Pool Leak Detection for Irving
Find the source before water loss becomes a bigger problem
Irving pools in South Irving and University Hills were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Valley Ranch pools in the 1980s on fill beside the canals, all on 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 South Irving or University Hills pool we map what is actually under the deck before pressure testing, because sixty years of piecemeal replumbing rarely matches the original run; in Valley Ranch it is the skimmer joint on the canal side, where the fill has settled longest, that gets the dye first.
How an Irving pool shows a leak
From the leak crew
A skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch on the older pools, a level that stops at the light, a coping joint that opened on the canal side in Valley Ranch, a return that lost flow on one side, or a water bill that climbed in August 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 1950s and 1960s pools, and skimmer joints on settled canal-side corners in Valley Ranch, are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Irving 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?
Because an inch a day is more than evaporation. Evaporation in Irving runs up to about half an inch a day in the hottest, driest stretches and less most of the year, even with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat, so a pool that drops an inch every day is losing water somewhere: a skimmer throat, a return line, a light niche, a crack, or a fitting under the deck. The bucket test tells them apart in 24 hours, and it is the first thing our team at 972-953-6261 asks whether you have done. Detection is warranted for 30 days in Irving 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 an Irving 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 Irving, so you approve a defined fix; 972-953-6261 schedules both.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
Rule out evaporation first, with a bucket. Mark the pool level and a bucket filled to match, wait a day with the autofill off, and compare; in Irving, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat can push evaporation up, but the bucket shows exactly how much. Anything the pool loses beyond that is a leak, and the detection visit locates it with pressure on each line and dye at each fitting; 972-953-6261 books it. Our Irving visit repeats the bucket test with the pump off and on, which separates plumbing leaks from shell leaks, in all 41 cities.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Irving?
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 Irving, 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 Irving detection visit tests the skimmer and returns first because that is where the odds are, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat considered.
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 Irving 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.
