Testing Tuned to Medford Homes

In Medford neighborhoods near Route 112 and Middle Country Road, traffic vibration, storm runoff, and temperature swings can stress plumbing joints, skimmer throats, and older return fittings. We sequence leak tests to rule out evaporation, then isolate skimmer lines, returns, main drains, and equipment pads.

From areas off Patchogue–Yaphank Road and Woodside Ave to homes closer to North Patchogue and Yaphank, we adapt methods to your pool’s surface, age, and seasonal soil movement for accurate results.

Medford Leak Detection — FAQs

What’s a “normal” amount of water loss vs. a real leak?
In Medford, heat, wind, and sunny exposure can cause evaporation — but if you’re consistently losing more than about ¼–½ inch per day, or the loss is getting worse, it’s time to test.
How long does a leak detection appointment usually take?
Most Medford leak detection visits take 60–120 minutes depending on pool size, features (spa, waterfall, heater), and whether multiple lines need isolation.
Do you test both the pool shell and the plumbing lines?
Yes. We check fittings and potential shell entry points with dye, inspect equipment pad components, and perform pressure testing + isolation on suction/return lines where applicable.
Can you find an underground leak without digging up everything?
Often, yes. We use acoustic listening and line isolation to narrow the suspected zone. If digging is needed, we aim to keep it as targeted as possible.
Do I need to be home, and what do you need access to?
You don’t need to be home as long as we have yard access and access to the equipment pad. We’ll send updates and photos/video of findings.
What does leak detection cost in Medford?
Leak detection in Medford starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs and parts are quoted separately once the source is confirmed.
Can you do leak detection on saltwater pools?
Yes. We inspect salt-system plumbing and unions, check the equipment pad for seepage, and test lines the same way we do on chlorine pools.
