Pool Leak Detection in Allen and Collin County

A pool that keeps losing water is telling you something. Finding the source early protects your equipment, your deck and your water bill. Hamilton Pools uses specialized equipment to pinpoint leaks so repairs are quick and accurate.

Signs of a Pool Leak

You lose more than 1/4 inch of water per day
The water level stays low, even after refilling
Wet spots appear around the pool deck
You see cracks in the deck or pool shell
Air bubbles show up in the return lines
Your water bill is unexpectedly high

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Soil erosion around the pool deck
Damage to the pool shell
Equipment that fails from running dry
Water bills that keep climbing

Early detection usually costs far less than ongoing water loss and repairs.

Simple Bucket Test: Leak or Evaporation?

Texas heat causes real evaporation, so a dropping water level is not always a leak. This quick test helps you tell the difference.

Fill a bucketFill a bucket with pool water to about 1 inch from the top.
Place it on a pool stepSet the bucket on a step so the water inside is at the same level as the pool. Turn off any auto-fill.
Mark both water levelsUse tape or a marker to mark the level inside the bucket and the pool level outside it.
Compare after 24 hoursIf the pool dropped noticeably more than the bucket, water is escaping and you likely have a leak. Call us to confirm and locate it.

Pool Leak Detection FAQ

How do I know if my pool has a leak?

Common signs of a pool leak include: losing more than 1/4 inch of water per day from evaporation, consistently low water level, wet spots around the pool deck, cracks in the deck or pool shell, air bubbles in the return lines, or unexpectedly high water bills.

What equipment do you use for leak detection?

We use specialized electronic leak detection equipment including pressure testing devices, dye testing kits, ground microphones, and ultrasonic detectors to pinpoint the exact source of leaks in plumbing, equipment, and the pool shell.

What types of leaks do you repair?

We repair above-ground equipment leaks, plumbing line leaks, skimmer leaks, light niche leaks, and return line leaks. For structural or in-ground shell leaks, we refer to a trusted affiliate who specializes in those repairs.

How much does leak detection cost?

Leak detection pricing depends on the complexity of the system and the suspected leak location. Call (214) 402-8677 for a quote. Many clients find that the cost of detection is far less than the cost of ongoing water loss and equipment damage.

How long does a leak detection take?

Most leak detection services are completed within 1–2 hours. Complex leaks that require extensive pressure testing or multiple access points may take longer.

Can a pool leak cause serious damage?

Yes. Undetected leaks can cause soil erosion around the pool deck, damage to the pool shell, equipment failure from running dry, and significantly increased water bills. Early detection saves money and prevents costly structural damage.

Is my leak covered by insurance?

Some homeowner insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water leaks. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. We can provide documentation and repair estimates to support your claim.

Do you offer a guarantee on leak detection?

Yes. If we identify a leak and perform the repair, we guarantee our work. If the same leak recurs within the warranty period, we will re-evaluate and repair at no additional cost.
