It's normal for a pool in South Jersey to lose a small amount of water due to summer evaporation and splashing. However, if you are constantly pulling out the garden hose to top off your pool, you likely have a structural or plumbing leak. With many backyard pools located throughout the Tomlinson Mill and Marlton areas, we see a high volume of pool issues, especially in the spring. Hard New Jersey freezes during the winterizing process can easily crack underground PVC lines, skimmers, or light niches if not properly drained.
Before calling for professional pool leak detection Evesham NJ homeowners can perform a simple "bucket test." Place a bucket on a pool step, fill it to match the pool's water level, and wait 24 hours. If the pool loses significantly more water than the bucket, it's time to call our experts to pinpoint the leak before it undermines your surrounding patio or concrete deck.
Losing more than a quarter inch of water a day?
Don't let a pool leak ruin your summer.

Our process begins with targeted dye testing around the most common failure points: the skimmer box, return jets, main drains, and light niches. If the structural integrity looks solid, we move to the plumbing. We perform meticulous pressure testing on your suction and return lines to determine if the leak is occurring underground between the pool and the pump equipment. This process prevents digging up your expensive pool decking on a guess.
Next Steps and Complementary Services
Once we identify the exact failure point, we outline a clear repair plan. Sometimes it's a simple underwater epoxy patch in a skimmer throat; other times it requires replacing a section of buried PVC. If the leak is located on an underground line, we use acoustic listening equipment similar to what we use for our water line leak detection services.
If you have a large property with complex backyard water systems, we also provide irrigation & sprinkler leak detection to ensure your entire exterior landscape remains leak-free.
