    Keeping your pool running smoothly takes a lot more than a skimming every now and then.

    Signs your pool has a leak

    A pool loses some water to evaporation no matter what, but a few signs point to something more. If the water level keeps dropping faster than evaporation alone would explain, if it drops even with the pump switched off, or if you find yourself adding water every few days instead of every few weeks, that is usually a leak rather than ordinary water loss.

    How we find it

    • Pressure testing on the plumbing lines
    • Dye testing at fittings, lights, skimmers and returns
    • A full check of the pool shell and equipment pad

    These methods locate where water is escaping without cutting into decking or digging up plumbing to search for it, and you receive a quote within 24 hours of the inspection.

    Memphis rain complicates the math

    Working out how much water loss is normal is harder in a city that averages 54.94 inches of rain a year, with March alone typically bringing 5.74 inches. Heavy rain raises the water level on its own, which can mask a leak for weeks before the level drops back down to where a real problem becomes obvious. A proper leak check accounts for recent rainfall rather than comparing today's level to a reading taken right after a storm.

    Leak checks from Whitehaven to Cordova

    Whitehaven is home to about 50,000 residents in south Memphis and to Graceland, Elvis Presley's home on Elvis Presley Boulevard, which makes it one of the most visited neighborhoods in the city. Hickory Hill, just east of it, and Cordova, one of the fastest growing parts of the Memphis area, round out a wide range of pool ages and ground conditions across the three areas. None of that changes how a leak actually gets found. Pressure testing on the plumbing lines shows whether the problem is in the pipes rather than the pool shell itself, and dye testing at fittings, lights, skimmers and returns narrows it down to a specific spot without opening up decking or digging through a yard to search blindly. Older plumbing in an established neighborhood and newer plumbing in a recently built one can both develop a leak, and the same pressure and dye testing finds either one just as reliably.

    Memphis Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions

    Which Memphis neighborhoods do you cover?

    We look after pools across Memphis, including East Memphis, Midtown, Cooper Young, Central Gardens, Chickasaw Gardens and Harbor Town. The full list of areas is on our Memphis page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.

    What happens if you find a leak?

    We show you where it is and explain the repair options. Many leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights or small cracks can be repaired directly. Larger structural or underground plumbing repairs are quoted separately so you can decide with the full picture.

    Why does a small leak matter?

    A pool holds a large volume of water, so a small leak adds up quickly. Beyond the water bill, a leak makes chemistry impossible to hold because treated water keeps escaping, it strains the pump and circulation system and water escaping into the ground can damage landscaping and, over time, the surrounding structure.

    Can you test the plumbing lines as well as the pool shell?

    Yes. Pressure testing checks the plumbing lines individually, which is how we tell a plumbing leak from a leak in the shell or liner. It is worth testing all the lines even when the leak seems obvious, because a second leak is easy to miss.

    Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?

    Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
