Precision Pool Leak Detection in Alamogordo, NM

Stop Pool Water Loss With Precise Testing

In Alamogordo, where desert heat accelerates evaporation, and water is a precious resource, a leaking pool is a costly problem. If you find yourself dragging the hose out to refill your pool multiple times a week or struggling to balance chemicals, you are likely facing a hidden leak. American Leak Detection of New Mexico replaces guesswork with data, providing specialized, non-invasive diagnostic services to pinpoint the source of water loss, protecting your pool’s structure and your wallet.

The Cost of Unresolved Leaks in the Desert

A pool leak is never isolated; it disrupts the entire system. Constant refilling dilutes chemicals, forcing you to spend more on balancing agents. Your pump and heater work harder to maintain circulation, shortening their lifespan. In Otero County’s shifting soils, escaping water can erode the ground supporting your pool deck, leading to cracks and settling. Identifying the problem early is the only way to prevent minor issues from becoming major restoration projects.

• Financial Indicators: Higher water bills and increased chemical consumption.
• System Signs: Air bubbles in return lines or the pump losing prime.
• Structural Clues: Cracks in the bond beam, loose tiles, or settling deck sections.
• Water Loss: Losing more than 1/4 inch of water per day, exceeding normal evaporation.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Process

We employ a systematic, non-invasive inspection process tailored to Alamogordo’s specific pool types. Before arriving, we review your observations regarding water loss. On-site, our technicians conduct a thorough visual check of the shell, fittings, and equipment pad.

We utilize advanced diagnostic technology to investigate without destruction. Pressure testing isolates plumbing lines to determine if the leak is underground. Hydrophones (underwater microphones) allow us to listen for the sound of escaping water. Dye testing confirms leaks around skimmers, lights, and return fittings. This methodical approach ensures we identify the root cause, whether it’s a structural crack or a plumbing failure, without unnecessary digging or damage to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?

Perform a "bucket test." Fill a bucket with pool water, place it on a step so the water levels match inside and out, and mark both. After 24 hours, compare the loss. If the pool level dropped more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

Will you have to drain my pool to find the leak?

In most cases, no. Our testing methods, including listening devices and dye tests, are performed with the water in place. Draining is rarely necessary for detection.

Do you repair the leak after finding it?

Yes. American Leak Detection of New Mexico is a full-service provider. We can locate the leak and perform the necessary repairs, providing a seamless transition from diagnosis to resolution. However, you are free to use our report to hire another contractor if you prefer.

Can you find leaks in underground plumbing?

Yes. We use pressure testing to evaluate underground supply and return lines. If a line fails to hold pressure, we use listening equipment to pinpoint the location of the break underground.
