Expert Pool Leak Repair in Alamogordo, NM

Stop Guessing About Your Pool's Water Loss

In Alamogordo, where the desert sun relentlessly pulls moisture from every surface, some water loss is inevitable. But when you are refilling your pool multiple times a week or watching the water line drop inches overnight, evaporation isn't the culprit; a leak is. American Leak Detection of New Mexico replaces uncertainty with precision. We provide specialized diagnostic and repair services designed to identify the exact source of water loss and fix it, protecting your pool’s structure and your wallet from the compounded costs of a hidden breach.

The Compound Effect of a Pool Leak

A leak is a systemic failure that impacts every aspect of your pool's health. Chemically treated water escaping into the soil can erode the ground supporting your deck, leading to settling pavers and cracked concrete. Meanwhile, your pump and heater are forced to work harder to maintain circulation, shortening their operational life. In Otero County’s shifting soils, a small leak can destabilize the entire pool shell if left unchecked. Identifying the problem early is the only way to prevent minor issues from becoming major restoration projects.

• Financial Drain: Escalating water bills and constant chemical replacement costs.
• Structural Risks: Cracks in the bond beam, loose tiles, or hollow spots under the shell.
• Equipment Strain: Pumps losing prime or running dry due to low water levels.
• Visible Signs: Soggy soil spots around the equipment pad or unusually green grass near the pool.

Precision Diagnostic Methodology

We reject guesswork. Our inspection process is a forensic investigation of your pool’s integrity. Before we touch a tool, we review your water loss history and pool age. On-site, our technicians conduct a comprehensive visual and tactile assessment of the liner, tile line, and equipment pad.

We then deploy advanced diagnostic technology to locate the failure without damaging your property. Pressure testing allows us to isolate underground plumbing lines to determine if the leak is in the pipes or the shell. Hydrophones (underwater microphones) let us listen for the distinct sound of water escaping the vessel. Dye testing confirms minute structural cracks around fittings. This data-driven approach ensures that when we recommend a repair, it is targeted and necessary.

Turnkey Restoration: Diagnosis to Repair

We believe your problem isn't solved until the leak is stopped. While many companies strictly limit themselves to detection, American Leak Detection of New Mexico is equipped to cross the finish line. Once we isolate the issue, our technicians can transition immediately into repair mode, fixing the plumbing break, structural crack, or skimmer failure on the spot. This single-source capability eliminates the hassle of scheduling a second contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it’s evaporation or a leak?

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

Will you have to dig up my deck?

Our goal is to avoid cutting concrete whenever possible. We use pressure testing to confirm if the leak is under the deck. If access is needed, we pinpoint the exact location to keep the opening surgically small.

Can you fix the leak immediately?

In many cases, yes. Minor structural repairs or accessible plumbing fixes can often be done during the same visit. For complex underground repairs, we will provide a detailed plan and schedule the work promptly.

Does a leak affect my pool chemicals?

Yes. As fresh water is added to replace lost water, it dilutes your chemicals, making it harder and more expensive to maintain proper pH and chlorine levels. Fixing the leak stabilizes your water chemistry.
