Pool Leak Repair in Bexar County: Common Questions
How Do I Know If My Pool Is Leaking or Just Evaporating?
The bucket test is a useful starting point. Fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a step so it matches the pool’s water level, and mark both levels. After 24 to 48 hours, compare the drop. If the pool has lost measurably more water than the bucket, a leak is likely. Professional pressure testing can give you a definitive answer and a precise location.
Will the Detection Process Damage My Deck or Yard?
Our Pool Leak Detection methods, including acoustic listening and dye testing, are non-invasive and require no demolition. If a confirmed underground repair requires access beneath a deck, we pinpoint the location so precisely that impact on the deck or yard is kept to the absolute minimum. We explain the access plan and scope before any ground is touched.
Can the Repair Happen the Same Day as the Inspection?
In many cases, yes. Simple failures such as a cracked fitting, worn gasket, or equipment pad plumbing issue can often be addressed during the same visit as the Leak Detection evaluation. More complex repairs, such as those involving an underground line fracture beneath a slab, require us to first confirm the exact location and then schedule the appropriate repair scope. We’ll tell you clearly what’s possible after the evaluation is complete.
How Is Pricing Structured?
Pricing is based on pool size and system complexity. Under our Know Before You Go approach, the full fee structure is explained before any work begins. You know what you’re paying and what it covers before we start. There are no after-the-fact additions for standard-scope work.

Yes. We serve communities throughout Bexar County as part of our San Antonio service area. If you’re unsure whether your address falls within our coverage, call us at (866) 701-5306 and we’ll confirm quickly.

“I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”- Sandi T.

“I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”- Carolyn R.

“Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”- String R.
