Baldwin Leak Detection — FAQs

How do I know if I have a leak or just evaporation in Baldwin?
If you’re consistently losing more than about ¼–½ inch per day (especially with mild weather), need frequent top-offs, or you notice air bubbles, wet spots, or a sudden drop after running certain features, it’s worth testing. We always start by ruling out evaporation before isolating plumbing.
What tests do you typically run during leak detection?
Most Baldwin leak jobs include a structured sequence: pressure testing, dye tracing, acoustic listening, and line isolation (skimmers/returns/main drain/equipment pad) to confirm the most likely source before recommending repairs.
Do you handle leaks in vinyl liners as well as plumbing?
Yes. We can dye test and inspect liner fittings, steps, lights, returns, and skimmer areas, and we can separately test plumbing. If the evidence points to a liner issue vs. underground plumbing, we’ll tell you clearly.
Can you test pools with heaters, spas, or water features?
Yes. We can isolate feature loops and test auxiliary lines/valves to confirm whether the loss is coming from a feature circuit or the main circulation system.
Will you fix it the same day?
Sometimes—if it’s a simple valve/union/pad leak or a small fitting issue. Underground repairs, structural issues, and larger plumbing work are quoted separately and scheduled quickly once we confirm the source.
How much does leak detection cost in Baldwin?
Leak detection in Baldwin starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs and parts are quoted separately after we confirm the source.
What should I do before you arrive?
If possible, don’t add water the morning of. Note the current waterline level, keep the pump available to run, and take a quick photo of the waterline and equipment pad so we can compare before/after during testing.
