Pool Leak Detection in Wrightsville Beach

Leak Locators East Coast serves Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Common signs of a leak include a level that will not hold, a pump losing prime, or wet ground near the equipment pad. We test each system on its own to narrow where the water is going. That part is non-invasive. Anything that needs opening is a repair step that follows, once the source has been located or narrowed.

Method

How the leak is located

Specialized diagnostic equipment is what makes that narrowing possible. Acoustic listening tools and pressure-testing systems help reduce a whole pool to a smaller area of interest, which supports a more targeted repair decision and less exploratory work.

A typical inspection here follows this process.

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Locate

    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.

  3. Resolve

    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.

Local work — Wrightsville Beach, NC

This homeowner was losing two inches of water a day.

Nothing showed at the surface, so each line was isolated and pressure-tested in turn. Three breaks were under the concrete — two in the return line, one in the main drain about five feet down. All three were repaired on the same visit.

FAQ

Questions people ask

See all frequently asked questions
The pool is losing water but nothing looks wrong. Is that normal?

It is the usual way this presents. A loss big enough to show on the level is often far too small to see, and the places it commonly comes from — a fitting, a seam, a line below the deck — are not visible from the water. Not being able to see it is not evidence there is nothing there.

How quickly can someone look at it?

Call and we will tell you what is actually available. We do not publish a response time we cannot keep.

What if the leak is under the deck?

Locating it does not require opening the deck. If the repair does, that comes afterward and is focused on the area identified.

Do you work on pools at rental properties?

Yes. Tell us when you call that it is a rental and who holds access, because whether the pool is occupied or between guests is usually what decides when we can get to it, rather than anything about the testing itself.
