"I'm very happy with our experience using Leak Locators. The pricing was reasonable, but JR was much more responsive and was able to see us almost immediately. He did a full inspection and fixed the leak within an hour. He was very professional and we'd definitely use Leak Locators again if needed!"

The two technicians who arrived were very professional, prompt, and courteous. They took pictures and videos they emailed me so a plumbing technician would have an idea of what they were dealing with."

A slow leak won't stay slow. Here's what compounds the longer you wait.
A leaking pool can waste thousands of gallons a month. That shows up on your utility bill every single cycle.
Replacing lost water constantly dilutes your chemicals. You keep adding more — and spending more — without the pool staying balanced.
Low water levels and air in the lines force your pump and filter to work harder than they should — shortening their lifespan.
Water escaping around the shell or underground lines can erode soil, undermine the deck, and lead to far more serious — and costly — repairs.
Water loss, chemical waste, and structural erosion compound quietly. Same-week service available across Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Leland, Hampstead, and the Cape Fear coastal area. Call now — we pick up.
Most requests get a callback within 2 business hours. Urgent leak? Just call — we'll prioritize you.

Owner J.R. Reyes leads every inspection.

Underground plumbing leaks are among the most costly and frustrating pool problems — because you can't see them. Water leaks silently through buried supply and return lines, washing away soil, spiking your water bill, and quietly damaging your property. Leak Locators East Coast uses professional acoustic ground-microphone equipment to locate buried leaks precisely, so you only dig where you have to.
Call now — the sooner we find it, the less damage it does.
