Accurate Pool Leak Detection in Casa Grande, AZ

Stop Water Loss in the Desert Heat

In Casa Grande, AZ, seeing your pool’s water level drop is a daily reality. The intense desert sun and dry air naturally claim a portion of your water through evaporation. But when you find yourself dragging the hose out every few days or noticing that your chemical bill is climbing despite your best efforts, you likely have a problem that the weather cannot explain.

At American Leak Detection of Tucson, we eliminate the uncertainty. We provide specialized Pool Leak Detection designed for the unique conditions of Pinal County. We know that in our climate, a small leak can quickly become a major expense, wasting thousands of gallons of water and destabilizing the soil around your pool deck. Our team uses advanced, non-invasive technology to distinguish between normal evaporation and structural or plumbing failures, giving you the clear answers you need to protect your investment.

Why Precision Detection Matters Here

Casa Grande’s soil conditions, often a mix of clay and caliche, react dramatically to moisture. When a pool leaks underground, that escaping water doesn't just disappear; it saturates the ground, potentially causing your pool deck to settle, crack, or shift.

Furthermore, "guessing" at a repair is expensive. We often see homeowners who have replaced skimmers or re-plastered sections of the pool, only to find the water level still dropping. Our approach is different. We use data, not guesswork. By pinpointing the exact location of the leak, whether it’s a hairline fracture in a return fitting or a break in the underground plumbing, we ensure that when repairs are made, they are solving the actual problem.

Our Diagnostic Process

We treat your pool as a complete system. Our technicians follow a rigorous, step-by-step investigation to isolate the issue without damaging your property.

• Evaporation Analysis: We help you determine if the loss is environmental or mechanical.
• Pressure Testing: We isolate and pressurize your plumbing lines to check for underground breaks in the suction or return sides.
• Structural Dive & Dye Testing: We visually inspect the shell, lights, main drains, and skimmers, using precise dye injection to confirm leaks in fittings or cracks.
• Acoustic Listening: Using sensitive hydrophones and ground microphones, we listen for the sound of escaping water beneath the concrete deck or soil.

Signs You Have a Leak (Not Just Evaporation)

While evaporation is constant in Arizona, certain signs point directly to a failure in the pool system. If you observe these indicators, it is time for a professional assessment:

• Excessive Refilling: If you are adding more than two inches of water a week during standard weather, you likely have a leak.
• The "Green Patch": In our dry landscape, a sudden patch of lush, green grass or soft, mushy soil near the pool equipment or plumbing lines is a strong indicator of an underground break.
• Air in the System: Bubbles shooting out of return jets or a pump that constantly loses prime suggest air is being pulled into a leaking suction line.
• Structural Shifts: New cracks in the pool deck or tiles popping off the waterline often indicate soil movement caused by a leak.

From Detection to Repair

Our primary goal is to provide you with a definitive diagnosis. Once we locate the leak, we mark the spot and explain exactly what is happening in plain language.

Crucially, we do not leave you with just a report. Because we understand the entire pool system, American Leak Detection of Tucson can often perform the necessary repairs or provide a detailed plan for the fix. Whether it involves stapling a structural crack, replacing a skimmer, or fixing a plumbing line, we ensure you have a clear path to a watertight pool. We bridge the gap between finding the problem and solving it, ensuring you don't have to scramble to find another contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it is just evaporation?

You can perform a "Bucket Test." Fill a bucket with pool water, place it on the top step of the pool (weighted down), and mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool level on the outside. After 24 hours, compare the two. If the pool level has dropped more than the bucket level, you have a leak.

Will you have to drain the pool?

No. In fact, it is better if the pool is full. We need the weight of the water and the pressure in the lines to accurately test the system. Draining the pool can actually hide certain leaks or cause plaster to dry out and crack.

Do you repair the leak after finding it?

Yes. We prioritize offering a complete solution. Once the leak is identified, we provide a quote for the repair. We can then schedule our team to return and perform the fix at a time that works for you, saving you the hassle of starting over with a separate company.

Can you find leaks under the concrete deck?

Yes. Through pressure testing and acoustic listening, we can locate plumbing breaks beneath concrete decks without ripping them up first. This allows us to make the repair access hole as small and targeted as possible.
