Evaporation Versus Leak Test
We use a controlled comparison test to determine whether your pool's water loss is within the normal range for Las Vegas's climate or exceeds it, indicating an actual leak.
Expert leak detection for your pool needs
Pool Leak Detection Las Vegas NV for Your Home
Pool Leak Detection Las Vegas NV starts with a simple question, is your pool actually leaking, or is Las Vegas's heat and low humidity just causing normal evaporation. Our technicians confirm which one it is, then pinpoint the exact source if a real leak is found, from the pool shell itself to the plumbing and equipment pad.
Careful work. Honest options.
About this service
What Our Pool Leak Detection Service Finds
Our pool leak detection service finds leaks in pool shells, underground plumbing, skimmers, fittings, and equipment pads. We use dye testing, pressure testing, and evaporation comparison to pinpoint the exact source without draining your pool or tearing up your deck.
We also confirm whether the water loss is actually a leak or just normal evaporation for Las Vegas's climate, so you're not chasing a problem that doesn't exist. We serve Summerlin, Henderson, Spring Valley, Green Valley, Enterprise, and all surrounding Las Vegas areas with accurate, non invasive pool leak detection.

What's included
What Our Pool Leak Detection Service Includes
Our pool leak detection service starts with ruling out evaporation, then narrows down the source if a genuine leak is confirmed.
Pressure Testing Pool Plumbing
If plumbing is suspected, we pressure test the pool's return and suction lines separately to isolate which section, if any, is losing pressure.
Dye Testing at Suspected Points
For structural leaks in the pool shell, liner, or fittings, we use dye testing at likely trouble spots like light niches, skimmers, and plaster cracks to visually confirm the exact leak location.
Equipment Pad Inspection
We check the pump, filter, and equipment pad connections separately, since leaks here are sometimes mistaken for pool shell issues.
How it works
How Does Pool Leak Detection Work?
We start by comparing your pool's actual water loss against the expected evaporation rate for current weather conditions, which rules the question in or out before any equipment comes out.
If loss exceeds normal evaporation, we test the pool's plumbing lines under pressure and inspect the shell, liner, and fittings for signs of a structural leak.
At likely trouble spots, we use dye testing to visually confirm exactly where water is escaping, rather than guessing based on general area alone.
We separately verify the pump, filter, and surrounding plumbing at the equipment pad, since leaks here can mimic symptoms of a pool shell leak.
Once confirmed, we walk you through what was found and what repair options exist, whether that's a simple fitting seal or a more involved structural repair.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods for Pool Leak Detection
Evaporation Comparison Testing
Compares your pool's actual water loss against the expected rate for local temperature and humidity, the first and most important step in confirming a real leak exists.
Pressure Testing Equipment
Isolates and pressurizes individual plumbing lines to identify which specific line, if any, is losing pressure and therefore leaking.
Dye Testing Kits
Releases colored dye near suspected leak points like skimmers, light niches, and cracks, making the path of escaping water visible to the naked eye.
Listening Devices for Underground Lines
Detects the sound of water escaping from buried plumbing lines running beneath the pool deck, helping locate leaks that aren't visible from the surface.
Real results
Before and after.
Pool Leak Detection
Evaporation Misdiagnosis
A homeowner assumed their pool had a leak based on how quickly the water level dropped during a particularly hot stretch of summer.
After: Testing confirmed the loss was within normal evaporation range for the conditions, saving the homeowner from an unnecessary repair search.

Pool Leak Detection
Skimmer Leak
A pool's water level consistently dropped below the skimmer line faster than expected, even during milder weather.
After: Dye testing identified a small crack around the skimmer housing, allowing for a targeted seal repair.

Pool Leak Detection
Underground Plumbing Leak
A property saw a steady, unexplained water loss with no visible cracks anywhere on the pool's surface.
After: Pressure testing isolated a leaking return line buried beneath the pool deck, confirming the source without draining the pool.

Problems Solved by Pool Leak Detection
Pool leak detection addresses issues that quietly drain money and water if left unaddressed.
Ask a pro →Confusing evaporation for a real leak
Chasing a leak that doesn't exist wastes time and money. Confirming the actual cause first prevents unnecessary repairs.
Steady, unexplained water loss
A genuine leak keeps draining water even when it's not obvious from the surface, adding up to real cost over time if it goes unfound.
Algae growth tied to water chemistry disruption
A leak can throw off your pool's chemical balance as it constantly refills, contributing to algae growth that's really a symptom of the underlying leak.
Reading the Signs
How to Know If You Need Pool Leak Detection
Since evaporation is a normal part of pool ownership in this climate, here's how to tell if what you're seeing is actually a leak.
Water Loss Beyond Normal Evaporation
If your pool is losing more than roughly a quarter inch of water per day in typical conditions, that's beyond what evaporation alone usually accounts for.

What Our Customers Say
★★★★★
"I was sure our pool had a leak given how fast the water dropped this summer. Turned out it was normal evaporation for how hot it's been, saved me from chasing a problem that didn't exist."

"They found a crack near our skimmer using dye testing that I never would have noticed on my own."

Sarah T.Pool Owner, Henderson
✓ Verified★★★★★
"Our water bill kept climbing alongside the pool level dropping. They traced it to a plumbing line under the deck without draining the whole pool."
MR
Mike R.Homeowner, Spring Valley
✓ VerifiedNormal evaporation in Las Vegas's climate typically accounts for around a quarter inch of water loss per day, though this varies with weather. Loss beyond that range is worth having tested.
A simple homeowner method comparing water loss inside a floating bucket against the pool's actual water level over 24 hours, helping distinguish evaporation from a genuine leak before calling a professional.
Costs depend on how extensive the testing needs to be, from a basic evaporation comparison to full pressure testing of underground lines. We provide an estimate based on what you're experiencing.
Many leaks, particularly plumbing line leaks, can be repaired without fully draining the pool. Structural repairs to the shell sometimes require partial draining depending on the leak's location.
