East Meadow Leak Detection — FAQs

How much water loss is “normal” in East Meadow before I should call?
In warm, windy stretches, some evaporation is normal — but if you’re consistently losing more than about ¼–½ inch per day, topping off often, or seeing wet spots, air bubbles, or weaker returns, it’s smart to schedule a leak test.
What’s the first step when you arrive for leak detection?
We start by confirming whether the loss is likely a leak vs. evaporation. Then we isolate systems (skimmer, returns, main drain, features) and choose the fastest path to a pinpoint using pressure testing, dye, and/or acoustic listening.
Do you test the equipment pad too?
Yes. We inspect the pump, filter, valves, unions, heater connections (if present), and visible plumbing. A surprising number of “mystery leaks” are pad-side drips that only show when the system is running.
Can you find underground leaks without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Pressure testing and acoustic listening can narrow the leak to a specific line and a tight zone. If excavation is needed, we mark the suspected area so digging is as small and targeted as possible.
Will you repair the leak the same day?
If it’s a simple fitting/union/valve issue or minor patch, sometimes we can handle it right away. Underground breaks or structural leaks are quoted separately and scheduled quickly once we confirm the source.
What should I do before your technician arrives?
If possible, don’t top off the pool the morning of service. Make sure we have gate access and equipment-pad access, and note your current waterline level. A quick photo of the waterline and pad helps too.
How much does leak detection cost in East Meadow?
Leak detection in East Meadow starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs, parts, or advanced remediation are quoted separately after we identify the exact source.
