Dix Hills Leak Detection — FAQs

What’s the fastest way to confirm I have a leak?
The quickest starting point is an evaporation check (bucket test) paired with a short equipment pad inspection. If water loss continues with the system off, or you’re losing more than roughly ¼–½ inch per day, it’s time for full testing.
How long does a leak detection appointment take in Dix Hills?
Most Dix Hills leak detection visits take 60–120 minutes. Pools with multiple lines, water features, spas, or complex valve setups may take a bit longer due to isolation and pressure sequencing.
Do you test underground plumbing lines and returns?
Yes. We pressure test and isolate returns, suction lines, and feature lines (where applicable). If the pool has multiple zones, we test methodically to narrow down the exact line.
Will you have to dig up my yard to find the leak?
Not always. Acoustic listening and line isolation can often narrow the suspected leak to a specific zone. If excavation is required, we aim to keep it targeted by marking the most likely area first.
Do I need to be home for leak detection?
Not necessarily. As long as we have gate access and access to the equipment pad, we can run testing. We’ll send a text recap (and photos/video when helpful) so you know exactly what we found.
What does leak detection cost in Dix Hills?
Leak detection in Dix Hills starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs and parts are quoted separately once the leak source is confirmed.
Can you test saltwater pools and heated systems?
Yes. Saltwater and heated pools are tested the same way, and we pay extra attention to unions, heater connections, and equipment pad fittings where small seep points can show up over time.
