What to Expect During an Inspection
Nervous about your first leak inspection? Here's exactly what happens, step by step — no surprises, no unnecessary digging.
Non-Invasive by Design
We use electronic equipment, pressure testing, and underwater dives — not jackhammers. Most inspections take a few hours and leave your yard exactly as we found it. Want to understand the parts we inspect? See our pool systems & parts guide.
Our 6-Step Inspection Process
Initial Consultation
We listen to your symptoms — water loss, air bubbles, wet spots — and review your pool's history to narrow down likely leak areas.
Bucket Test Confirmation
If you haven't run one already, we may confirm water loss with a bucket test. This rules out normal evaporation before we dig deeper.
Pressure Testing the Plumbing
We pressurize your underground plumbing lines to see if they hold pressure. A drop tells us exactly which line is leaking.
Underwater Dive Inspection
Our divers check the pool shell, skimmers, return jets, main drain, and light niche — even in the winter months — to pinpoint the leak source.
Dye Testing & Verification
We use dye near suspected cracks and fittings. If the dye gets pulled in, we've confirmed the exact leak location.
Detailed Written Report
You get a written report with photos showing where the leak is and what needs fixing — perfect to hand to your repair tech.
