Leak Detection (Repairs Offered Separately)

We provide utmost thorough leak detection and even warrant our leak detections for 45 days from the day the leak detection is performed (provided that our customers approve the necessary repairs to be performed by us.*)

*If another company other than Backyard Brothers is hired to perform the repairs, then we are unable to provide a warranty on the leak detection. It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if the pool continues to leak after any recommended repairs have been completed.

How do I know if my pool is leaking?

We recommend performing this test before spending money on a swimming pool leak detection:

Bucket Test: A bucket is placed on the top step in a swimming pool. We like for the bucket to be filled to within an inch of the top with water (the higher water level in the bucket will help it stay put). Once the bucket is filled to within an inch of the top with water, the water level inside the bucket should be marked, and the exterior of the bucket should then be marked to the water level of the swimming pool. Run the pool equipment under normal operation for 24 hours to see if there is a greater change in the pool water level than the change in water level inside the bucket. If the change in water level in the pool is more than the change in the water level in the bucket, then the pool is losing more water than is caused by evaporation.

How do I fix my leaking swimming pool?

We perform a leak detection on your swimming pool for a flat rate. The rate for leak detection includes the leak detection only, all repairs are quoted separately. We will determine where your swimming pool is leaking and give you a quote for a repair of the leaks we find.

What if I have more than one plumbing leak?

Usually we can find and fix a leaking pool with one leak detection. However there are cases where a swimming pool has more than one underground plumbing leak and a secondary leak detection is needed. In this scenario we may not discover the secondary leak if it is small until the primary plumbing leak has been repaired and the plumbing lines have been pressurized to verify if they hold water.

Every time we perform an underground plumbing repair the line is retested to ensure no additional leaks exist on that specific line upon completion of the repair.

Price includes first four hours for two technicians.  Additional charges can be incurred.
