Losing water or topping off too often? Austin Pool Leak Detection provides Leaktronics‑certified pool leak detection across Austin and nearby communities. We use non‑destructive diagnostics, pressure testing, acoustic listening, and dye tracing to pinpoint leaks in pools, spas, and fountains quickly and accurately, then give you a clear plan to fix them.

What We Detect

  • Plumbing leaks: suction, return, skimmer, and spa lines; main‑drain conduits; autofill lines; air leaks.
  • Structural issues: plaster/gunite cracks, tile line failures, skimmer throat leaks, spa spillways.
  • Fittings and lights: returns, vac ports, light niches/gaskets, seals and unions.
  • Equipment pad leaks: pumps, filters, heaters, valves, unions.
  • Evaporation vs. leak: water‑loss screening so you don’t pay to fix normal evaporation.

How We Find Leaks (Non‑Destructive)

  • Pressure testing and line isolation to confirm the failed run.
  • Acoustic/sonar listening with hydrophones to pinpoint the break.
  • Targeted dye tests at suspect points: skimmers, lights, returns.
  • Camera/borescope inspection where accessible.
  • Hydrostatic and differential tests; thermal scans when helpful.

Our 3‑Step Process

  1. Assessment: brief interview and visual check to rule out evaporation and identify symptoms.
  2. Advanced testing: certified diagnostics to locate the exact source and cause—without draining.
  3. Report & next steps: on‑site markings, photos, and a written summary with repair options or referral.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to common questions about our leak detection services, including methods, importance, and response times.

How do I know if my pool has a leak or if it’s just evaporation?

+

In Austin’s hot summers, normal evaporation is usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water loss per day. If you’re losing more than that, or if you notice air bubbles in the pump, soggy spots in the yard, or the autofill running constantly, you may have a leak. A simple bucket test can help confirm it.

How much water can a small pool leak waste?

+

Even a tiny leak can waste thousands of gallons each month. For example, a 1/8‑inch opening under pressure can lose over 100,000 gallons in 30 days. That’s not just wasted water — it also means higher bills, chemical loss, and potential structural damage.

What are the most common causes of pool leaks?

+

Common leak sources include cracked plaster or tile lines, worn skimmer throats, leaking return fittings, underground plumbing line breaks, and light niche or conduit leaks. Seasonal soil movement and freeze damage can also create new leaks in Austin pools.
