LEAK DETECTION • Long Island, NY

Professional Pool Leak Detection on Long Island

Empire Pools pinpoints pool and spa leaks across Suffolk and Nassau using pressure testing, electronic acoustic listening, dye testing, and line isolation. We determine whether loss occurs with the pump on or off, verify the daily loss rate, and systematically test skimmers, returns, lights, main drain, and equipment lines. Our techs document findings with photos, mark locations on-site, and provide clear repair options so you stop guessing and start fixing.

What to Expect

Built for Long Island Conditions

We begin with symptom intake (autofill status, recent work, loss with pump on/off) and verify water-loss rate. Using dye testing, we check suspect areas like skimmer throats, light niches/conduits, returns, and structural joints. We isolate plumbing and perform controlled pressure tests with calibrated gauges and plugs, then use geophones/electronic listening to trace underground line leaks through decks, soil, or pavers. If needed, we camera-inspect accessible conduits and check equipment (multiport, backwash, heater bypass) for bypassing. You’ll receive a written report, photos, and marked locations, plus a straightforward estimate for repair options.

Leak Detection — FAQs

How do I know if it’s a leak or evaporation?
We start by verifying daily loss and comparing pump-on vs. pump-off. Evaporation varies with sun, wind, and humidity; our process rules that out before testing.
Can you find underground plumbing leaks?
Yes. We isolate and pressure test lines, then use electronic acoustic equipment to pinpoint locations through decks, soil, or pavers.
Do you repair the leak the same day?
Minor liner pinholes or simple sealing may be handled on-site. Structural fixes or underground line repairs are quoted and scheduled after locating.
Will you need to drain the pool?
Usually no. Most tests are performed with water in the pool. We’ll advise if a partial drain is needed for a specific repair.
How long does the visit take?
Typical diagnostics take 1–3 hours depending on complexity and number of suspected areas.
