Pool Leak Detection in Sandy Springs, GA
If you’re refilling your pool more often than usual, it’s not always “just evaporation.” In Sandy Springs, GA, steady water loss can come from plumbing lines, skimmers, fittings, lights, or small structural leak points that are easy to miss without the right tools. Level Up Leak Detection provides non-invasive pool leak detection that pinpoints the source of the problem so you can stop guessing and move straight to the right fix.
“Leak or Evaporation?” Quick Check
Warm days and sun can increase evaporation, but these are strong leak indicators:
- Water loss stays consistent day after day (even when weather cools off)
- Air in the pump (pump basket not staying full, losing prime)
- Bubbles coming from return jets
- Wet/soft areas near the pool, deck edges, or equipment pad
- Chemical balance feels harder to maintain than normal
If you want a fast at-home test, try the bucket test overnight then call us if your pool drops more than the bucket.
Signs You May Need Pool Leak Detection in Sandy Springs
Homeowners typically reach out after noticing:
- Water level dropping faster than normal
- Air getting into the system / pressure changes
- Wet spots near plumbing runs or around the equipment area
- Cracks/gaps near the tile line, skimmer, lights, or returns
- Constant refills leading to rising water and chemical costs
Our Leak Detection Process in Sandy Springs
We use a step-by-step method designed to be accurate and low-impact:
1) Walkthrough inspection
We check common leak points at the pool shell, tile line, skimmer(s), lights, returns, and the equipment pad.
2) Line isolation + pressure testing
When needed, we test individual plumbing lines to confirm whether the leak is underground and which line is affected.
3) Acoustic pinpointing (professional listening tools)
If a plumbing leak is suspected, we can often narrow down the leak area beneath decking or soil using acoustic tools without unnecessary demolition.
4) Dye testing for small structural leak points
For subtle leak areas around penetrations and cracks, dye testing helps confirm water movement.
5) Clear findings + next steps
You’ll get a straightforward summary of what we found and what to do next so repairs are targeted.
Where Pool Leaks Commonly Hide
Leaks aren’t always obvious. We often find issues in:
- Skimmer throats and skimmer lines
- Return lines and fittings
- Light niches and conduit paths
- Main drain / suction-side plumbing (when applicable)
- Valves, unions, and connections at the equipment pad
- Small structural cracks near steps, benches, and penetrations
Sandy Springs Notes
Sandy Springs pools often sit near mature landscaping and hardscape (decks, pavers, retaining edges), so symptoms can show up as subtle wet areas, shifting soil, or recurring air in the system. Our goal is to locate the leak accurately so you’re not tearing up the wrong area.

Sandy Springs Pool Leak Detection FAQs
How long does leak detection usually take?
Most leak detection visits take about 1–2 hours depending on pool size, access, and the testing needed.
Can you find leaks without tearing up my deck?
Often, yes. Pressure testing and acoustic pinpointing can narrow the problem area without unnecessary removal of hardscape.
What if my pool only loses water when the pump is running?
That can indicate a plumbing-side issue, such as a return line leak or a fitting problem. Testing helps confirm it.
What happens after you locate the leak?
We explain the source, how urgent it is, and the best repair approach—so the next step is targeted and efficient.
