Bouldin Creek's Award-Winning Pool Leak Detection Company

Bouldin Creek has transformed dramatically over the past 20 years. Once a quiet, working-class neighborhood south of downtown, it now sits in the heart of what makes 78704 desirable. Original 1940s and 1950s bungalows have been renovated, expanded, and replaced. Pool installations have followed the same trajectory, with original mid-century pools sitting next to brand-new construction in renovated backyards.

For us, that transformation means two very different types of pool diagnostic work happen in the same neighborhood.

The Two Bouldin Creek Pool Worlds

Original-era pools (pre-1980s)

In homes that have not been gut-renovated, original pools from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s still exist. Cast iron plumbing fittings. Early PVC. Plaster shells resurfaced once or twice but the underlying structure is original. Equipment replaced multiple times while underground infrastructure stayed in the ground.

These pools fail in predictable ways:

• Underground plumbing joints loose from clay cycling
• Original drain bodies cracked from thermal expansion
• Bond beam separation from cumulative shrink-swell
• Skimmer throats failing after decades of use
• Equipment connections finally giving out

Renovation-era and new construction pools (2010s-2020s)

The wave of renovation that swept through Bouldin Creek brought new pools to backyards where original installations had been demolished or where there was never a pool before. These are typically modern fiberglass or contemporary gunite installations with current plumbing materials and equipment.

These pools fail differently:

• Initial settling-related joint issues
• Build quality variations between different contractors working the gentrification boom
• Early equipment wear from heavy use in fully renovated entertaining spaces
• Surface and tile work showing premature deterioration in some cases

Why Diagnostic Precision Matters Here

Bouldin Creek lots are valuable. Tearing up a backyard for exploratory excavation is genuinely expensive in terms of landscape, hardscape, and property value. Finding the exact leak location first makes everything cheaper and faster.

Our LeakTronics process is non-invasive throughout. Pool stays full. Two to three hours on site. 24-hour documented report.

What Most Bouldin Creek Calls Are About

A homeowner who has owned the property for 5 to 15 years (often through a renovation or after buying a renovated home) is now seeing signs of water loss they cannot explain. They want a professional opinion on whether the pool is leaking and where.

We give them that opinion, documented with photos and repair cost estimates, within 24 hours.
