A Reliable Swimming Pool Leak Detection and Repair Company in Plano, Texas and North Dallas

Lone Star Leak Locators provides professional swimming pool leak detection, underground plumbing diagnostics, pressure testing, and pool leak repair throughout Plano, North Dallas, Richardson, Frisco, Allen, and surrounding North Texas communities.

A swimming pool leak can waste hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water, increase utility and chemical costs, damage the pool deck, wash away supporting soil, and create expensive structural problems if the source is not located and repaired.

Whether your pool is suddenly losing water, the pump is pulling air, wet areas are appearing around the pool deck, or you suspect a hidden underground plumbing leak, our team uses professional diagnostic equipment to isolate the problem and identify the most likely repair location.

Professional Swimming Pool Leak Detection in Plano, TX

Pool leak detection is more than looking for visible cracks or wet areas. Many leaks occur in underground PVC lines, fittings, skimmers, returns, main drains, suction lines, spa plumbing, and water-feature piping that cannot be inspected from the surface.

Lone Star Leak Locators uses a systematic testing process that may include:

• Visual inspection of the pool shell and equipment
• Dye testing around suspected cracks and penetrations
• Pressure testing of individual plumbing circuits
• Isolation of skimmer, return, suction, and main-drain lines
• Electronic acoustic leak detection
• Geophone testing over pool decks and underground plumbing routes
• Hydrophone testing when underwater listening is needed
• Tracer-gas testing when conditions require additional confirmation
• Identification of the most likely excavation and repair location

Pool Leak Detection Fee Applied Toward the Repair

When Lone Star Leak Locators performs the pool leak detection and you hire us to complete the approved repair, the qualifying diagnostic fee may be applied as a credit toward the repair.

This allows the same company that performed the testing to expose the suspected repair area, inspect the failed pipe or fitting, complete the plumbing repair, and pressure-test the system again before the area is restored.

Common Signs Your Swimming Pool May Have a Leak

• The pool requires frequent refilling
• The water level drops faster than normal evaporation
• Wet or sunken soil appears near the pool or equipment pad
• Air bubbles come from the return jets
• The pump repeatedly loses prime
• The automatic fill runs constantly
• Pool chemicals are difficult to maintain
• Cracks or gaps appear around the coping, deck, or tile line
• Water collects near a skimmer or underground plumbing route
• The pool loses more water while the circulation system is operating

Swimming Pool Leak Repair

Once the leaking section has been isolated and the likely repair location has been identified, the repair may involve exposing the underground plumbing, removing the damaged fitting or pipe, installing approved replacement materials, and pressure-testing the repaired section.

Depending on the location, repair work may include:

• Underground PVC pipe repair
• Broken tee or elbow replacement
• Separated plumbing-joint repair
• Skimmer-line repair
• Return-line repair
• Suction-line repair
• Main-drain plumbing repair
• Spa or water-feature plumbing repair
• Concrete cutting and controlled excavation
• Post-repair pressure testing

Concrete, tile, coping, paint, texture, landscaping, and other cosmetic restoration requirements should be clearly identified in the repair estimate so the property owner understands what is included and excluded.

Pre-Purchase Swimming Pool Leak Inspections

Buying a home with a swimming pool can add significant value and enjoyment, but it can also expose the buyer to hidden plumbing or structural problems.

A general home inspection may observe the visible pool condition, but it may not include pressure testing every underground plumbing line.

Lone Star Leak Locators offers pre-purchase pool leak inspections for home buyers, real estate agents, investors, property managers, and commercial property purchasers.

A pre-purchase evaluation may help identify:

• Excessive pool water loss
• Leaking skimmer plumbing
• Failed return lines
• Suction-side leaks
• Underground PVC failures
• Equipment-pad leaks
• Pool-shell cracks or failed penetrations
• Attached-spa plumbing problems
• Water-feature or fountain-line leaks
