Pool Leak Detection questions
How much water loss is normal?
Evaporation of roughly 1/8 to 1/4 inch per day is normal in a Southern California summer, more during Santa Ana wind events. Consistently more than that points to a leak.
Do you have to dig?
Not to find the leak. Detection is non-destructive. Excavation only happens if an underground line repair is required, and only at the confirmed location.
Can you repair what you find?
Yes — skimmer, return, fitting, light niche and line repairs are all handled in-house.
