How much water loss is normal vs a leak?

Most pools lose 1/8 to 1/4 inch per day in warm conditions from evaporation. Losing 1/2 inch or more per day likely indicates a leak.

How can I test for a leak at home?

Perform the bucket test: set a bucket on a step, mark the levels, and compare after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, there is a leak.

How long does leak detection take?

Most inspections take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on pool size, system complexity, and access.

How do you find leaks without draining the pool?

We use non-invasive diagnostics including acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, dye detection, hydrophones, and scuba inspections.

Do I need to drain my pool?

No. Most leak detection and repairs are performed with the pool full to verify results.

How much does leak detection cost?

Leak detection is flat-rate with no hidden fees. If we cannot confirm a leak, you do not pay. Call 417-660-9130 for a quote.
