Pool Leak Detection for Las Colinas
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Las Colinas problem
Las Colinas estate pools run spas, spillovers, and feature lines on pads a long way from the shell, and forty years of clay swelling and shrinking under Cottonwood Valley and Hackberry Creek has worked on every one of those lines, so a leak has several places to hide and the ground never shows where the water went. If the level keeps dropping after the bucket test, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On a Las Colinas pool we isolate the spa, the features, and each return loop and pressure test them one at a time, because a spillover that drains overnight looks exactly like a pool leak until the lines are separated, and on a 1980s pad the oldest loop gets tested first.
Leak clues in a Las Colinas pool
From the leak crew
A spa that drops to the spillover overnight, a feature pump that keeps catching air, a level that falls faster with the returns on, a deck joint that opened after a dry summer, or a level that stops right at the light are the clues worth a call. Clay holds the water long enough to show a soft spot sometimes, and hides it the rest of the time.
Spa check valves, feature lines, skimmer throats and light niches on the 1980s pools, and return fittings on long runs are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Las Colinas 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 something is leaking. A Las Colinas pool loses water to evaporation, splash-out, and backwashing, but even hard water, spring pollen, and July heat cannot evaporate an inch every day. The fastest check is the bucket test: match a bucket on the step to the pool level, turn the autofill off, and compare after a day; the bucket shows the evaporation, the gap is the leak, and its size tells us whether to look first at a fitting, a line, or the shell, as it does across all 41 cities. Detection is warranted for 30 days in Las Colinas when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 41 cities we serve.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
Start at the equipment pad, because a dripping pump seal, a weeping filter tank, or a loose union is a repair rather than a leak, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat produce plenty of those. If the pad is dry, run the bucket test for 24 hours with the autofill off, then watch where the level stops: at the skimmer mouth points to the skimmer or a return line, below the light points to the niche or the main drain line, and a level that keeps falling points to the shell; in Las Colinas our leak detection visit confirms it with pressure testing on the lines and dye at every fitting, as in all 41 cities we serve. The 30-day detection warranty applies in Las Colinas when Blue Science makes the repair, across all 41 cities we serve.
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 Las Colinas, 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. Turn the autofill off first in Las Colinas, or the test measures nothing, whatever hard water, spring pollen, and July heat do.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Las Colinas?
Plumbing and fittings, not the shell. Skimmer throats pull loose where the deck and the pool move differently, return lines crack where a deck has settled, and light niches and conduit corrode in wet ground; in Las Colinas, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat speed up all three. Shell cracks are rarer and easier to see; the plumbing leaks hide under the deck, which is why the search starts under pressure rather than with a flashlight, in all 41 cities we serve. The repair is quoted separately in Las Colinas, and the 30-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 972-953-6261 explains both.
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 Las Colinas 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.
