Effective Pool Leak Repair in Franklin, TN

Get Back to Enjoying Your Pool, Not Refilling It

There is nothing quite like a dip in the pool during a humid Middle Tennessee afternoon. It is the centerpiece of your backyard and your family’s favorite gathering spot. But that joy turns to frustration quickly when you realize you are fighting a losing battle against the water level. If you are dragging the hose out every other day, or if your auto-fill is running non-stop, you aren't just losing water, you are losing money.

At American Leak Detection of Nashville, we understand that a pool is a massive investment, and watching it fail is stressful. We are here to take that weight off your shoulders. We don't rely on guesswork, and we certainly don't start digging up your patio hoping to get lucky. We provide precise Pool Leak Repair services that pinpoint the exact source of the trouble. We stop the waste, fix the break, and help you reclaim your summer.

The Real Culprit: Franklin’s Shifting Ground

You might be wondering, "Why did my pipe break?" It likely isn't because of anything you did wrong. In Franklin and Williamson County, we build on top of heavy clay and limestone. This soil is temperamental. When it rains, the ground swells up; when it dries out in August, it shrinks and cracks.

This constant movement acts like a slow-motion vise on your pool’s structure and plumbing. Over time, it can snap PVC pipes, pull skimmers away from the pool wall, or cause your equipment pad to settle unevenly. Let’s be blunt: this isn't a problem that fixes itself. The longer a leak continues, the more it washes away the soil supporting your pool deck, leading to sinking concrete and expensive structural repairs. Addressing it now is the only way to stop the damage from spreading.

We Don't Just Find It; We Fix It

Some companies will come out, tell you where the leak is, hand you a bill, and wish you luck finding a contractor to repair it. That’s not how we operate. American Leak Detection of Nashville is your complete solution.

We use advanced acoustic technology to "listen" for leaks underground. We use pressure testing to isolate exactly which line (skimmer, return, or main drain) is failing. Once we have the facts, we switch gears to repair mode. Whether we need to patch a vinyl liner, staple a crack in a gunite shell, or cut a small, tidy access hole in your deck to replace a broken pipe, we handle it. We bridge the gap between diagnosis and a fully restored pool so you don't have to juggle multiple phone calls.

Stop throwing money down the drain. Call American Leak Detection of Nashville at (615) 454-9269 or request a service call to schedule your diagnostic visit.

Red Flags Your Pool is Leaking

Evaporation happens, but it doesn't cause a sudden spike in your water bill. If you aren't sure if you have a leak, look for these tell-tale signs:

• The Wet Spot: Is there a patch of grass near your pool or equipment that is always mushy or growing twice as fast as the rest of the lawn? That’s a plumbing leak.
• The Air Attack: If you see bubbles blasting out of your return jets, air is getting into your system. This usually means you have a suction-side leak near the skimmer or pump.
• Chemical Confusion: If you can't seem to keep your salt or chlorine levels balanced no matter what you add, it’s because you are constantly diluting the pool with fresh water.
• The Dropping Deck: If the concrete slabs around your pool are starting to sink or lift, the soil beneath them is likely being washed away by escaping water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be sure it isn't just evaporation?

Try the "Bucket Test." Fill a 5-gallon bucket with pool water and set it on the pool steps (weigh it down with a brick). Mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool level on the outside. Wait 24 hours. If the pool water drops more than the bucket water, you have a leak. It’s a simple test that gives you a solid answer.

Do I need to drain the pool before you come?

Absolutely not. Please leave the water in the pool. We need the weight of the water and the pressure in the lines to find the leak accurately. Draining the pool can actually damage your liner or plaster and make our job impossible.

Can you find a leak under the concrete deck?

Yes. We use specialized microphones to listen through the concrete. We can pinpoint the sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe within inches. This means if we do have to cut the deck to fix it, the hole is small and targeted, not a giant trench.

How soon can you fix it?

We prioritize these repairs because we know water loss is costly. Once we identify the problem, we will give you a clear quote and a timeline for the fix. Our goal is to get your system watertight as quickly as possible.
