Rockville Centre Leak Detection — FAQs

How do I know if I have a leak or just evaporation?
If your Rockville Centre pool is losing more than about ¼–½ inch per day consistently, needs frequent top-offs, you’re seeing air in the system, or you notice wet spots near the pool/equipment pad, it’s worth testing. We start by ruling out evaporation, then isolate plumbing lines.
What do you need from me on the day of testing?
We need gate/yard access, access to the equipment pad, and any notes on when you first noticed water loss (after storms, vacuuming, heater use, etc.). If you’re not home, we can text updates with photos/video of findings.
What tests are included in leak detection?
Typically: pressure testing, dye tracing, acoustic (sonic) listening, equipment-pad inspection, and line isolation (skimmer/returns/main drain) to pinpoint the most likely source quickly and accurately.
Can you test pools with heaters, spas, or water features?
Yes. We can isolate feature loops and test auxiliary lines/valves to confirm whether the loss is coming from a feature line, the main circulation plumbing, or a fitting/union at the pad.
Will you fix it the same day?
If it’s a straightforward fitting/union/valve issue or a small patch, sometimes yes. Underground or structural repairs are quoted separately and scheduled quickly once the source is confirmed.
How much does leak detection cost in Rockville Centre?
Leak detection in Rockville Centre starts at $385 + tax for standard residential testing. Repairs and parts are quoted separately after we confirm the source.
What should I do before you arrive?
If possible, don’t add water the morning of so we can measure conditions accurately. Note your current waterline and take a quick photo of the waterline and equipment pad. Keep the pump accessible in case we need it running for isolation tests.
