Pool Leak Detection for Garland
Find the source before water loss becomes a bigger problem
Garland pools along the Club Hill fairways and in Camelot were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the Firewheel pools in the 1990s, all on blackland clay that swells every wet spring and shrinks every August and has worked on every skimmer joint and return fitting for decades. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On a Club Hill or Camelot pool we go to the skimmer throat and the light niche first, because clay has had sixty years to work on them; on a Firewheel pool it is the return fittings that thirty dry summers have pulled, and the pressure test says which theory the dye should confirm.
Leak clues in a Garland pool
From the leak crew
A level that stops at the light, a skimmer that gulps air once the level falls an inch, a deck joint that opened after a dry summer, a return that lost flow on one side, or a patch of lawn that stays soggy after everything else drained are the signs worth a call. Clay holds the water long enough to show a soft spot sometimes, and hides it the rest of the time.
Skimmer throats, light niches, and main drain lines on the older pools, and return fittings on the Firewheel pools, are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Garland 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?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Garland peaks around half an inch a day in a dry, windy heat wave and drops to almost nothing in humid weather, so an inch a day, every day, means water is leaving through the plumbing or the shell, whatever hard water, spring pollen, and July heat are doing. The clue is where the level stops: at the skimmer, the skimmer or a return is the suspect; below the lights, look at the light niche or the main drain line; all the way down, the shell has a crack, and 972-953-6261 gets the test scheduled. Our Garland 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 Garland 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. In Garland the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat in mind.
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 Garland 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. In Garland the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 972-953-6261 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Garland?
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 Garland 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 Garland 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.
Is it a leak or evaporation in Texas weather?
Evaporation depends on the weather, meaning hard water, spring pollen, and July heat; a leak does not. In Garland the same conditions can push evaporation to about half an inch a day at the worst, and it slows in humid or cool weather, while a leak loses the same amount every day. If the loss is steady through a rainy week or a cool one, it is a leak, and the bucket test settles it in a day, the first step in every one of the 41 cities we serve.
