Is your pool losing water faster than normal evaporation? Are you constantly adding water to maintain proper levels? Echo Leak Detection provides expert pool leak detection services throughout Phoenix, Arizona.

Why Professional Pool Leak Detection Matters
A leaking pool is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a silent drain on your water bill, chemical balance, and equipment efficiency. The average undetected pool leak wastes over 5,000 gallons of water annually, costing Arizona homeowners hundreds of dollars in water and chemical costs. Left undetected, even small leaks can lead to structural damage, soil erosion around your pool deck, and equipment failure that requires costly repairs down the road.
At Echo Leak Detection, we understand that Phoenix homeowners and pool professionals need fast, accurate results. That’s why we typically schedule appointments within 2-3 days and provide detailed, photo-rich reports that document every finding. Whether you’re a residential homeowner dealing with unexplained water loss or a pool company seeking a trusted partner for swimming pool leak detection, we deliver the expertise and transparency you deserve.
Unlike other pool leak detection companies that take 5-7 days to schedule or provide vague verbal reports, we combine rapid response times with comprehensive documentation. You’ll receive clear photos and detailed recommendations—not guesswork.
Common Types of Pool Leaks We Detect
Structural Leaks
Cracks in the pool shell—whether plaster, gunite, or fiberglass—are among the most common leak sources we encounter in Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. These range from hairline surface cracks to more serious structural fractures that require professional pool leak repair. Arizona’s extreme temperature swings and soil movement contribute to structural cracking, making regular pool leak detection important for older pools.
Surface cracks may seem minor but can expand over time, especially during monsoon season when ground saturation changes. Early detection prevents small issues from becoming major structural problems.
Underground Plumbing Leaks
Underground pipes carrying water to and from your pool can develop leaks due to ground movement, root intrusion, poor installation, or material deterioration. Our pool pipe leak repair expertise includes pressure testing every line to locate these hidden problems. Plumbing leaks are particularly challenging because they often show no visible signs until significant damage has occurred.
In East Valley communities, shifting soil conditions and desert landscaping with deep-rooted plants can stress pool plumbing over time. We’ve found leaks in pools as new as three years old and as old as forty years—no pool is immune.
Equipment and Component Leaks
Pump seals, filter housings, heater connections, valve assemblies, and backwash lines can all develop leaks over time. We inspect every component of your circulation system during our swimming pool leak detection process. Equipment leaks are often easier to spot but still require professional diagnosis to determine whether repair or replacement is most cost-effective.
Fitting and Fixture Leaks
Pool lights, return fittings, main drains, skimmers, step gaskets, and ladder sockets are frequent culprits in swimming pool leaks. These components undergo constant pressure and temperature changes, making them vulnerable to seal failures and gasket deterioration. Skimmer leaks are particularly common in Arizona because intense UV exposure degrades plastic components faster than in other climates.
Tile Line and Coping Leaks
The junction where your pool shell meets the deck is a common leak location, especially if coping stones have settled or tile grout has deteriorated. These leaks can be deceptive—water escaping at the tile line often appears as general dampness rather than an obvious flow. Our electronic leak detection equipment excels at finding these subtle but significant leaks.
