Plainview Leak Detection — FAQs

How do I know if I have a leak or just evaporation?
If your Plainview pool is losing more than ~¼–½ inch per day consistently, needs frequent top-offs, or you notice air in the system / wet areas near the pad, it’s worth testing. We start by ruling out evaporation before isolating plumbing.
What do you need from me on the day of testing?
Gate/yard access, access to the equipment pad, and any notes on when the water loss started (after a storm, vacuuming, heater use, etc.). If you’re not home, we’ll text updates with photos/video.
What tests are included in leak detection?
Typically: pressure testing, dye tracing, acoustic listening, equipment-pad inspection, and line isolation (skimmer/returns/main drain) to pinpoint the most likely source.
Can you test pools with heaters, spas, or water features?
Yes. We can isolate features and test auxiliary lines/valves to confirm whether water loss is coming from a feature loop or the main circulation plumbing.
Will you fix it the same day?
If it’s a straightforward fitting/union/valve issue or a small patch, sometimes yes. Underground or structural repairs are quoted separately after we confirm the source and scope.
How much does leak detection cost in Plainview?
Leak detection in Plainview 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 testing, keep the pump available to run, and note the current waterline level. A quick photo of the waterline and equipment pad helps us move faster.
