's usable again.
How We Find the Leak
Initial Inspection
First we want to hear how much water you're adding and how often. Then we look around the pool and the equipment for clues.
Dye Testing
We put dye in the water near fittings, lights, drains, and cracks. If the water pulls it in, we've found an opening.
Pressure Testing
We seal off the skimmer, return, and drain lines and pressurize them one by one to see which of them won't hold.
Acoustic Detection
On a line that won't hold, we listen underground with acoustic gear. The sound of escaping water tells us where to open up the ground.
Structural Evaluation and Report
Cracks or settling go in your report, and a licensed Texas engineer weighs in on anything structural.

Signs of a Pool Leak
Evaporation can take about a quarter inch a day off an Arlington pool in summer. Anything past that is worth looking into, and so are these:
- The hose is out every few days to keep the level up
- Your water bill’s higher and nothing else has changed
- The chlorine won’t stay balanced, or algae comes back soon after you treat it
- Grass by the pool or the equipment pad that stays wet
- Tile or coping that’s cracked or coming loose
- Bubbles coming out of the return jets
There’s a free way to check too: the 24-hour tape test, down in the FAQ.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does leak detection cost in Arlington?
What you’ll pay for leak detection comes down to the pool’s size and how much plumbing there is to test, so a pool with a spa or a long run of pipe out to the equipment usually costs more. You’ll know the price before we start on anything. If you need a repair, those average about $2,500.
Can a pool leak hurt my house's foundation?
It can if the leak’s been going a while and the pool’s close to the house. All that water soaks into the clay, and clay that stays wet can shift a slab. The sooner it’s fixed, the less water goes down there.
Is it a leak or just evaporation?
The 24-hour tape test will tell you. With the autofill turned off, put a strip of tape on the side of the pool at the water line and mark where the water sits. Leave it a full day without adding any water, then take another look. On a summer day, evaporation alone can take about a quarter inch, so if it’s dropped further than that, you’ve likely got a leak.
Do you work on vinyl and fiberglass pools?
We do. Gunite, concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl, if it’s an in-ground pool, we’ll test it and fix what we find.
Does the weather really make a difference?
It does. Arlington can go from weeks without rain to days of storms, and the clay under your pool swells and shrinks each time. That pushes on the shell and the pipes and wears on the seals and fittings.

Get Your Arlington Pool Leak Fixed Today
Stop watching your water disappear. Whatever leaks out soaks into the clay around the pool, and wet clay is what pushes shells and pipes around in the first place. We’d rather find it now than after it’s caused a second problem.
