Topping off the pool every few days? We test the shell, fittings, equipment and buried plumbing to find out where the water is really going.
Every pool in Buckeye loses water to the sun. In peak summer, evaporation alone can take a quarter inch or more from the surface each day. That makes it hard to know whether a dropping water level is normal or a sign of trouble.
Pool leak detection answers the question with testing instead of guesswork. The technician checks the equipment pad, inspects the shell and fittings with dye, and pressure tests the underground plumbing lines one at a time. At the end you know whether the pool is leaking, where, and how much.
The joint between the plastic skimmer and the concrete shell is the most common leak point.
Water escapes through the conduit behind the light niche.
Fittings in the wall loosen or crack as the shell and deck move.
A leak at the drain or its line shows as steady loss whether the pump runs or not.
Suction and return lines under the deck crack at joints as soil shifts.
Pump seals, filter valves, heaters and backwash lines drip or run to waste.
This simple test separates evaporation from a leak.
We check the equipment pad, valves and visible fittings.
Dye is released at fittings, lights, steps and cracks to see where it is drawn in.
Each buried line is plugged and pressurized to find the one that will not hold.
Leaks in buried lines are pinpointed and marked on the deck.
What you can count on every time you call Leak Detection Buckeye.
You hear the price and approve it before any work starts. No surprise charges added at the end.
The leak is found with testing equipment first, so any access is limited to the right spot.
You are shown where the leak is, what likely caused it and what your repair options are, in plain language.
If a simple repair solves it, that is what we recommend. The decision is always yours.
A small pool leak adds up fast. A loss of one inch per day in an average residential pool can mean hundreds of gallons of water every day, along with the chemicals you paid to balance it.
The damage goes beyond the water bill. Water escaping under a deck washes out soil, which leads to settling, cracked decking and, in bad cases, movement of the pool shell itself. Buckeye soils that swell and shrink with moisture make this worse.
If your yard is wet but the pool tests tight, the cause may be an irrigation leak or the main water line.
Where the level settles is a useful clue. If the water stops falling at the bottom of the skimmer opening, the skimmer or its line is the likely source. If it stops at the pool light, look at the light niche and conduit. If it stops at a return fitting or a step, that fitting is suspect.
It also helps to note whether the pool loses more water with the pump running or off. More loss while running points to the pressure side, such as return lines. More loss when off points to the suction side or the shell. Share what you have noticed when you call.
Evaporation varies with heat, wind and humidity. A quarter inch per day is common in summer and can be higher in extreme heat. A bucket test shows what is normal for your pool on a given day.
No. Testing is done with the pool full. Dye testing and pressure testing both require water in the pool.
Yes. Attached spas, fountains and waterfalls share plumbing with the pool and are tested the same way.
Many shell and fitting leaks can be sealed with the pool full. Leaks in buried lines require access through the deck or yard at the marked spot.
