How It Works
Our Process
- 1
Visual & equipment inspection
We walk the pool, equipment pad, and surrounding deck to rule out the obvious — autofill failures, splash-out, plumbing drips at the pad.
- 2
Pressure test plumbing lines
Each suction and return line is isolated and pressurized. A line that loses pressure tells us exactly which run is leaking.
- 3
Dye & acoustic testing in the shell
In the water we use dye and electronic listening devices to pinpoint cracks, bad fittings, light niches, and skimmer separations.
- 4
Written findings & next steps
You get a clear explanation of what we found, where, and what it takes to fix — no upsell, no scare tactics.

The Details
What Swimming Pool Leak Detection Includes
Swimming pool leak detection is a single-visit diagnostic that checks the whole system — not just the spot where you think the water is going. We start at the equipment pad, because a surprising number of "pool leaks" turn out to be a drip at a valve, a failing backwash line, or an autofill quietly masking real water loss.
From there we pressure test the plumbing line by line. The skimmer, returns, main drain, cleaner line, and any spa lines are each isolated and pressurized separately, so a bad run cannot hide behind a good one. Then we move to the water itself: dye testing and electronic listening equipment in the shell to check skimmer throats, return fittings, light niches, and any visible cracks.
By the end of the visit you know where the pool is leaking, how bad it is, and what it will take to fix — in writing, not a guess over the phone.
What It Costs
Swimming pool leak detection is priced by the job, not by the hour — the size of the pool, the number of plumbing lines, and whether a spa is attached all factor in. You get the price up front and a written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises when we are done.
If we find something that needs repair, that is quoted separately in writing — you decide what happens next. For a look at what drives the price, see our cost guide below.
Found the Leak? We Fix It Too
Detection is step one. Many companies stop there and hand you a report — we do not. The same crew that finds your leak can usually repair it on the spot: skimmer reseals, fitting replacements, and many plumbing repairs happen the same visit, and every repair is guaranteed in writing.
If the pressure test points to an underground line, we trace the failure to the exact spot and open only that section of deck — not the whole thing.

Common Questions
How do I know if my pool actually has a leak?
Run a bucket test. Fill the pool to the middle of the waterline tile and mark it with tape, then place a 5-gallon bucket filled to the top on the top step. Run the pool normally for 24 to 48 hours with water features off. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you almost certainly have a leak.
Will you have to break my deck or pool?
No. Our job is to find the leak first. Detection is non-invasive — repair, if it requires opening anything, is only done after we confirm the exact location and you approve.
How long does leak detection take?
Most pools are diagnosed in one visit, typically 1–2 hours depending on size and how many leaks are present.
Do I need to drain my pool for leak detection?
No. Swimming pool leak detection is done with the pool full — dye testing and acoustic listening only work with water in the pool. Keep it filled to the middle of the waterline tile, and if it is losing water quickly, keep topping it up until we arrive.
What should I do before you arrive?
Fill the pool to the middle of the waterline tile, leave the pump running on its normal schedule, and make sure we can reach the equipment pad. If you are running a bucket test first, keep water features off so the reading is accurate.
