Why Richardson Pools Face Serious Leak Risks
Richardson sits on some of the most expansive clay soil in Texas. Located in the Blackland Prairie, most homes here are built on Houston Black–Heiden–Wilson clay—famous for extreme shrink-swell behavior. This soil can gain or lose up to 75% of its volume depending on moisture, swelling during wet periods and shrinking deeply during hot, dry summers. That movement pushes and pulls against pool shells, underground plumbing, foundations, and concrete decks year-round.
Dallas and Collin counties have some of the highest clay content in the country, and North Texas ranks among the hardest-hit regions for soil-related structural damage. For Richardson pool owners, that means constant ground pressure—even when everything looks normal on the surface.
Older pools in established neighborhoods like Canyon Creek, Cottonwood, Heights Park, Greenwood Hills, Berkner Park, Northrich, Breckinridge, Sherrill Park, Owens Park, and Yale are especially vulnerable as original materials and seals age.

Our non-invasive dye test visually confirms suspected leaks by revealing even hairline cracks and gaps in your pool shell, fittings, and connections.

Cracked, uneven, or sinking pool decks are common in Lewisville due to the area's reactive clay soil. We level, repair, and reinforce concrete to restore safety and appearance.

Signs Your Richardson 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:
- Adding water to your pool more than once a week
- Unexplained spike in your water bill
- Pool chemicals constantly out of balance despite regular treatment
- Algae returning quickly after treatment
- Wet or soggy areas in your yard near the pool
- Cracks in pool tile, coping, or deck concrete
- Air bubbles in the pump basket or return lines
- Water level dropping more than ¼ inch per day
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t delay. In Richardson’s highly reactive clay soil, water escaping from a pool leak can erode the ground beneath your pool and nearby structures. 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
Can a pool leak damage my home's foundation?
Yes—especially in Richardson. The area’s highly expansive clay soil makes foundation damage from water infiltration a serious risk. Water escaping from a pool can wash away supporting soil and trigger foundation settling or cracking. Given that nearly 1 in 4 homes nationally experience foundation damage from expansive soils, and North Texas has among the worst conditions, addressing pool leaks promptly is essential.
How do I know if it's a leak or evaporation?
Try the bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, mark the water level in both the bucket and at the pool’s edge, wait 24 hours, and compare. If the pool lost significantly more water than the bucket, you likely have a leak. Or call us for a professional assessment.
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.
