Pool, Spa & Fountain Services We Provide

Each service line addresses a specific part of the problem. Here’s how we approach pool leak detection and repair for San Luis Obispo County homeowners:

Leak Detection

For swimming pool leaks and spa systems, our technicians use electronic leak detection, pressure testing, and infrared thermography to isolate the source. These methods let us identify whether a leak originates in the shell, the plumbing, or a fitting, without unnecessary excavation or disruption to the pool deck or surrounding structure.

Leak Repair

Once we’ve confirmed the source, repair work covers pool shells and underground plumbing and spa systems, including cracks in concrete, deteriorated seals, and faulty pipe connections. Because we know exactly where the leak is before opening anything, the repair scope stays precise and contained.

Crack Injection

Cracks in a pool or spa shell that go unsealed allow continued water loss and can affect the soil and structural conditions around the water feature over time. Crack injection seals those cracks directly, helping stop water loss at the source without draining the pool or removing deck sections.

Schedule Your Pool or Spa Leak Service

If your pool, spa, or fountain is losing water, the right first step is confirming the source, not opening walls or digging up plumbing on a guess. Our “Know Before You Go” pricing gives you a clear picture of the work before it starts, and our non-invasive methods protect your property throughout the process.

How to Tell If Your Pool, Spa, or Fountain Is Leaking

Some water loss is normal. Evaporation, splash-out, and backwash all reduce water levels without indicating a leak. But certain signs point beyond normal loss and suggest an active problem worth investigating.

Common indicators of a possible leak:

Water levels dropping more than evaporation alone would explain
Soggy, soft, or eroding soil around the pool, spa, or fountain
Visible cracks in the shell or surrounding deck
Needing to add water more often than usual
Rising water bills without a clear cause
Difficulty maintaining chemical balance despite regular treatment

The Bucket Test
Before calling for professional testing, a simple self-check can help clarify the situation. Fill a bucket with water and place it on a pool step or spa ledge so it sits in the water. Mark the water level inside the bucket and the water feature’s water level on the wall. After 24 to 48 hours, compare how much each dropped. If the water feature lost significantly more than the bucket, evaporation likely isn’t the only factor at work.

Why Confirming the Source Matters Before Any Repair

Repairing a pool, spa, or fountain leak without first pinpointing the exact source is a common and costly mistake. Opening the wrong area, removing deck sections unnecessarily, or patching a crack that isn’t the actual source leaves the real leak running and adds avoidable expense to the project.

Our detection-first approach eliminates that guesswork. Using electronic leak detection, pressure testing, and infrared thermography, we locate the leak precisely so repair work addresses the actual problem rather than a best guess, giving you a confirmed assessment before any restoration begins.
