Why McKinney's Historic Charm Meets Modern Soil Challenges
McKinney serves as the county seat of Collin County, located approximately 30 miles north of Dallas. Once named “Best Place to Live in America” by Money Magazine, McKinney has grown from a charming railroad town with a beloved historic downtown into a thriving city of over 200,000 residents. The city’s mix of restored Victorian homes near the square and expansive master-planned communities to the north and west makes it one of the most desirable places to live in the DFW metroplex.
Whether your pool sits behind a renovated Craftsman bungalow or a newly constructed estate, it faces the same geological challenge: McKinney’s expansive clay soil. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the area covering Dallas through Collin and Denton counties contains over 50% clay content—among the highest in the country.
This clay soil, part of the Blackland Prairie region, contains smectite minerals that cause dramatic volume changes. Clay soil can exert up to 15,000 pounds per square foot of pressure on structures as it expands when wet and contracts when dry. The American Society of Civil Engineers reports that nearly one quarter of all homes in the U.S. have foundation damage from these soils—and pools face identical forces. The constant expansion and contraction stresses pool shells, separates plumbing connections, and damages underground lines.

Warning Signs Your McKinney Pool May Have a Leak
Not sure if your pool is leaking or just evaporating? Some water loss is normal in Texas heat, but watch for these warning signs:
- Water level dropping more than ¼ inch per day
- Needing to add water more than once per week
- Cracks appearing in the pool deck or coping
- Wet or soggy areas in your yard near the pool
- Algae growth despite proper chemical maintenance
- Increased water bills without explanation
- Air bubbles in the return lines
- Pool equipment losing prime frequently
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t delay. What starts as a small leak can quickly become a major structural problem—affecting your pool, your deck, and potentially your home’s foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
My pool is in an older McKinney neighborhood. Does age increase leak risk?
Older pools have experienced more years of soil expansion and contraction cycles, which can increase the likelihood of leaks developing at stress points. However, newer pools aren’t immune—the soil begins moving immediately after construction. We service pools of all ages throughout McKinney.
How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
In McKinney’s climate, pools typically lose about ¼ inch of water per day to evaporation during hot summer months. If you’re losing more than that, or if water loss continues at similar rates during cooler weather, you likely have a leak. The bucket test can help: place a bucket of pool water on your steps and compare water levels after 24 hours.
Can tree roots cause pool leaks?
Yes, particularly in established McKinney neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots can damage underground plumbing and even pool shells over time. Our detection methods can identify root-related damage.
How do you find a hidden leak in a pool?
There are several reliable technologies for locating leaks, including:
- Pressure testing
- Dye testing
- Electronic listening devices
- Ground probing
While these tools are essential, experience is everything. We’re often called in after other companies have failed to find the leak — even using the same tools. Our method, called the “process of elimination leak detection method,” consistently delivers accurate results.
Can a pool leak cause structural damage to my property?
Yes, absolutely. Unrepaired leaks can:
- Wash away soil
- Weaken your pool structure
- Crack concrete and foundations
- Cause underground plumbing damage
That’s why pool crack repairs are a major industry. If not addressed early, the damage can escalate and require:
- Steel or Teflon staples
- Epoxy injections
- Torch staples
- Steel pier foundation repair
- In extreme cases, complete pool removal
At Mr. Pool Leak Repair, we’re more than just a leak detection service — we’re a full-service repair company. We partner with engineers to ensure cracked pools are repaired the right way the first time. We’ve seen too many failed repairs from misdiagnosed cracks. In fact, pool staples have a 50% failure rate, which is why we rarely recommend them as a first option.
