How Professional Pool Leak Detection Works

Good leak detection is a process of elimination. The goal is to isolate the part of the pool that is losing water before any repair area is opened.

Test the plumbing

Each pool line can be pressure-tested independently. A line that cannot hold pressure becomes the focus of the underground search.

Check the pool structure and fittings

Dye testing helps confirm movement around skimmers, returns, light niches, cracks, and other penetrations. Electronic listening equipment can help narrow down the location of a pressurized plumbing leak.

Explain the repair

Once the source is confirmed, you should receive a clear explanation of what was found, what needs to be exposed, and how the repair will be verified. See our complete detection process for the service details.
