Pool Leak Detection for Farmers Branch
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Farmers Branch pools have been sitting on shrinking and swelling clay since the 1950s, and the skimmer joints, light niches, and original plumbing under Brookhaven and Valwood Park have moved with it every dry summer for sixty years. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Pools this old have usually been replumbed in pieces by several owners, so we map what is actually under the deck before pressure testing, test the oldest run first, and photograph the dye result before proposing a repair.
How a Farmers Branch pool shows a leak
From the leak crew
A skimmer that gulps air when the level drops an inch, a level that stops at the light, a deck joint that opened after a dry summer, a return that lost flow on one side, or a water bill that jumped in July are the signs worth a call. Clay has had sixty years to pull on the skimmer throat under a Brookhaven deck.
Skimmer throats, light niches, main drain lines, and return lines lifted by pecan roots are the usual sources on Farmers Branch pools, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Farmers Branch Pool Owners Ask
How do I know it is a leak and not the weather?
Put a bucket of pool water on the step for a day and mark both levels. If the pool drops faster than the bucket, that difference is the leak. In North Texas I also ask when the yard last moved, because clay soil pulls skimmers away from the shell in a dry August.
Answered by a Blue Science leak technician, DFW MetroplexWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
Three things drop a pool an inch a day, and only one of them is normal. Evaporation on the hottest Farmers Branch days can take up to half an inch, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat permitting; splash-out and backwashing take a little more on a busy weekend; everything past that is a leak. Pressure-side leaks show up as a wet spot or a pump that spits air, suction-side leaks as air in the pump basket, and shell leaks as a level that stops dropping at the same spot every time, which our leak detection visit sorts out with pressure tests and dye in any of the 41 cities we cover. Our Farmers Branch leak detection visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat in mind, and repairs are quoted separately once the source is found.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
You narrow it, we confirm it. The bucket test proves it is a leak; the stopping point of the water level narrows it to the skimmer, a return, the light, or the shell; and the pressure test on each line, with dye at the fittings, pins it down, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat or not. On a Farmers Branch pool that is usually a plumbing joint under the deck rather than a crack, and the visit ends with a written report of the source, the same report we write in all 41 cities. The 30-day detection warranty applies in Farmers Branch when Blue Science makes the repair, across all 41 cities we serve.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
Compare the pool to a bucket. Fill a bucket to the pool level on the top step, mark both, run the pool normally for a day with the autofill off, and read the difference: evaporation moves both lines, a leak moves only the pool, whatever hard water, spring pollen, and July heat are doing. If a Farmers Branch pool loses more than the bucket, the next step is pressure testing the lines and dye testing the fittings to find where, the same steps in all 41 cities we serve. The bucket test is also how our Farmers Branch technicians check the repair afterward, against hard water, spring pollen, and July heat.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Farmers Branch?
Fittings and plumbing under the deck, worked loose by hard water, spring pollen, and July heat. Skimmer throats separate, return lines crack where the deck settles, and light conduit corrodes in wet ground; in a Farmers Branch pool, under hard water, spring pollen, and July heat, all three are more common than a crack in the shell. Because they hide under the deck, the search runs under pressure, line by line, rather than by eye, which is what the team at 972-953-6261 is set up for. In Farmers Branch a leak found at a fitting is usually a small repair; one under the deck is scoped in writing before any cutting, in all 41 cities.
Does a leaking pool get worse if I wait?
Yes, in three ways, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat speed all three. Every day the autofill covers the loss you pay for water and for the chemicals that leave with it; water leaving under the deck washes out the fill and settles the deck, which opens more joints; and a pool that drops below the skimmer lets the pump suck air and run dry, which turns a leak call into a repair call. In Farmers Branch the leak that started in spring is a bigger job by fall, which is why 972-953-6261 is worth a call early.
