Testing Tuned to Massapequa Homes
In Massapequa, coastal humidity, wind events, and temperature swings can stress plumbing joints, skimmer throats, and older return fittings —
and small leaks often show up first at unions, valves, pump lids, and equipment-pad connections. We sequence tests to rule out evaporation,
then isolate skimmer lines, returns, main drains, and equipment pads.
From neighborhoods near Sunrise Highway (NY-27) and Merrick Road to blocks closer to local waterways and park-lined streets,
we adapt methods to your pool’s surface, age, and seasonal soil movement for accurate results.

Massapequa Leak Detection — FAQs
How do I know it’s a leak and not evaporation?
South Shore wind and heat can cause evaporation — but if you’re consistently losing more than about ¼–½ inch per day,
or the loss pattern is accelerating, it’s time to test. We also look for wet spots, air entering the system, and drops that don’t match normal evaporation.
How long does a leak detection visit take in Massapequa?
Most visits run 60–120 minutes depending on pool size, number of lines/features (spa, waterfall, heater), and how many systems we need to isolate.
What methods do you use to pinpoint the leak?
We typically combine pressure testing and line isolation for plumbing, dye testing for fittings/shell entry points,
and acoustic listening to localize underground leaks when applicable.
Can you locate an underground leak without digging everything up?
Often, yes. Acoustic listening and isolation can narrow the suspected area. If excavation is needed, we aim to keep it targeted and clearly marked.
Do I need to be home during the appointment?
Not necessarily. As long as we have yard access and access to the equipment pad, we can complete testing and send a written summary
with photos/video of findings and next steps.
What does leak detection cost in Massapequa?
Leak detection in Massapequa starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs and parts are quoted separately
once the source is confirmed.
Can you test saltwater pools too?
Yes. We inspect salt-system plumbing and unions, check the equipment pad for seepage, and test suction/return lines the same way as non-salt pools.
