At 911 Pool Care, we specialize in fast, accurate pool leak detection using professional-grade equipment and proven diagnostic methods. Whether your pool is losing water, your equipment won’t hold pressure, or you’re seeing rising chemical or water bills, our certified leak specialists can locate the problem quickly so you can get back to enjoying your pool.
We use advanced pressure testing, electronic listening devices, dye testing, and full-system inspections to pinpoint leaks in plumbing lines, skimmers, main drains, light conduits, autofill systems, and the pool structure itself. Our goal is simple: find the leak the first time and provide clear repair options.
How Our Pool Leak Detection Process Works
Finding a pool leak requires more than guesswork — it requires proven methods, specialized tools, and trained technicians who know how to pinpoint even the smallest leaks. At 911 Pool Care, we use a systematic approach to locate the source of your water loss quickly and accurately. Our leak detection process is designed to locate your leak accurately while minimizing disruption to your pool and deck.

1 - Visual Inspection
Leaks can occur around pumps, filters, heaters, valves, and plumbing unions. We inspect the entire pad for moisture, drips, or pressure failures as well as around the pool for signs of leaks.

2 - Dye Testing
We use dye tracing to confirm leaks in skimmers, steps, benches, tile lines, and around fittings.

3 - Electronic Listening
Our digital listening equipment allows us to hear leak noise through soil, decking, concrete, and pool surfaces.

4 - Structural Inspection
If needed, we inspect the pool surface for cracks, voids, or structural issues that may be causing water loss.

5 - Pressure Testing
We isolate pool plumbing lines and apply controlled pressure to identify breaks, cracks, or underground leaks so we can pinpoint the location of the leak(s).
6 - Clear Repair Options
Once the leak is found, we provide a clear explanation of the issue and offer repair solutions so you can fix the problem quickly and prevent further damage.
Common Types of Pool Leaks We Find
Pools can leak from many different areas, and each type of leak requires its own diagnostic and repair approach. Here are the most common leak sources we find during inspections:

Skimmer Leaks
Cracks or separation around the skimmer throat or body are one of the top causes of pool water loss.

Main Drain Leaks
Suction lines, drain bowls, and fittings can crack over time and allow water to escape.

Light Conduit Leaks
Water can escape where the light conduit meets the niche, allowing water to flow out behind the pool wall.
Structural Cracks
Cracks in plaster, steps, benches, or the tile line can allow steady water seepage into the soil.

Return Line Leaks
Pressure-side plumbing lines often develop underground breaks, especially near the equipment pad or under decking.

Equipment Pad Leaks
Leaks around pumps, filters, heaters, valves, or unions can result in significant water loss over time.
