Expert Pool Leak Repair in Midland, TX
Stop Hidden Water Loss in Your Pool, Spa, or Fountain
Watching your water bill climb while constantly topping off your pool is more than just frustrating; it’s a sign of a potential leak that requires immediate attention. In Midland, where high evaporation rates can mask structural issues, distinguishing between normal water loss and a plumbing failure requires professional diagnostics. American Leak Detection of Midland provides specialized leak detection and repair services for residential pools, spas, and fountains, helping you protect your investment and enjoy your backyard worry-free.
Risks of Unaddressed Pool Leaks
A small leak in a pool or spa rarely stays small. Water escaping from the shell or underground plumbing washes away the soil supporting the structure, leading to settling decks, cracks in the concrete, and even structural failure. Beyond the physical damage, the continuous loss of treated water wastes expensive chemicals and forces your pump and heater to work harder, shortening their lifespan. Addressing these issues early is the only way to prevent minor repairs from becoming major renovation projects.
- Financial Impact: Rising water bills and increased chemical costs due to dilution.
- Structural Signs: Cracks in the pool shell, settling deck sections, or soggy soil spots.
- System Strain: Air bubbles in return lines, pumps losing prime, or equipment cycling frequently.
- Water Loss: Dropping water levels of more than 1/4 inch per day, exceeding normal evaporation.

Precision Diagnostic Process
We employ a systematic, non-invasive approach to identify the exact source of water loss. Before any repair work begins, our technicians conduct a comprehensive inspection of the pool structure, plumbing lines, and equipment pad.
We utilize specialized pressure testing to isolate plumbing leaks and acoustic listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping underground. We also perform dye testing around skimmers, lights, and return fittings to identify structural breaches. This methodical process allows us to pinpoint the problem area accurately, ensuring that any necessary excavation or deck removal is kept to the absolute minimum required for the repair.
Seamless Detection and Repair Solutions
Unlike companies that only identify the problem and leave you to find a separate contractor, American Leak Detection of Midland offers a complete path to restoration. Once we pinpoint the leak, our team is fully equipped to perform the necessary repairs immediately.
This integrated approach saves you the stress of coordinating with multiple vendors and ensures the team fixing the issue has firsthand knowledge of the diagnostic findings. While we offer this "find and fix" service for your convenience, we maintain full transparency. You are always free to review our diagnostic report and hire a different pool contractor if you prefer. Our primary goal is to solve the problem effectively, whichever option you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
A simple "bucket test" can help. Fill a bucket with water, place it on the pool steps so the water level inside matches the pool level outside, and mark both. After 24 hours, compare the loss. If the pool level dropped more than the bucket level, you likely have a leak.
Will you have to cut into my pool deck?
Our goal is to avoid cutting whenever possible. We use advanced testing to locate leaks precisely. If a leak is under the deck, we will discuss the specific access needed and work to minimize the size of the opening.
Do you fix the leak after finding it?
Yes. American Leak Detection of Midland is a full-service provider. We can locate the leak and perform the necessary structural or plumbing repairs, often in the same engagement. However, if you prefer another contractor, we can provide a detailed report to guide them.
Can you repair leaks in spas and fountains, too?
Yes. We service residential pools, attached and standalone spas, and decorative fountains. We apply the same rigorous detection and repair standards to all water features to ensure they are watertight and functioning correctly.
