We Find the Leak, and We Fix It
Pool Leak Detection and Liner Repair in North Bethesda MD
The Art of Complete Pool Care
Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way with steady, dependable care year after year.
Swimming Pool Leaks
A pool loses some water every day to sun and wind. When you’re adding water more often than usual, you may have a leak. Acting fast keeps your water bill down and stops damage from spreading.
When you call, we inspect the pool, the plumbing and the equipment to find where the water is going. Then we explain what we found and how we’ll fix it, whether the problem is in a pipe, a fitting or the pool shell.
Signs You May Have a Leak
- You add water more than once a week
- Wet or soggy spots in the yard near the pool
- A higher water bill with no other cause
- Air bubbles in the return lines
- Cracks in the plaster, tile line or deck
- A bucket test shows the pool losing more water than the bucket
Structural & Safety Benefits
- Prevent structural damage: Water escaping through a leak can soak the surrounding soil, causing erosion that weakens the pool's foundation, and in some cases, even your home's foundation.
- Keep proper water balance: A leak throws off your pool's chemistry, making it much harder to keep the water clean and safe to swim in. Fixing the leak makes balancing your water far easier.
- Improve health and safety: Leaks can create standing water around the pool, which turns into a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Wet areas near the deck also raise the risk of slips and falls.
- Protect pool equipment: A bigger leak can pull air into the plumbing, which puts heavy strain on pumps and other equipment, leading to costly repairs or early replacement.
More Benefits
Repairing a pool leak fast helps you avoid rising water and chemical costs, prevents structural damage to your pool and surrounding property, protects your equipment from unnecessary wear, and keeps your swimming area safe and healthy.
Financial Savings
- Lower water bills: A leak can waste thousands of gallons of water, creating a real and ongoing spike in your water bill that only gets worse over time.
- Lower chemical costs: Constantly topping off your pool with fresh water dilutes your chemicals, which forces you to buy and add more just to keep your water balanced.
- Avoid expensive repairs: Catching a small leak early is far cheaper than dealing with the secondary damage that builds up when it's ignored, including major structural repairs, equipment replacement, or even foundation work on your home.
- Structural integrity: Water from a leak saturates the surrounding soil, leading to erosion and ground shifting. Over time, this can crack the pool shell, cause your deck to settle or heave, and in serious cases, hurt your home's foundation.
- Landscape damage: The constant flow of water and chemicals into the surrounding ground can kill grass and plants, leaving you with muddy, soggy, or washed-out spots in your yard.
- Sinkhole prevention: In extreme cases, ongoing underground leaks can slowly wash away soil beneath the surface, which can lead to sinkholes forming on your property.
