It's one of the first things people ask when they call us. The honest answer is that it depends on what's going on with your pool, but here's a straightforward breakdown of what affects the cost and what you can generally expect.
What Drives the Price Up or Down
How complicated the leak is
A pressure test that quickly identifies a leaking skimmer line is pretty simple. But if multiple lines need to be isolated and tested, or if the leak is inside the shell rather than in the plumbing, it takes more time and equipment. More complex situations cost more.
Where the leak is located
Leaks at the equipment pad or at visible fittings are easier to access and diagnose. Underground leaks or leaks under the deck require more work to find and reach.
The age and size of your pool
Larger pools have more plumbing lines to test. Older pools sometimes have multiple issues happening at once, which adds to the diagnostic time.
The Real Cost of Not Finding It
This is what most people don't think about upfront. A pool losing one inch of water a day can waste over 200 gallons. Over a month in a Texas summer that's 6,000 gallons plus all the chemicals needed to treat the fresh water you keep adding. The water bill alone adds up fast.
Beyond the utility costs, an undetected leak in DFW soaks into the clay soil underneath your pool. That soil shifts. Decks settle. Coping cracks. What starts as a leak detection job can turn into a structural repair job if it goes too long. Finding and fixing it early is almost always the cheaper path.
