Why Leak Detection Matters More Than Most Homeowners Realize
Finding and fixing a pool leak isn’t just about topping off your water and hoping it goes away. On Long Island, even a small leak can silently waste thousands of gallons of water, drive your chemical and heating bills through the roof, and weaken your pool’s structure over time. Left untreated, leaks can erode the soil beneath patios and decks, create sinkholes, rust out equipment, and reduce the lifespan of your liner or plaster finish.
A single hidden leak in a skimmer, main drain, or return line can easily cost thousands of dollars in structural repairs if ignored — not to mention the frustration of constantly refilling your pool or chasing unstable water chemistry. This is where Empire Pools makes the difference. With over 25 years of leak detection expertise, our technicians follow a proven system designed to:
Confirm real water loss with baseline bucket tests, ruling out normal evaporation.
Pinpoint the problem using dye tracing, pressure testing, and advanced acoustic listening gear.
Protect your investment by identifying underground breaks or structural cracks before they spread.
Deliver clear next steps with photo documentation and repair recommendations so you know exactly what needs to be done.
When we handle your leak detection, you’re not just paying for a test — you’re investing in clarity and control. Our customers know they can count on Empire Pools to find the source of water loss fast and provide a reliable path forward — no wasted time, no guesswork, and no unnecessary digging.
The Empire Pools Step-by-Step Leak Detection Process
When you book leak detection with Empire Pools, you’re not getting guesswork — you’re getting a proven system perfected over 25 years of diagnosing Long Island pools. Every step is designed to accurately locate the problem and protect your investment from costly damage. Here’s how our process works:
Baseline & Bucket Testing
We start by ruling out normal evaporation. Using bucket and baseline measurements, our technicians confirm true water loss and establish the daily drop rate before testing further.
Dye Testing at Key Areas
Next, we use specialized dye around common problem points — skimmers, returns, steps, lights, and visible cracks. This helps pinpoint suction points where water is being pulled out of the pool.
Plumbing Line Pressure Tests
Our team isolates suction and return lines, then applies controlled air pressure with plugs and gauges. Any loss in pressure indicates a hidden underground leak.
Acoustic Listening Equipment
With advanced electronic listening devices, we can hear escaping water underground or behind structures. This allows us to mark exact leak locations with minimal disruption.
Skimmer, Throat & Main Drain Checks
We carefully inspect skimmer bodies, throats, and main drain pots for cracks or separations. Targeted dye and putty checks confirm whether these high-hit areas are failing.
Equipment Pad Inspection
Pumps, unions, multiport valves, heaters, and chlorinators are all inspected for seal leaks, air infiltration, and faulty gaskets that may cause water loss.
Findings & Clear Next Steps
Finally, we compile our results into a clear report. You’ll know the exact source of the leak, supported by photos and technician notes, along with recommendations for the most effective repair options.
⚠️ Important Notes About What’s Not Included:
Leak detection is a diagnostic service — repairs are quoted separately once the problem is identified.
Pools must be filled to proper operating level before testing; we cannot perform accurate diagnostics if water is too low.
When you see our technicians at work, you’ll notice we don’t skip steps or make assumptions. Every leak detection appointment is done with precision, documented thoroughly, and explained in plain language — so you know exactly what’s happening and how to move forward.
