Pool Leak Repair in Los Angeles, CA

Stop Water Loss Before It Compromises Your Hillside

In Los Angeles, a leaking pool is not just a utility bill issue; it is a structural threat. Whether you own a hillside infinity pool in Hollywood Hills or a classic rectangular build in The Valley, uncontained water escaping into the soil can destabilize slopes, erode retaining walls, and undermine your property’s foundation.

At American Leak Detection of North Central Los Angeles, we specialize in structural confidence. We provide definitive pool leak repair diagnostic services to identify the breach with forensic accuracy. We don't guess; we use Non-Invasive Technology to map the issue. Once the leak is isolated, we offer the capability to repair it, protecting your investment from the unique soil erosion in Southern California.

The LA Challenge: Why Pools Fail Here

Los Angeles presents a hostile environment for aquatic architecture. The combination of seismic activity and extreme weather cycles creates constant stress on pool shells and plumbing.

Local factors accelerating leaks:

• Seismic Micro-Fractures: Constant ground movement, even from minor tremors, can shear underground PVC lines or create hairline cracks in gunite shells.
• The Santa Ana Factor: High winds and heat cause rapid evaporation, often masking real leaks until the damage is severe.
• Slope Stress: Pools built on graded hillsides face shifting soil pressures that can separate skimmers from the pool wall.
• The Financial Reality: Water in LA is expensive. A pinhole leak can waste thousands of gallons a month, putting you in higher billing tiers and violating local water conservation efforts.

Phase 1: Precision Diagnostics (The Detection)

We strip away the guesswork. Our primary service is an accurate audit of your pool’s integrity. We locate the leak without destroying your hardscape.

• Static Pressure Testing: We isolate the plumbing system to verify if the pressure drops, indicating a break in the pipes.
• Hydrophone Listening: Using sensitive underwater microphones, we listen for the distinct sound of water escaping the shell.
• Structural Dye Testing: We meticulously check lights, drains, and return fittings for seal failures

Phase 2: The Repair Option (The Resolution)

Clear Options for Resolution: Once the leak is located, we transition from diagnostics to solutions. We present you with a separate, detailed proposal for the repair. We have the capability for both. While our focus is accurate detection, we are fully licensed for repairs. You have the choice to authorize the fix right then and there or simply take the report. If you choose us, there is no waiting for a subcontractor; we are equipped to handle it immediately.

Common Repairs We Execute:

• Skimmer Injection: Using high-strength epoxy to seal cracks caused by ground shifting.
• Underground Plumbing Fixes: Cutting surgical access points in the deck to repair sheared pipes.
• Structural Stapling: Stabilizing shell cracks to prevent further widening during seismic events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it evaporation or a leak?

During Santa Ana wind events, pools can lose significant water to evaporation. 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.

Can you fix leaks in infinity edge basins?

Yes. Catch basins are notorious for leaking due to waterproofing failures. We can isolate the basin from the main pool to determine if the loss is occurring in the overflow system or the primary vessel.

Do I have to fix the leak immediately?

We strongly recommend it, especially for hillside properties. Water saturation can alter the soil density supporting your pool and deck, leading to major settling or slope failure. Addressing the leak early is a fraction of the cost of foundation stabilization.

How much does the detection cost?

We operate with Upfront Pricing. The detection fee is flat and transparent. Repair costs vary based on the complexity (e.g., digging up a pipe vs. patching a light conduit), but we will always provide a written estimate for the fix before proceeding.
