Leak Detection and Repair – Call Today (949) 244-8442

Unfortunately, leaks are common and occur over time. Common causes of leaks are: old plumbing, tree roots, ground movement, settling, and structural issues such as cracks in the plaster or tile. The Pool Pros specializes in pool/spa leak detection, and leak repair in all areas of Orange County.

Swimming pool leaks can be structural or plumbing related. All it takes is one fitting to wear out, earth movement, or a small structural crack in the surface or water line. Water can be very intrusive.  Once a leak occurs water will continue to cause damage to the surrounding areas. Settling caused by underground water damage can be extremely damaging to your pools shell, decking, walkways, steps, patio covers, and home’s foundation.

A leak detection generally takes about half a day depending on the body of water, size, and complexity. Pool Pros leak detections are all-inclusive, comprising of: checking all the underground plumbing including return and suction lines, skimmer(s), and jet lines. Additionally, we will check for any structural leaks in the water line tile, bond beam surface, light fixtures, love seats, baja steps, etc. Once the cause of the leak is determined we will provide you with an estimate to repair the affected area.
