Protecting Historic Pools in Dallas' Premier Neighborhoods
Highland Park and University Park together form the Park Cities, a 5.5-square-mile enclave completely surrounded by the city of Dallas. These affluent communities, located just 3 miles north of downtown Dallas, are known for tree-lined streets, architecturally significant homes, award-winning schools, and beautifully maintained properties—many with luxury swimming pools.
While the Park Cities represent some of the finest residential real estate in Texas, the homes here share the same geological challenge as the rest of Dallas: expansive clay soil. The soil in Dallas County is primarily composed of Houston Black-Heiden-Wilson clay, which is highly reactive to moisture changes. This clay can gain or lose up to 75% of its original volume as it absorbs water and then dries out.
The result is constant soil movement beneath pool structures. Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, creating a “push-pull” effect that stresses pool shells, separates plumbing connections, and damages equipment over time. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, nearly one quarter of all homes in the U.S. have some foundation damage from these soils—and pools face the same forces.
Many pools in Highland Park and University Park are decades old, having been built alongside historic homes in the 1920s through 1960s. These mature pools have weathered countless cycles of soil expansion and contraction, making them particularly susceptible to leaks. Even newer pools in renovated properties experience stress from Dallas’ challenging soil conditions.

Warning Signs Your Park Cities 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 very old. Is it worth repairing?
In most cases, yes. Pool leaks don’t typically indicate the pool has reached the end of its lifespan. Even pools built in the 1940s and 1950s can continue serving families for decades with proper maintenance and timely repairs. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your pool’s condition and whether repair makes sense.
How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
In Dallas’ 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.
What types of pools do you repair?
We repair all pool types—gunite, concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl. Whatever your pool, we have the equipment and expertise to find and fix the leak.
How long does a typical repair take?
It depends on the leak’s location and severity. Many repairs are completed same-day or within a few days. We’ll provide a clear timeline after diagnosis.
Will leak detection damage my landscaping?
Our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We can usually locate leaks without digging. If excavation is needed for repairs, we work carefully and can coordinate with your landscaper for restoration.
