What's Behind Murphy Pool Leaks
Murphy’s in the southern part of Collin County, and a lot of the homes here have pools. The ground under them is Blackland Prairie clay, which is about as hard on a pool as dirt gets around here.
Wet weather makes the clay swell up and press against the pool, and a dry stretch shrinks it back again. The shell, the buried plumbing, the equipment connections, and the deck all feel that push and pull.
You’ll often notice it first as a pool that needs more water than it used to, or a crack in the deck that keeps getting wider.

Pool Leak Detection and Repair in Murphy
Testing tells us what’s actually leaking, so that’s where we start. You’ll get the repair price once we know.
Leak Detection
We check the shell, the fittings, and every buried line, and we don't stop at the first leak if there might be another one.
Skimmer Repair
Skimmers get stressed as the deck around them moves. If yours is cracked or has separated from the shell, we'll reseal or replace it.
Crack Repair
We repair shell and plaster cracks that leak, and we check for settling nearby, since that's often what caused them.
Underground Pipe Repair
When the clay shifts, buried pool lines can crack or come apart at the joints. We locate the break first so the dig stays small.
Foundation Leveling
Settling pools get steel piers, and a licensed Texas engineer is part of that work from the start.
Tile and Coping
Waterline tile and coping can crack when the deck and shell move differently. We replace what's broken and seal the joint so water stays out.
Pumps, Filters, Lights
We fix Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy equipment, including leaks at the pump, the filter, and the pool light.
Pool Demolition and Removal
We remove pools too, breaking out the shell and taking the debris away.
How We Find Your Leak
Initial Inspection
It starts with a conversation about what you've noticed, then a walk around the pool and equipment.
Dye Testing
Dye goes in the water near fittings, lights, and cracks, and it shows us if any of them are pulling water out.
Pressure Testing
Every line is pressurized on its own so we can see which one is losing pressure.
Acoustic Detection
Our listening equipment picks up the leak underground, so we can mark where to dig.
Structural Evaluation and Report
If settling is part of the problem, we'll bring in a licensed Texas engineer. You get a full report either way.

Common Signs of a Leak
Evaporation in hot weather runs about a quarter inch a day. If you’re losing more than that, look for these too:
- Filling the pool every few days
- A deck crack that keeps getting longer
- Wet soil around the equipment pad
- A higher water bill without a clear reason
- Algae or cloudy water even with good chemistry
- Bubbles coming out of the return jets
For a quick check at home, try the 24-hour tape test in the FAQ.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much will leak detection cost in Murphy?
Your price is set by the pool’s size and how much plumbing we have to test. We’ll price any repairs after the testing, before we do the work, and those average about $2,500.
Can the soil really make a pool leak?
It can. Blackland clay swells and shrinks with the weather, and over time that movement can crack a shell, separate a pipe joint, or break up a deck. That’s also why a pool that held water fine for years can start leaking without anything else changing.
How do I check for a leak on my own?
Use the 24-hour tape test. Switch off the autofill, lay a strip of tape along the water line, and mark the level. Don’t add any water, and check it a day later. Evaporation takes about a quarter inch a day in summer, so if the pool’s dropped more than that, water’s likely escaping somewhere.
Do you repair the deck too?
We do concrete pool deck work as well. If the deck’s cracked or sinking, we’ll check whether a leak underneath is part of the reason before we fix it.
Is it worth fixing an older pool?
Most of the time. Once we know what’s leaking, you’ll have a price and can weigh it against what the pool’s worth to you. If it’s not worth saving, we do demolition too.

Get Your Murphy Pool Leak Fixed Today
Stop watching your water disappear. A pool that keeps losing water also keeps soaking the clay around it, and wet Blackland clay swells. It’s better to find the leak before the deck and shell start feeling it.
