Pool leak detection in Emerald Isle
Emerald Isle is on Bogue Banks in Carteret County and is the farthest of our North Carolina service areas from Wilmington. Because it is a longer trip, we plan each visit to answer the question properly rather than take a quick look. Call and describe what your pool is doing. Before anyone commits to anything, we will tell you honestly whether a visit makes sense and what it would involve.
Method
How the leak is located
We use the same equipment wherever the pool is: acoustic listening, pressure testing and, where it helps, dye testing. What changes on a longer trip is the planning. Knowing in advance what the pool has been doing means we arrive ready to run the right tests.
An Emerald Isle visit is planned around these steps.
Detect
We confirm the pool is losing water and rule out evaporation. Then we isolate each plumbing line and pressure-test it; a line that will not hold pressure is the one with the problem.
Locate
Acoustic listening equipment narrows the leak down to one point along the line, and we mark the surface above it. Nothing is opened to find the leak.
Repair
The repair needs only a small opening at the marked point. If you schedule it with us, the same crew that found the leak makes the repair, and your written report covers what was tested, found and fixed.

A travel fee applies to locations 45 minutes or more from Wilmington, North Carolina. The amount depends on the distance, so call or text for a quote.
What should I have ready before you arrive?
The pool should be full and clean, with little to no algae or debris, so it can be tested. It also helps to know roughly how much water is being lost and over what period, whether the loss happens with the equipment running or off, and anything you have noticed around the deck or equipment pad. That shortens the visit considerably.
Can you tell me over the phone whether it is a leak?
Not definitively. However, if you describe what the water level has been doing, we can usually tell you whether a visit is worthwhile.
