Leak Detection for Pools & Spas in Los Angeles
Stop Water Loss Before It Damages Your Property
Los Angeles's abundance of backyard pools and spas comes with a common and often expensive problem: a leaking pool shell, plumbing line, or equipment pad connection that quietly wastes thousands of gallons and drives up your water bill without an obvious visible sign. Reyes Plumbing Los Angeles LLC performs professional pool and spa leak detection using pressure testing, dye testing, and acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint the exact source before any excavation begins.
Common leak sources we diagnose include cracked or separated PVC plumbing beneath the deck, failed skimmer or light niche seals, worn equipment pad fittings, and shell cracks below the waterline. Because pool plumbing typically runs beneath concrete decking, accurate diagnosis before digging saves significant time and repair cost compared to guessing at a location.
Once we've isolated the leak, we handle the repair directly — whether that means a targeted deck cut to access a cracked plumbing line, resealing a skimmer or light fixture, or repairing equipment pad connections. We also check for the more subtle signs of a slow leak, like unexplained algae growth or a pool that consistently needs more chemicals than expected, both of which can point to hidden water loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pool has a leak?
Water loss beyond normal evaporation (roughly a quarter inch per day), unexplained algae, or rising chemical use are common signs worth investigating.
Will you need to dig up my whole deck to find the leak?
We use pressure and acoustic testing to isolate the leak location first, so excavation is limited to the specific area rather than the whole deck.
Can you repair the leak the same day it's found?
Many equipment pad and accessible plumbing leaks can be repaired same-day; leaks requiring deck cuts are typically scheduled within a few days.
