Professional Pool Leak Detection in Henderson, NV

Distinguishing Desert Evaporation from Real Water Loss

In Henderson, NV, seeing your pool’s water level drop is a daily reality. The intense desert heat and high winds naturally claim a portion of your water through evaporation. However, when you find yourself running the autofill constantly or noticing that your water bill is climbing despite your best conservation efforts, you likely have a mechanical failure.

At American Leak Detection of Southern Nevada, we eliminate the uncertainty. We provide specialized Pool Leak Detection designed for the specific conditions of Southern Nevada. We know that in our climate, a small leak can quickly become a major expense, wasting thousands of gallons of precious water and potentially destabilizing the soil around your pool deck. Our team uses advanced, non-invasive technology to distinguish between normal evaporation and structural or plumbing failures, giving you the clear answers you need to protect your investment.

The Henderson Challenge: Heat, Wind, and Hard Soil

Pools in Clark County face unique stressors. The "caliche" soil common in Henderson is incredibly dense and can shift with moisture changes, putting pressure on pool shells and underground plumbing. Additionally, the extreme thermal expansion and contraction caused by our scorching days and cool nights can shear pipes or create hairline fractures in plaster and pebble finishes.

Our technicians are locals who understand these dynamics. We know how to differentiate between the natural evaporation caused by the desert breeze and a structural leak. We use this knowledge to target our inspections effectively, ensuring that we identify the root cause of the water loss without tearing up your backyard unnecessarily.

Our Non-Invasive Diagnostic Process

We treat your pool as a complete system. Our technicians follow a rigorous, step-by-step investigation to isolate the issue without damaging your property.

• Evaporation Analysis: We help you determine if the loss is environmental or mechanical using precise measurements.
• Pressure Testing: We isolate and pressurize your plumbing lines to check for underground breaks in the suction, return, or cleaning systems.
• Structural Inspection & Dye Testing: We visually inspect the shell, lights, main drains, and skimmers, using precise dye injection to confirm leaks in fittings or cracks.
• Acoustic Listening: Using sensitive hydrophones and ground microphones, we listen for the sound of escaping water beneath the concrete deck or soil.

From Detection to Repair

Our primary goal is to provide you with a definitive diagnosis. Once we locate the leak, we mark the spot and explain exactly what is happening in plain language.

Crucially, we do not leave you with just a report. Because we understand the entire pool system, American Leak Detection of Southern Nevada offers a seamless transition from detection to resolution. Once the leak is identified, we can perform the necessary repairs or provide a detailed plan for the fix. Whether it involves stapling a structural crack, replacing a skimmer, or fixing a plumbing line, we ensure you have a clear path to a watertight pool.

Signs You Have a Leak (Not Just Evaporation)

While evaporation is constant in Nevada, certain signs point directly to a failure in the pool system. If you observe these indicators, it is time for a professional assessment:

• Excessive Refilling: If you are losing more than a quarter-inch of water per day, you likely have a leak.
• The "Green Patch": In our dry landscape, a sudden patch of lush, green grass or soft, mushy soil near the pool equipment or plumbing lines is a strong indicator of an underground break.
• Air in the System: Bubbles shooting out of return jets or a pump that constantly loses prime suggest air is being pulled into a leaking suction line.
• Structural Shifts: New cracks in the pool deck or tiles popping off the waterline often indicate soil movement caused by a leak.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it is just evaporation?

You can perform a "Bucket Test." Fill a bucket with pool water, place it on the top step of the pool (weighted down), and mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool level on the outside. After 24 hours, compare the two. If the pool level has dropped more than the bucket level, you have a leak.

Will you have to drain the pool?

No. In fact, it is better if the pool is full. We need the weight of the water and the pressure in the lines to accurately test the system. Draining the pool can actually hide certain leaks or cause plaster to dry out and crack in the Henderson sun.

Do you repair the leak after finding it?

Yes. We prioritize offering a complete solution. Once the leak is identified, we can discuss the repair options. Whether it is a minor patch or a plumbing repair, we have the expertise to help you resolve the issue, saving you the hassle of hiring a separate company.

Can you find leaks under the concrete deck?

Yes. Through pressure testing and acoustic listening, we can locate plumbing breaks beneath concrete decks without ripping them up first. This allows us to make the repair access hole as small and targeted as possible.
