Professional pool leak detection in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
When your swimming pool is losing water, you need clear answers fast. Four States Leak Detection provides accurate, non-invasive pool leak detection for vinyl liner, concrete, and gunite pools. Using professional-grade acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, dye tracing, SCUBA inspections, and in-pipe video scoping, we locate leaks before they cause expensive damage to your pool or property.
Signs Your Pool May Have a Leak
If you notice any of the following, your pool may have a hidden leak:
-
Water loss greater than normal evaporation
-
Air bubbles in return lines
-
Cracks in the pool shell or deck
-
Wet or sinking areas around the pool or equipment
-
Difficulty maintaining chemical balance
-
Rising water bills
-
Pump losing prime
Why Pool Leak Detection Matters
Leaks in inground pools can lead to serious damage, including:
-
Increased water and utility costs
-
Soil erosion and ground movement
-
Deck settling or cracking
-
Pump and equipment failure
-
Cracked pool shells or plaster separation
-
Vinyl liner stretching or tearing
Early professional leak detection helps prevent major structural repairs and protects your investment.
Our Pool Leak Detection Process
We use multiple diagnostic methods to pinpoint leaks without unnecessary demolition:
-
Acoustic listening for underground plumbing leaks
-
Pressure testing of skimmers, returns, vacuum lines, and main drains
-
Dye tracing for lights, fittings, seams, and visible cracks
-
Camera scoping inside accessible plumbing lines
-
SCUBA inspections for submerged structural leaks
This multi-step approach allows us to confirm leak location instead of guessing.
In-Water Structural Repairs
In many cases, we can perform structural leak repairs during the same visit, including:
-
Vinyl liner seam sealing or patching
-
Skimmer throat and faceplate sealing
-
Return jet and light conduit leak repair
-
Plaster crack sealing
Plumbing repairs are not included, but plumbing leaks are precisely located so repairs remain targeted and cost-effective.
