Why Garland Pools Leak
Most of Garland sits on Blackland Prairie clay, which is a fancy way of saying black dirt that soaks up the spring storms and swells, then dries out hard and cracked over the summer.
All that shifting pushes on the pool shell, the deck, and the plumbing, and it wears on the seals around the skimmer and fittings. Firewheel, Spring Park, Club Hill, Duck Creek, Buckingham, and the streets near Lake Ray Hubbard all sit on it.
Pools built from the ’70s through the ’90s carry the most wear. Their original seals and materials have been through decades of that, and that’s where leaks tend to start.
Services
Pool Leak Detection and Repair in Garland
We test before we fix anything, so you’re only paying for the repair the pool actually needs.
Leak Detection
We test the skimmer, returns, main drain, lights, and the lines that tie them together, then show you the results.
Skimmer Repair
It's one of the leaks we see most in Garland. The skimmer works loose from the shell as the clay moves, and we reseal it or put in a new one.
Crack Repair
A crack in the shell tells us the ground's been moving. We find out if it still is, then choose a repair that'll hold up to it.
Underground Pipe Repair
Buried lines crack when the clay shifts around them. We find the break from the surface and only open up what we need to.
Foundation Leveling
If the pool's tipping or sinking, a licensed Texas engineer helps plan the fix, and we set steel piers to hold it.
Tile and Coping
Cracked decks and loose coping are common across Garland because of the clay. We'll make the repair and check what's moving underneath.
Pumps, Filters, Lights
We handle pump and filter repairs on Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy equipment, and we fix pool lights that leak.
Pool Demolition and Removal
If you're ready to be done with the pool, we can demolish it and haul it out.
How We Find Your Leak
Initial Inspection
We start with the skimmer and the equipment pad, and we'll ask how often you've been adding water.
Dye Testing
Dye goes into the water at fittings, lights, drains, and cracks, and any opening pulls it in.
Pressure Testing
Each plumbing line is sealed and pressurized, and a gauge that won't hold steady points us to the leak.
Acoustic Detection
Acoustic equipment picks up the break on a leaking line, so the digging happens in one spot.
Structural Evaluation and Report
Signs of shifting, like cracks or a settling shell, get a licensed Texas engineer's review, and everything we find goes in your report.

Leak or Evaporation
Summer heat in Garland takes about a quarter inch a day off a pool. More than that usually means a leak, especially with any of these:
- Refilling the pool more than once a week
- A jump in the water bill you can’t account for
- Chemicals out of balance no matter what you add
- Algae that’s back a few days after you treat it
- Wet, spongy ground near the pool
- Bubbles showing up in the pump basket or the returns
To check it yourself, use the 24-hour tape test in the FAQ.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much will leak detection run me?
The pool’s size and how much plumbing there is to test set the price. A spa or lines that are hard to get to add time too. You’ll know the number before we start, and if the pool needs a repair, those average about $2,500.
Can a leak affect my house?
If it runs long enough, it can. Water from a pool leak soaks into the clay around it, and ground that stays wet can shift under nearby structures, your foundation included. Fixing the leak early keeps it from getting that far.
How do I do the 24-hour tape test?
Turn off the autofill first. Put a strip of tape on the pool tile at the water line and mark the level, then leave the water alone for 24 hours before you check it. Evaporation can take about a quarter inch a day in summer. More drop than that means you’ve likely got a leak.
Why do skimmers leak so much here?
The skimmer’s joined to the shell, and when the clay moves, the two don’t always move together. Over time that works the seal loose, and water starts getting out around it.
Can you fix it the same day?
Sometimes. Plenty of repairs wrap up in a day, while others need a few days. Pipe and pier jobs take longer, and you’ll know the timeline once we’ve found the leak.
