Our technicians complete a rigorous training program before they arrive at your door. They show up on time, work within the agreed timeframe, and leave your property clean when the job is done. You can count on straight answers about what they find.

Why Andrews Pools Are Prone to Hidden Leaks

West Texas conditions create leak risks that pool owners in other climates don’t face at the same scale. Understanding what’s working against your pool helps explain why a slow leak can go undetected for months.

Extreme Heat & Evaporation

Andrews’ blistering summer heat and dry winds cause heavy natural evaporation. That normal water loss can mask a slow plumbing or shell leak for months, because the pool keeps losing water at a rate that doesn’t trigger immediate concern.

Caliche Soil Movement

Andrews sits on hard, dry soil with layers of caliche running through it. As temperatures shift and rare rainfall events occur, that ground expands and contracts, placing lateral pressure on buried PVC plumbing. Over time, that movement bends joints until they snap, creating underground leaks that are invisible from the surface.

Thermal Expansion at the Deck

Daytime heat causes concrete pool decks to expand while pool water stays relatively cool. That difference in expansion rates works against the seal between concrete and plastic skimmer housings, breaking the watertight bond over repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Evaporation or a Leak? Signs Andrews Pool Owners Should Watch For

West Texas heat makes it genuinely difficult to know whether your pool is evaporating normally or leaking. A few specific signs point toward a mechanical problem rather than climate.

Water loss exceeding a quarter inch per day: If your pool drops faster than a static bucket test, that difference points to a breach in the shell or plumbing rather than surface evaporation.
Air bubbles from return jets: A pump struggling to hold prime, with visible air bubbles at the return jets, can indicate a fractured underground suction pipe drawing air in from the surrounding soil.
Cloudy water or algae despite regular maintenance: A leaking pool carries dissolved chlorine and cyanuric acid out into the yard. Auto-fill water then dilutes the remaining chemistry, triggering water quality problems that don’t respond to normal treatment.
Spongy grass or uneven concrete near the equipment pad: A soft patch of turf near the pump or a section of deck that has begun to slope signals water eroding the ground beneath the surface.

How We Locate Pool Leaks Without Tearing Things Up

Before any repair work begins, our technicians confirm the exact leak location using multiple diagnostic methods. Acoustic listening devices detect the sound of water escaping under pressure through soil. Pressure testing isolates individual plumbing lines to identify which section has failed. Specialized underwater dyes trace water movement through cracks or gaps in the shell and fittings.

Using acoustic, pressure, and dye testing together can help us identify leak types that a single method might miss. The entire process is passive and non-invasive. We don’t cut concrete or disturb landscaping to run diagnostics. Throughout the inspection, our technicians walk you through each test, explain what they’re observing, and deliver a report of findings once the source is confirmed.
