Why Longmont Pool Owners Trust American Leak Detection of Northern Colorado

With over 40 years of industry experience, we’ve developed proprietary techniques as the original Leak Detection Specialists™ that locate leaks without damaging the surrounding structure. Our “Know Before You Go” pricing means you receive an upfront estimate before any work begins. Technicians arrive on time, finish within the agreed time frame, and leave the site clean.

That approach has produced real results for customers here. A Longmont apartment complex reported that our team located a buried pool piping leak to within a two-foot area on multiple occasions, making a targeted, economical repair possible rather than wide-area excavation.

Why Pools in the Longmont Area Develop Leaks

Much of the Longmont and Boulder County region sits on expansive clay soil, recognized as Colorado’s most significant geologic hazard. This soil swells when saturated and contracts sharply when it dries out, creating ongoing ground movement beneath and around pool shells and buried plumbing. Over time, that movement disrupts fittings, stresses joints, and can fracture lines that were installed correctly.

The region’s semi-arid climate adds another layer of stress. Seasonal freeze-thaw swings push and pull pool plumbing and shell materials repeatedly each year, accelerating shell cracks, failing return and suction fittings, deteriorated plumbing joints, and loose skimmer connections.

Signs Your Pool Is Leaking, Not Just Evaporating

Losing more than a quarter inch of water per day is a strong indicator of a leak rather than normal evaporation. The bucket test offers a simple check: fill a bucket to pool-water level, set it on a step in the pool, and compare water loss against the pool over 24 hours. If the pool drops significantly more than the bucket, a leak is the likely cause.

Other signs worth noting:

• Skimmer line frequently exposed even though you’ve been adding water more often than in past seasons
• Bubbles shooting from return jets, which can indicate a fractured suction line drawing air from surrounding soil
• Gurgling sounds from the pump basket, suggesting hidden air intrusion or a flow restriction
• Muddy or unusually green patches near the pool equipment pad, pointing to a buried plumbing leak
• Cracks forming or growing in the pool deck, a sign that escaping water may be eroding the soil below
