Pool & Spa Leak DetectionFind it. Fix it. Without draining the pool.

Pool leaks are tricky.Here's how we actually find them.

Pool leaks fall into three buckets: structural (the pool liner or shell), plumbing (return lines, suction lines, skimmer pipes), and equipment (pump fittings, filter, valves). Each requires a different detection method. We use all of them.

Step one is usually a bucket test to confirm you actually have a leak versus normal evaporation. From there: dye testing at the waterline, skimmers, returns, and lights to find structural leaks. Pressure testing on the suction and return lines to find plumbing leaks. Electronic listening to pinpoint underground line leaks. Equipment-area inspection to find backflow at the pump, filter, or valves.

The goal is to find the leak without draining the pool — draining is expensive (replacement water + chemicals) and can crack the shell from pressure changes. We can usually pinpoint and repair without ever lowering the water level significantly.

• Bucket Test FirstConfirms you actually have a leak vs. just Vegas summer evaporation (which can be up to half an inch per day).
• Dye TestingNon-toxic dye reveals exact leak locations in pool liners, skimmers, returns, lights, and stair fittings.
• Pressure TestingTests suction and return lines under pressure to find plumbing leaks before draining anything.
• Underground AcousticFor buried pool plumbing, we use the same acoustic gear that finds water main leaks.
• Equipment Area CheckPump fittings, filter, valves, heater connections — we check every potential leak point above ground too.
• No-Drain RepairMost pool leaks can be repaired without draining. Saves you on replacement water and chemicals.
