Targeted Pool Leak Repair in Denton, TX

Stop Wasting Water & Protect Your Pool Investment

A swimming pool is a major investment, but a hidden leak can quickly turn it into a liability. In Denton, where hot summers accelerate evaporation, distinguishing between natural water loss and a structural failure can be challenging. However, if you are adding inches of water weekly or struggling to balance chemicals, you likely have a breach. American Leak Detection of Fort Worth provides specialized diagnostic and repair services designed to identify the exact source of water loss and resolve it efficiently, protecting your pool’s structure and your wallet.

The Compound Effect of Pool Leaks

A leak is never just about water loss. It is a systemic failure that impacts every part of your pool. Chemically treated water escaping into the soil can erode the ground supporting your deck, leading to cracks and settling. Meanwhile, your pump and heater are forced to work harder to maintain circulation, shortening their operational life. In North Texas, where expansive clay soils shift with moisture levels, a small leak can destabilize the entire pool shell if left unchecked.

  • Financial Drain: Escalating water bills and constant chemical replacement costs.
  • Structural Risks: Cracks in the bond beam, settling concrete decking, 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.

Secure your pool’s future. Call (817) 385-9410 or request a service call to schedule your inspection.

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.

Seamless Resolution: From Detection to Repair

Unlike companies that only provide a report and leave you to find a repairman, American Leak Detection of Fort Worth offers a full-cycle solution. Once our diagnostics have pinpointed the issue, our team is fully equipped to perform the necessary repairs, whether it’s a plumbing fix, a skimmer replacement, or a structural crack repair.

This integrated approach streamlines the process, ensuring the technician who found the leak is the one fixing it. This continuity guarantees accountability and quality. While we offer this comprehensive service for your convenience, we value transparency. You are always free to review our findings and hire another professional if you prefer. Our primary goal is to restore your pool to watertight condition, regardless of who performs the final fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

    "I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work."
    “I’ve been working with Henry since early December when I called ALD out to find a leak in my pier and beam house. Henry was able to find the leak and offer multiple options for repair after doing so. Shortly after his initial visit he was able to repair the leak and get me up and running through the holidays. Unfortunately due to the condition of my plumbing there was no guarantee another leak wouldn’t occur in the near future. My house is 90 years old and all of the cold water plumbing was original galvanized pipe from the 20’s. We decided to come back at a later date and replace the cold side from the service line to each of the fixtures. Below you will find examples of how Henry performed during the job. Quality of Work: Henry performed outstanding work which passed visual and hydrostatic testing with the city Self Motivation: Each day Henry and I discussed the scope of his project and laid out plans for what was to be done. I left him alone unsupervised throughout the job and there was never an issue with him dragging his feet or underperforming the daily tasks. Ingenuity: Henry was able to create logical solutions to several of the issues in and around re-plumbing my house. I challenged him to create an easier way to control the water from inside and outside of the house, offering several service solutions with minimal flow interruptions. Ultimately, Henry was able to build several utility manifolds allowing for independent operation of rooms and fixtures throughout the house. This solution added value to my property and future proofed several common plumbing issues found in other homes. Henry was able to tie into the original service line, minimizing downtime and allowing the project to come in 40% under budget. Ability to Work with Others: Each day Henry showed up with a helper and always go the most out of them while on property. I witnessed him treating each one of them fairly and successfully motivated them to work with him on his tasks. Honesty: Henry realizes the importance of forming long term relationships with his customers. He speaks frank about project goals and challenges and communicates the risk of potential solutions clearly. Henry’s ability to gain trust is his strongest quality, I believe ALD will benefit from the many relationships he forms while on the job now and in the future. I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work. Thanks for helping me out.”

    "Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed."
    “Dear Mr. Thompson, I am writing to inform you of the behavior of two of your technicians that come to my home to diagnose a leak. They were both incredibly courteous and professional and took their time to explain what they were doing. I have not had as great an experience with plumbers in the past as I had using the services these two provided. I was very impressed with their depth of knowledge not only with plumbing but also with ants! They found a massive ant colony behind the wall and helped guide us through how we could get rid of them until we could contact a pest service and even helped to clean up some of the mess with us. The only name I have is Mike Mendoza but he had a colleague with him who deserves the same pat on the back for a job well done. I hope Mike remembers who he rode with that day… would have been 12/20/15 approx. So often, people just call to complain about things so I felt that service as well rendered as these guys did needed a note to the boss-man. My hope is to have them back for the repair phase should this be approved for payment by American Home Shield. Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed. I hope that you have a way to commend them for putting a great face to your company. Strong work!!”

    "Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome."
    “Just wanted to pass on my thanks to both Mike Mendoza & Doyle. They were both very thorough on the first visit and Mike's second visit today to make the repairs and finish the testing needed. It's traumatic enough to go through foundation repairs to then be told you have a plumbing leak. I didn't trust the results received from the plumbing company contracted by the foundation repair company. That's why I called ALD. From the onset I felt comfortable and secure with what Mike was doing. He kept me informed every step during the process and gained my ultimate trust in everything he told me. He was able to isolate the issue right off the bat, where the other company just said the test failed. It's employees like Mike, that make me the consumer feel at ease with what needed to be done. Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome. Thank you for having such dedicated employees on your staff.”
