Las Vegas Pool Leak Detection and Leak Repair Company

Southern Nevada Leak Detection is a local leak detection company based in Las Vegas. We find the exact source of your pool leak, and then we fix it. You don't get a report and a referral to some other contractor. You get one team, one visit when possible, and one invoice.

If your pool is dropping and you're tired of guessing, you're in the right place. Leak detection in Las Vegas is all we do, and we've done it across the Valley for over a decade.

Leak Detection in Las Vegas Starts With Knowing Las Vegas Pools

A pool in Charleston Heights and a pool in Skye Canyon can both leak. They rarely leak in the same way. The age of the neighborhood tells us a lot before we ever unpack the equipment.

Older central and east Las Vegas pools. Many pools built in the 60s through the 80s still have their original plaster and plumbing. We see worn shells, cracked skimmers, dried-out light niche seals, and old pipe transitions buried under the deck. Decades of calcium buildup can hide hairline cracks until the water chemistry shifts.

Mid-era pools in The Lakes, Desert Shores, and Summerlin South. These pools are often on their second or third resurface. Leaks tend to show up at the tile line, the skimmer joint, and the return fittings, where old and new materials meet.

Newer master-planned communities. Centennial Hills, Tule Springs, and Skye Canyon have newer pools with post-tension slabs nearby. The shell is usually sound. The weak points are often builder-grade fittings and glue joints in the original plumbing, plus soil settling around the deck in the first years.

Across all of them, our climate does the rest. Extreme heat, dry air, and caliche soil change how a leak behaves and where the water shows up.

"Tell me the neighborhood and the year the pool went in, and I can usually guess the top two suspects before I get there. Then we test anyway, because a guess is how people end up with a torn-up deck and the same leak."

(Nick, Southern Nevada Leak Detection)

How Our Swimming Pool Leak Detection Works

A general plumbing service is built for the lines inside your home. Pool plumbing leaks are a different job. They need pool-specific tools and a process that rules out every line and surface.

1. Confirm the water loss. We check how fast the pool drops with the pump on and off. That one clue tells us where to start.
2. Inspect the equipment. Drips at the pad are the quickest fix, so we rule them out first.
3. Dye test the shell. Skimmers, light niches, fittings, and cracks get tested in still water.
4. Pressure test each line. We isolate the plumbing one line at a time to find the one that won't hold.
5. Pinpoint with acoustic listening. Hydrophones and ground mics locate a buried break within a foot or two.
6. Repair and confirm. We fix it, then retest so you know it's done.

Seasonal Pool Leak Patterns in Las Vegas

Leaks don't follow the calendar, but the symptoms do. Here's what we see across the year in Las Vegas.

• Summer. Heavy evaporation hides slow leaks. Equipment runs long hours and seals fail. Don't blame the heat without a bucket test. Loss over a quarter inch a day is a red flag.
• Fall. Evaporation slows, so leaks that were hiding all summer become obvious. This is a great time to catch a leak that went undetected for months.
• Winter. Very little evaporation. Cool nights can open small cracks. Any steady water loss now is almost always a leak.
• Spring. Pools come back online. Equipment that sat idle starts to drip at unions and valves. Check the pad before swim season, and fix small drips before summer heat.

Not sure if your loss is a leak or just the desert? Our guide on pool leak vs evaporation shows you how to run a bucket test in 24 hours.

Pool Leak Symptoms Las Vegas Homeowners Should Watch For

Call us if you notice any of these.

• The water line drops more than a quarter inch a day in summer.
• You add water more than once a week, or the autofill never stops.
• Your water bill jumps with no change in usage.
• Soft or soggy ground shows up around the pool or deck.
• Bubbles stream from the return jets while the pump runs.
• Cracks in the deck, tile, or shell keep growing.
• Your chemicals won't hold because fresh water keeps diluting them.

Every week a leak runs, it wastes water and washes out the soil under your deck. Prompt detection keeps the repair small. Call (725) 550-5365 or request a free quote. We prioritize active leaks and often have next-day openings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Leak Detection in Las Vegas

How fast can you get to my Las Vegas home?

Most appointments are scheduled the same week. We often have next-day availability for active leaks. If you request a callback, an owner will reach out within one business day.

Do I need to drain my pool?

No. Our testing works with the pool full. Draining a pool in Las Vegas heat can damage the shell, so we don't recommend it as a first step.

How much does pool leak detection cost?

Every pool is different, so we give you a free quote and upfront pricing before any work starts. You'll know the plan and the price first.

Can you find leaks under my deck or slab?

Yes. Pressure testing tells us which line is leaking. Acoustic listening tells us where. That keeps the repair opening small instead of tearing up the whole deck.

Do you fix the leak or just find it?

Both. Most leak detection companies stop at the report. We repair the leak, usually on the same visit.

Is it a leak or just evaporation?

In summer, normal evaporation is about a quarter inch a day. More than that, or steady loss in winter, points to a leak. A bucket test will tell you in 24 hours.

Do you inspect pools for home sales?

Yes. Our home buyers and sellers pool leak inspection gives you a written report you and your agent can act on.
