Pool Leak Detection in Fort Worth, TX

Fort Worth’s clay-based soil constantly shifts from heavy rains and temperature swings — and that movement cracks pool walls and underground PVC lines. Even a small pool leak can quietly drain hundreds of gallons per week, wash out chemicals, and burn up your pump if the water drops below the skimmer line.

Signs Your Pool May Have a Leak

  • Losing more than ¼ inch of water per day (beyond normal evaporation)
  • Wet spots, soft ground, or unexplained grass growth near equipment or pool edge
  • Needing to add water more than twice a week
  • Chemical levels constantly dropping despite regular treatment
  • Pool pump running dry or pulling air through the skimmer

Our Leak Detection Process

We pressure-test each PVC line individually to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. From there, we give you a clear diagnosis and repair estimate. A cracked line under dirt is a straightforward fix; a line running under the pool deck requires concrete cutting — we lay out all options so you know what you’re getting into before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

The clearest sign is losing more than 1/4 inch of water per day beyond normal evaporation. You can do a simple bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a step, mark both water levels, and check after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak. Other signs include wet spots near equipment, constantly dropping chemical levels, or the pump pulling air.
We pressure-test each PVC line individually to isolate the leak. By pressurizing one line at a time and monitoring for pressure drops, we can pinpoint the approximate location of the break. Once located, we give you a clear repair estimate before any work begins.
Leak detection pricing varies depending on the complexity of your pool system. After we locate the leak, repair cost depends on the leak location — a cracked line under dirt is a straightforward fix, while a line under the pool deck requires concrete cutting. We provide a transparent estimate before starting repairs.
Yes. A slow leak can wash out soil beneath the pool shell or deck, leading to settling and structural cracks. It can also erode the ground around underground pipes and equipment pads. In Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil, this damage accelerates quickly during dry-to-wet weather swings. The sooner a leak is fixed, the less damage occurs.
Yes — we handle both detection and repair. Once we locate the leak and you approve the estimate, we complete the repair on the same visit when possible, or schedule a follow-up for more complex work like deck cutting. We’re licensed and insured for all pool plumbing repairs in the Fort Worth area.
