Pool Leak Detection for Highland Park
Find the source before water loss becomes a bigger problem
Highland Park pools have some of the oldest plumbing in the region, buried under mature gardens whose roots have had decades to find it, on clay that moves every season. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Under an established Highland Park garden the surface tells you nothing, and nobody wants a trench through it. We rely on pressure and dye testing to pinpoint the source, so the repair disturbs as little of the yard as possible.
Leak clues in a Highland Park pool
From the leak crew
Air in the pump basket, a level that drops faster with the pump running, a deck or flagstone that has lifted at a joint, a bed that stays wet, or a jump in the water bill are the signs worth a call. Roots along Beverly Drive and Lakeside Park open fittings and skimmer throats without any surface sign, and the bucket test below separates evaporation from a real leak in a day.
Old light niches, skimmer throats, and main drain lines are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Highland Park 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 Highland Park 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. Detection is warranted for 30 days in Highland Park when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 41 cities we serve.
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 Highland Park 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. Detection and repair are quoted separately in Highland Park, so you approve a defined fix; 972-953-6261 schedules both.
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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park technicians check the repair afterward, against hard water, spring pollen, and July heat.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Highland Park?
The skimmer, first and by a wide margin. The throat where the skimmer meets the shell moves every time the deck and the pool move differently, and in Highland Park, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat keep them moving. Return fittings and light niches come next, then underground lines where a deck has settled, and shell cracks last; each shows a different pattern in the water level, and the dye test confirms it in minutes, as it has across 41 cities. Our Highland Park detection visit tests the skimmer and returns first because that is where the odds are, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat considered.
Will my autofill hide a leak?
Completely, until the water bill arrives, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat hide it further. An autofill replaces what the pool loses, so the level never moves and the only symptoms are a higher bill, chemistry that will not hold, and sometimes a damp patch in the Highland Park yard. Turn the autofill off before the bucket test and leave it off for the 24 hours, or the test measures nothing; 972-953-6261 can walk you through it.
