Pool Leak Repair in Longmont, CO

Pools in Colorado face a brutal enemy: the freeze-thaw cycle. The rapid expansion of freezing soil puts immense pressure on underground plumbing and gunite shells.

Local environmental factors creating leaks:

• Soil Heaving: The expansive clay soils common in Longmont swell when wet and shrink when dry, shearing PVC pipes.
• Winter Fatigue: Even winterized pools can suffer from ice expansion that cracks skimmers and return lines.
• Start-Up Stress: The sudden pressure of opening a pool in spring often reveals weak seals and brittle fittings.

We don't just look for leaks; we look for the specific scars left by Colorado weather.

Phase 1: Precision Diagnostics (The Detection)

Before a wrench touches a pipe, we must know exactly where the breach is. We use scientific methodology to map your pool’s integrity.

• Pressure Testing: We isolate plumbing lines to verify if they hold static pressure or if there is a break underground.
• Hydrophone Acoustics: We listen for the tell-tale sound of water escaping into the soil beneath the deck.
• Dye Testing: We meticulously check structural penetrations like lights, drains, and skimmers for hairline cracks.

Phase 2: Surgical Repair (The Resolution)

• Clear Options for Repair: Once the leak is identified, we transition from investigators to problem solvers. We provide a separate, detailed quote for the repair. You have the freedom to proceed with us immediately or consider other options.
• Underground Plumbing Fixes: If we find a sheared pipe, we cut a surgical access point in the deck or soil to replace the damaged section.
• Skimmer Replacement: We excise cracked skimmers damaged by ice expansion and install robust new units.
• Structural Stapling: We stabilize and seal cracks in the pool shell to prevent further movement.
• We offer the capability for both. While our primary focus is accurate detection, we are fully licensed and equipped to perform permanent repairs. If you choose to hire us for the fix, you get seamless continuity and the assurance of a job done right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it evaporation or a leak?

In Longmont’s dry, windy climate, evaporation can be significant. However, if you are losing more than 1/4 inch per day, or if the water level drops faster than a control bucket, you likely have a leak. We can perform a professional test to confirm this for you.

Can you fix a leak without destroying my patio?

In many cases, yes. If the leak is under the concrete deck, we use precise acoustic tools to mark the exact spot. This allows us to make a small, targeted cut (often just a square foot) to access the pipe, rather than demolishing the entire patio.

Do I have to fix the leak immediately?

We strongly recommend it. Water leaking into the soil around your pool can erode the support for your deck and shell, leading to major structural settling. The cost of a timely repair is far less than the cost of stabilizing a sinking pool deck.

How much does the repair cost?

We operate with Upfront Pricing. The detection fee is fixed. The repair cost depends entirely on the location and severity of the leak (e.g., a simple patch vs. digging up a pipe). We will always give you a written estimate for the repair before we proceed.
