Pool Leak Detection in Burbank

Accurate Pool Leak Detection Since 1974

Recurring water loss may be ordinary evaporation or evidence of a failure in the pool shell, plumbing, fittings, drains, return lines, or equipment. At American Leak Detection of North Central Los Angeles, we use advanced, non-destructive technology to identify the likely source without unnecessary surface disruption.

We’ve provided leak detection services since 1974. Our residential pool evaluations give Burbank homeowners clear findings before they choose a repair path or continued water loss affects the surrounding deck, hardscaping, or soil.

Call (818) 593-0943 to schedule a pool leak evaluation for your Burbank home.

Securing Your Property Through Advanced Diagnostics

As the Original Leak Detection Specialists™, we combine proprietary methods with a rigorous technician training program. Our approach follows the principle of Leak Detection Without Destruction™, focusing testing on the pool system instead of relying on destructive guesswork.

Our technicians arrive on time, complete the scheduled work within the provided time frame, and leave the premises clean. The Know Before You Go approach provides honest, upfront pricing before service begins.

What Your Burbank Pool Leak Evaluation Covers

Our Diagnostic Methodology and Seamless Resolution process evaluates likely leak locations across the pool shell, pool plumbing, fittings, light niches, return lines, equipment connections, and surrounding areas. The tests we use depend on the pool’s symptoms and configuration.

Diagnostic methods may include:

• Pressure testing: Using pressure-testing rigs, we isolate sections of the circulation system and identify plumbing lines that aren’t holding pressure.
• Acoustic leak detection: We use acoustic listening devices to detect sounds associated with escaping water in concealed areas.
• Underwater dye testing: We apply specialized underwater dyes to trace water movement near suspected cracks, fittings, drains, and penetrations.
• Equipment evaluation: We may test the pump, filter, valves, connections, and other accessible equipment areas.

After the evaluation, we provide a comprehensive and factual blueprint of the pool’s condition. The diagnostic report identifies the failure location and can be shared with an insurer or your preferred repair contractor. Our pool leak repair division is also available as an optional next step.

Signs Your Pool May Be Leaking

Evaporation varies with temperature, wind, humidity, and pool use. Frequent refilling may warrant professional testing when accompanied by filtration symptoms, unusual chemical demand, damp soil, or settlement near the pool deck.

Common indicators include:

• Bucket Test Failure: The pool loses more water than a nearby container exposed to similar conditions.
• Aeration in the Filtration Loop: Air bubbles appear in the pump basket, or return jets sputter during operation.
• Accelerated Chemical Dilution: Chemical levels require more frequent adjustment as treated water escapes and replacement water is added.
• Geotechnical Saturation: Soil near the pool remains unusually damp or shows signs of movement or settling.

A bucket comparison can help distinguish evaporation versus leakage, but it can’t locate the source. We test the system to determine whether the failure involves plumbing, the pool structure, fittings, or equipment.
