What Happens During a Pool Leak Detection Visit

We start every appointment by listening. Before any testing begins, we discuss recent changes in your pool’s behavior: water level patterns, chemical shifts, and equipment behavior, so we can focus our work where it matters most. From there, our team uses a combination of pressure testing, electronic listening equipment, and dye testing to help isolate the source.

How We Test for Leaks

Each method targets a different potential source of water loss. Pressure testing works by pressurizing individual plumbing lines and monitoring for a pressure drop, helping identify leaks in specific runs. Electronic acoustic equipment listens for leak sounds through pool walls, decking, and underground plumbing. Our non-invasive methods are designed to avoid unnecessary excavation. Dye testing helps evaluate suspected leak points at fittings, returns, and cracks by introducing tracer dye and observing its movement. Together, these methods support thorough detection with minimal disruption to your property.

We document the full detection process and provide a written summary with our findings and recommended next steps. Our approach considers the pool or water feature’s construction, plumbing layout, equipment, and access conditions.

Signs Your San Antonio Pool May Have a Leak

Catching a leak early can help limit both the damage and the repair cost. If you notice any of the following, it’s worth scheduling a professional evaluation.

• Noticeable drop in water level over one to two days
• Unexplained increase in water bills
• Persistent wet spots, puddles, or soggy areas near the pool
• Loose or shifting tiles and surfaces
• Algae or mildew growth that returns after treatment
• The automatic filler running more often than usual
• Visible cracks in the pool shell, deck, or plumbing

Water loss that exceeds expected evaporation can indicate a structural, plumbing, equipment, or fitting leak and warrants further evaluation. A water loss test, such as comparing the pool with a separate container over the same period, can help distinguish evaporation from a possible leak. Left unresolved, these issues can lead to pool repairs.

Spa & Fountain Leak Detection

We provide spa leak detection and fountain leak detection in addition to swimming-pool testing. Water loss may originate in the vessel surface, jets, returns, water features, equipment connections, or dedicated plumbing lines.

Testing helps identify whether the suspected source is in the feature itself, connected plumbing, or operating equipment before repair work begins.

Why Local Knowledge Makes a Difference in Pool Leak Detection

Our technicians evaluate each pool or water feature on-site and select testing methods based on the construction, plumbing layout, equipment, and access conditions present at the property.

We serve properties throughout Bexar County and the Boerne area and tailor our detection strategy to what we find on each property, not a generic checklist.

Pool Leak Detection FAQs

Appointment duration depends on pool size and plumbing complexity. Our team keeps you informed throughout so you know where things stand.

Will the Inspection Damage My Pool or Landscaping?

Our non-invasive equipment rarely requires disturbing pool surfaces or landscaping. That’s a core part of how we work. “Leak Detection Without Destruction™” isn’t just a tagline.

What If the Leak Is in the Plumbing, Not the Pool Structure?

We test both the pool body and connected plumbing systems, including spas and fountains. The written report we provide documents our findings and outlines next steps.

Do I Need to Be Home for the Appointment?

Someone should be available at the start to provide access and walk us through any observations.

How Much Water Loss Is Normal for a San Antonio Pool?

Some evaporation is expected, especially during the hottest months. If your pool is consistently losing more water than a comparable evaporation test suggests, that’s a sign it’s time to call a pool leak detection service for an evaluation.

Does the Pool Need to Be Drained Before Leak Detection?

In most cases, no. Our equipment can help locate leaks while the pool is at its normal operating water level, so draining isn’t required before the appointment.
