How can I tell if my pool has a leak or if it's just evaporation?

The most common way to test for a pool leak is the bucket test. Place a bucket filled with pool water on the top step, mark both water levels, wait 24 hours, and compare. If the pool lost more water than the bucket, you have a leak. In Dallas, Texas, even with extreme heat, pools shouldn't lose more than normal evaporation. If you're refilling your pool daily or several times a week, it's time to call a pool leak detection professional.

What are the most common signs of a pool leak?

Common signs include: refilling your pool 1-3 times per week, high water bills, constantly unbalanced chemical levels, recurring algae problems, your pump sucking air, and water running into your neighbor's yard or down the alley. If you notice any of these red flags, schedule an inspection with a professional leak detection service.

Where do pool leaks usually happen?

After 13 years of locating leaks, we've found that most leaks occur at penetration points in the pool shell, such as pool light niches, return fittings, main drain buckets, skimmer throats, and any area where the pool shell has been penetrated. Builders typically seal these points with glue, grout, or rubber, but those materials deteriorate over time.

How much does pool leak detection and repair cost?

Leak detection typically costs between $275 and $500 for residential pools. This is just the diagnosis and does not fix the leak. Repairs can range from $250 to $10,000 depending on severity. Our average repair cost is around $2,500. We recommend working with companies that both detect and repair leaks, backed by a solid warranty.

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, and cause underground plumbing damage. In North Texas, water from a leaking pool can saturate the expansive clay soil, causing foundation movement and cracks. Early detection prevents expensive repairs.

Do you offer a warranty on pool leak repairs?

Yes. We offer some of the strongest warranties in Texas: Lifetime warranty on structural crack repairs, 5-year warranty on pipe repairs, and 6-year warranty on seal repairs. If our repair fails within the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no additional cost.

Is it worth repairing an older pool or should I replace it?

It's absolutely worth repairing. A new pool in Texas costs upwards of $85,000, plus loan interest and a 7-9 month build timeline. Older pools are often built stronger than many of today's builds. Preserving and repairing your existing pool is usually a smarter and more cost-effective choice.
