Pools, Spas & Fountain Leak Detection for Unexplained Water Loss

Recurring refills, wet ground, or an autofill that rarely stops can point to a leak in the pool shell, underground plumbing, fittings, or pool equipment. We provide Pools, Spas & Fountain Leak Detection for Redlands homeowners who need to identify the source before making repair decisions.

At American Leak Detection of San Bernardino, we use non-invasive methods to investigate water loss without unnecessary digging or deck removal. Our Leak Detection Without Destruction™ approach provides specific findings that can guide pool leak repair planning and estimates.

Signs Your Pool May Be Leaking

Evaporation, splash-out, and backwashing can lower a pool’s water level, so a change doesn’t always indicate a leak. A 24-hour bucket test compares the water loss inside a water-filled bucket with the loss from the pool. It’s a useful initial check, but it can’t locate a concealed structural or plumbing problem.

Consider professional testing when you notice:

Frequent refilling or an autofill that runs more often than expected.
A water bill increase without another known cause.
Persistent puddles or wet soil near the pool, deck, or equipment.
Pool equipment that repeatedly loses prime.
Visible cracks, gaps, or separation around fittings and structural features.
A drop in the water level that changes when the circulation system is operating.

An unresolved leak can waste water and affect surrounding soil, landscaping, or hardscape. Locating the source shows whether water is escaping through the plumbing, shell, fittings, drains, or equipment connections.

More Than 40 Years of Leak Detection Experience

As The Original Leak Specialists, we use proprietary techniques and rigorous technician training focused on accurate water-feature leak detection.

We arrive on time, complete the evaluation within the agreed time frame, and leave the premises clean. Our Know Before You Go approach provides upfront pricing information before additional repair work proceeds.

How We Pinpoint Pool, Spa, & Fountain Leaks

We begin by reviewing when the problem started, how often the feature needs refilling, and whether equipment operation changes the rate of loss. We also examine accessible components and visible conditions that may narrow the search to the shell, plumbing, fittings, or equipment.

Depending on the suspected source, our testing may include:

pressure testing: Testing plumbing sections to help isolate a possible leak in underground suction or return lines.
electronic listening equipment: Listening for sounds associated with water escaping from concealed plumbing.
dye testing: Tracing water movement near cracks, fittings, drains, lights, and other structural features.

Detection is completed before repair recommendations are made. We explain the likely location, discuss relevant repair considerations, and provide an inspection report so you have a documented basis for deciding what happens next.

Common Pool, Spa & Fountain Leak Locations

Residential water features contain structural components, plumbing lines, fittings, and equipment connections that can develop leaks. The visible wet area isn’t always directly above the source, particularly when water travels through soil, concrete, or concealed plumbing.

Potential leak locations include:

Pools: Skimmer connections, return outlets, main drains, light niches, tile lines, structural cracks, underground suction lines, return lines, and equipment connections.
Spas: Jets, spillways, fittings, seals, shared plumbing, and connections inside compact equipment areas.
Fountains: Basins, visible fixtures, concealed supply lines, buried return lines, and hardscape connections.

Accurate source identification lets you or your chosen repair professional plan around the confirmed problem instead of opening multiple areas to search by trial and error.

Schedule a Pool Leak Evaluation in Redlands

If unexplained water loss continues, we can evaluate the shell, plumbing, fittings, and equipment to give you a clearer basis for repair decisions. Contact us for an evaluation, and have basic details ready about when the problem began, how often you add water, whether the loss changes while equipment runs, and where you’ve noticed wet areas or damage.

See What Our Customers Say

"Outstanding"
“Outstanding customer service!”

- Sylvia B.
"All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner!"
“I cannot tell you how pleased we were with ALD's work this past week. Your company has assisted us in Palm Springs over the years and also, on occasion, at our main home in Pasadena. As you know, we have quite a unique property and extra care is required to maintain the original 1950's appearance of the home. We were frankly at a loss to find a practical solution to permanently eliminate the risk of our main sewer line clogging as a result of multiple root intrusions. We are also located on a rock ledge, further complicating the challenge. Your team was initially headed by Erick Morales, later joined by his supervisor Andy and as the project unfolded, by several other knowledgeable employees of the firm. All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner and Erick, who had been here in the past, stood out. I even suggested some additional work, yet Erick, once more, provided a more practical solution. Erick also worked very well with our staff. As a former Chief Executive of First Interstate Bank, later the senior Managing Director of what is today JPMorganChase and at present Chairman of the Palm Springs Art Museum, I was struck by your team's "advisory, consultative" approach rather than what is more typical "sales" approach. The team determined the source and location of the problem, discussed various alternatives, brought in experts, arrived at a workable solution which was then followed by a proposal. That proposal was executed to the letter, within budget and in a timely fashion. We would be most pleased to serve as a reference should this be helpful. It was a pleasure to meet you during the process.”

- Harold M.
"Prompt, thorough and completely professional."
“Please allow this letter to serve as our recommendation for American Leak Detection. We have used the services of this company on countless occasions over the many years, and we have always found them to be prompt, thorough and completely professional. A few years ago we had a string of leaks which had gone undetected during the summer months and had caused a tremendous amount of damage, including mold. Jimmy Carter and American Leak Detection came to our assistance immediately and solved the problems in a timely and competent manner. I might also add the office staff is always very courteous and helpful. We will continue to use the services of American Leak Detection in the future.”
