Gilbert Pool Leak Repair
Testing to find where the water goes, then a repair at the source.
Every pool in Gilbert loses water to evaporation, and in summer that loss is noticeable. The first job in pool leak repair is proving whether you have a leak at all.
A bucket test settles it. A bucket of pool water sits on a step for a day or two, and we compare its drop with the pool's. If the pool falls faster, something besides the sun is taking water.
From there we narrow it down. Dye tests show leaks at skimmers, fittings and light niches. Pressure tests on each plumbing line show whether the leak is underground.
The joint between the skimmer and the pool wall cracks as the deck moves.
A bucket test separates a real leak from summer evaporation.
Suction and return lines are pressure tested one at a time.
Return fittings, light niches and cracks sealed under water.
| Test | What it shows | Pool drained? |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket test | Whether the loss beats evaporation | No |
| Dye test | Leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights and cracks | No |
| Pressure test | Which plumbing line is leaking | No |
| Equipment check | Drips at the pump, filter, heater or valves | No |
Run a bucket test, or let us run one. If the pool drops noticeably faster than the bucket over the same period, there's a leak.
Most can. Skimmer cracks, fitting leaks and light niches are usually sealed under water. Underground line repairs mean digging, not draining.
We pressure test to find the line, then open the smallest section of deck that reaches it. We tell you before any cutting starts.
A steady leak can soften soil near the pool and around the equipment. That's a good reason to test early rather than keep topping off.
Tell us how fast your water level is dropping. We'll test and find where it's going.
