The Empire Pools Step-by-Step Leak Detection Process

When you book leak detection with Empire Pools, you’re not getting guesswork — you’re getting a proven system perfected over 25 years of diagnosing Long Island pools. Every step is designed to accurately locate the problem and protect your investment from costly damage. Here’s how our process works:

Baseline & Bucket Testing
We start by ruling out normal evaporation. Using bucket and baseline measurements, our technicians confirm true water loss and establish the daily drop rate before testing further.

Dye Testing at Key Areas
Next, we use specialized dye around common problem points — skimmers, returns, steps, lights, and visible cracks. This helps pinpoint suction points where water is being pulled out of the pool.

Plumbing Line Pressure Tests
Our team isolates suction and return lines, then applies controlled air pressure with plugs and gauges. Any loss in pressure indicates a hidden underground leak.

Acoustic Listening Equipment
With advanced electronic listening devices, we can hear escaping water underground or behind structures. This allows us to mark exact leak locations with minimal disruption.

Skimmer, Throat & Main Drain Checks
We carefully inspect skimmer bodies, throats, and main drain pots for cracks or separations. Targeted dye and putty checks confirm whether these high-hit areas are failing.

Equipment Pad Inspection
Pumps, unions, multiport valves, heaters, and chlorinators are all inspected for seal leaks, air infiltration, and faulty gaskets that may cause water loss.

Findings & Clear Next Steps
Finally, we compile our results into a clear report. You’ll know the exact source of the leak, supported by photos and technician notes, along with recommendations for the most effective repair options.

⚠️ Important Notes About What’s Not Included:

  • Leak detection is a diagnostic service — repairs are quoted separately once the problem is identified.

  • Pools must be filled to proper operating level before testing; we cannot perform accurate diagnostics if water is too low.

When you see our technicians at work, you’ll notice we don’t skip steps or make assumptions. Every leak detection appointment is done with precision, documented thoroughly, and explained in plain language — so you know exactly what’s happening and how to move forward.

Leak Detection

Is Your Pool Showing These Warning Signs? Don’t Ignore Them.

Pool leaks aren’t always obvious — but they get expensive fast. If you spot any of the signs below, reach out now. Text “LEAK” to 631-928-0225 or call for fast detection and a clear repair plan.

  • Water level dropping overnight — more than ¼–½ inch/day is suspicious. Some leaks can reach an inch/day.
  • Cracks in the pool surface or decking — small gaps in plaster, tile, vinyl liner, or around the skimmer throat can be leak entry points.
  • Wet spots near equipment or along the deck — standing water or soft soil often means trouble just below the surface.
  • Wrinkles, bubbles, or tears in the liner — visible liner damage almost always means water is escaping quickly.
  • Constantly adding chemicals? — leaks dilute sanitizer and burn cash. Stop the drain and stabilize your water.

If you’re noticing even one of these signs, don’t wait until it worsens. Call 631-928-0225 or tap below to schedule your leak inspection today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pool Leak Detection — Clear, Practical Answers

How do I know if I have a leak vs. normal evaporation?
We start with a bucket/baseline test. Typical evaporation is ~⅛–¼″ per day in season. If your measured loss exceeds that, especially with pump off, it’s likely a system or structure leak.
What tests do you perform during leak detection?
We layer methods: dye tracing (lights, steps, returns, skimmers), pressure testing of lines, and acoustic listening / tracer gas when needed. Findings are documented with photos and markings.
Can you find underground plumbing leaks?
Yes. Isolated pressure testing identifies failing runs. Acoustic/tracer gas helps pinpoint subsurface leaks so repairs are targeted—not guesswork.
Do you check the equipment pad for air or water leaks?
Absolutely. We inspect pump lids, valves, heaters, chlorinators, and unions for suction leaks and drips that affect priming and water loss.
Will you fix the leak the same day?
Small issues (gaskets, lid O-rings, minor putty at skimmer throat) can often be addressed on the spot. Structural or underground repairs are quoted with options and timelines.
How should I prep for the appointment?
Mark the current waterline, note 24-hour loss with the pump off, and ensure gate access & power at the pad. Having recent photos ready speeds diagnosis.
What does leak detection cost?
Pricing typically starts at $350 + tax for standard tests. Complex pools or multiple suspected areas may require extended testing; we’ll confirm scope up front.
Do you provide a report with next steps?
Yes. You’ll receive a concise summary with photos, marked locations, and repair recommendations so you can act quickly.
Will leak detection require draining the pool?
No. Most diagnostics are performed with the pool full. Partial drains are only needed for specific structural inspections or repairs; we’ll advise if required.
Do you work on salt systems and spas?
Yes. We test salt cells and lines, as well as attached spas and features (sheer descents, bubblers, laminars) as part of the workflow.
How do I schedule leak detection?
Text photos of the pool, equipment pad, and suspected areas with your town and “Leak Detection.” We’ll reply with availability and an exact plan.
