Expert Pool Leak Detection in Daly City, CA

A leaking pool wastes water and can quietly erode the soil and structure beneath your deck. Hills Pool Service Inc. locates pool leaks in Daly City and across the San Francisco Peninsula using dye testing, pressure testing, and listening equipment. Dye testing identifies cracks at the shell, skimmer, fittings, and light niches. Pressure testing isolates underground plumbing lines to confirm whether buried pipes are holding or losing pressure. Together, these methods pinpoint the source without unnecessary digging. Daly City's coastal soil conditions and older residential pool stock mean leaks can go unnoticed until water bills spike or deck sections begin to shift. Our team has served Bay Area pool owners since 1964, and many of our customers have trusted us for over 30 years. When we find a leak, we document exactly where it is so the right repair gets done the first time. Call us to schedule pool leak detection in Daly City.

Pool Leak Detection FAQ

Common questions about pool leak detection in Daly City, CA.

A bucket test is the clearest first check. Place a filled bucket on your pool step, mark both water levels, and compare them after 24 hours with the auto-fill off. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak and should call a pool service professional in Daly City.

A technician uses dye testing to check the shell, skimmer, fittings, and light niches, and pressure testing to isolate underground plumbing lines. These methods work together to confirm exactly where water is escaping before any repair work begins.

Yes, pressure testing and listening equipment locate most underground plumbing leaks without excavation. Digging is only needed once the exact repair point is confirmed.

Watch for a water level that drops faster than normal evaporation, wet or soft ground around the pool deck, a rising water bill, or needing to add water more often than usual. Any of these signs is a reason to have a professional inspection.

No, most pool leak detection is performed with the pool full. Dye testing and pressure testing both work with water in the pool, and draining is not a standard part of the detection process.

Pool leak repair is a separate service we offer, so once detection confirms the source, the repair process can move forward. Contact our Daly City team to discuss both services.

Excellent pool supplies company and top rated technians that work for Hills Pool Service. Will has helped us out many times and I highly recommend them.

Scott Google review · July 2018

Hills recently completed a BIG job at our house, replacing our old pool plumbing and re-doing our entire patio area with colored stamped concrete. Their team did a GREAT job, busting up the old aggregate and putting down a beautiful new patio. The guys were great, they cleaned up after each workday. I would highly recommend them for patio re-surfacing!
