Pool Leak Detection & Repair in Alpharetta, GA
A pool that's losing water faster than evaporation explains usually has a real leak somewhere in the shell, plumbing, or equipment pad. We trace it electronically before recommending any repair.
Why Alpharetta Homes Choose Us
Confirms It's Actually A Leak First
Normal evaporation is often mistaken for a leak. We help you rule that out before assuming a repair is needed.
Traces Before It Digs
Electronic equipment locates the leak's source, whether it's the shell, a fitting, or buried plumbing, before anything gets opened.
Works With Your Pool Contractor
If the fix is a shell or surface repair outside plumbing scope, we can coordinate with your pool company rather than leaving you to manage two separate calls.
Flat Price First
You approve a price for the confirmed repair before any work starts.
What Brings Alpharetta Homeowners To This Page
Water Loss Beyond Normal Evaporation
Losing more than about a quarter inch of water per day, once evaporation is accounted for, usually points to an actual leak.
Wet Spots Near The Equipment Pad
Standing water or soggy ground around the pump, filter, or heater often traces back to a fitting or plumbing leak at the pad.
A Pool That Won't Hold Its Water Level Overnight
A consistent, repeatable drop overnight is a stronger signal than a one-time reading.
Cracks Or Discoloration In The Shell
Visible cracking, especially near steps, lights, or fittings, is a common leak point worth tracing directly.
What This Looks Like In Alpharetta
Alpharetta's larger-lot single-family homes, especially in newer subdivisions along the GA-400 corridor, support a meaningfully higher rate of in-ground pool ownership than many surrounding markets. That's reflected in the number of local pool builders actively working here.
Alpharetta's red clay soil shifts with moisture, and that same movement can stress the plumbing lines running between a pool's equipment pad and the shell over years, similar to how it affects buried water lines elsewhere on a property.
We coordinate directly with pool contractors when a leak turns out to be shell or liner related, so you're not left managing two separate, uncoordinated repair calls for the same underlying problem.

Worth Knowing Before You Call
If a pool leak has gone unnoticed long enough to affect nearby landscaping or hardscaping, that's closer to general leak detection territory for the surrounding property, not just the pool itself.
A fitting or valve repair at the equipment pad sometimes overlaps with general plumbing repair if it's not strictly pool-specific, and any backflow connection between pool plumbing and the household water supply still falls under the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code.
We see a fair number of these calls in Johns Creek's newer subdivisions, where larger lots and in-ground pools are common.
How It Works
Rule Out Evaporation
A simple bucket test helps confirm whether water loss is a real leak or normal seasonal evaporation.
Trace The Leak
Electronic equipment narrows down whether the leak is in the shell, the plumbing, or the equipment pad.
Quote The Fix
Flat price for the confirmed repair, whether that's a fitting, a plumbing line, or a referral to your pool contractor for shell work.
Repair And Verify
Complete the plumbing-side repair and confirm the water level holds before considering the job done.
What Affects The Cost
We confirm an exact price on-site, before any work starts. A few things typically shape it.
Homeowner's insurance sometimes covers sudden, accidental damage like a burst pipe, but usually not general wear-and-tear repairs. Check your specific policy; we can't make that call for you. Either way, call (770) 214-4545 and we'll give you your real number before anything starts.
Common Questions
A basic bucket test, comparing water loss inside a bucket on the pool step to the pool's actual water loss over 24 hours, is a simple way to tell the two apart before calling anyone.
No, shell and liner repairs are typically a pool contractor's scope. We handle the plumbing side, fittings, buried lines, and equipment pad connections, and can coordinate with your pool company if the leak turns out to be shell-related.
Yes, especially if the leak is near the foundation or a buried line runs close to the house. A steady, unnoticed leak over months can contribute to soil movement or, in rare cases, structural concerns worth catching early.
Not always. Electronic tracing can often locate a leak without draining. Some repairs do require a partial drain to access the specific area, which we'll explain before starting.
