Orange County · Detection
Find pool shell, plumbing, and equipment leaks before water loss becomes structural damage.
The Alvarez Family, a Anaheim Hills, Anaheim homeowner, had been living with water level dropping noticeably faster than normal evaporation would explain for weeks before calling us. Anaheim has one of the highest concentrations of backyard pools in Orange County thanks to its mid-century tract-home boom, so pool and spa leak calls sit alongside slab and water leak calls as some of our most frequent requests here. The leak was marked in that same visit, and the repair crew only had to open a small section instead of the whole area.

Anaheim has one of the highest concentrations of backyard pools in Orange County thanks to its mid-century tract-home boom, so pool and spa leak calls sit alongside slab and water leak calls as some of our most frequent requests here.
Water service in Anaheim is provided by Anaheim Public Utilities, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
With California's climate, pools and spas run for most of the year, which means even a small leak adds up fast in lost water and can eventually undermine the surrounding decking or yard. We test pool shells, skimmers, return lines, main drains, and equipment pad plumbing to determine whether water loss is from evaporation or an actual leak, and if it's a leak, exactly where.
We use a bucket test to separate evaporation from true leaks, dye testing to check skimmers and fittings, and pressure testing on plumbing lines. For suspected shell leaks, a dive inspection can visually confirm the leak point.

“Our pool was losing about an inch a week and we thought it was just evaporation. Bucket test plus dye test confirmed a leak at one of the returns. Thorough and easy to understand.”
“Backyard spa was the culprit, not the pool itself as we assumed. They tested both separately and found it quickly. Appreciated not being upsold on things we didn't need.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
