Wilmington pool leak detection that finds where the water is going, so the repair can be focused and unnecessary work can be avoided.
The difference
A pool can lose water at one fitting twenty feet under the deck. We find that fitting first — by isolating each line and listening for the leak — so the repair opens one small, specific spot rather than a trench.
What we tested, what we found and where it is, in writing. Then the repair, sized to the problem and not the search.
How detection works
The method
Diagnosis is a sequence, not a guess. Each stage narrows the search until there is exactly one place to open.
Confirm the pool is losing water and rule out evaporation. Each plumbing line is isolated and brought up to pressure on a gauge; the line that will not hold is the line with the problem.
Acoustic listening narrows the loss along the run to one point, and the surface above it is marked. Nothing is opened to find out where the problem is.
A small, specific opening at the marked point. The same crew that found the leak repairs it, and you get a written record of what was tested, found and fixed.
Services
Every job starts by locating the loss to one point. The repair, when there is one, is sized to what was found.

Three light conduits were leaking. Each was sealed and the loss stopped the same day — no closure, no drain-down.
Hampstead, NC
That narrowed it to the spa’s own plumbing. The break was in a return line beneath its concrete. The pavers were lifted and the slab opened directly over the fault, which was then repaired.
Reviews
“Very professional. We were losing 3 inches of water a DAY and JR sent one of his techs out, found it and stopped the leak same day.”
“Leak Locators East Coast were recommended to me by Above Ground Pros. I suspected my pool was leaking. Not sure if it was plumbing pipes or the pool, in a panic I called and they responded right away. Skyler came the next day and fixed not only 1 leak but 3 more I was unaware of. It's a one stop family shop. Service call and maintenance including in one fee. There is no panicking on how much it'd going to cost. I highly recommend Leak Locators East Coast for all of your leaky needs!”
“We would give them 10 stars, if we could! This is a wonderful small family-owned business. They are quick to respond, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy. Their prices are very reasonable, and they truly care about their customers. It’s hard to find this level of service these days. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and honest people.”

From the owner
Founder and owner, Leak Locators East Coast
When your pool keeps losing water and you do not know why, it is frustrating. You start worrying about the water bill, possible damage, and whether someone is going to give you an honest answer.
I’ve worked in the pool industry for over 20 years, and my goal has always been to take that uncertainty off the homeowner’s shoulders. We take the time to find the actual source of the leak, explain what we found clearly, and help you understand what needs to happen next.
When you call Leak Locators East Coast, you are working directly with a local team that cares about getting it right, not rushing through the job or trying to sell you something you do not need.
