Los Angeles County · Detection
Find pool shell, plumbing, and equipment leaks before water loss becomes structural damage.
When Ethan F. in Los Altos, Long Beach called about a consistent need to add water beyond typical seasonal loss, a technician got out the same week. Pools in Long Beach's Bixby Knolls and Los Altos neighborhoods tend to be older backyard installations from the city's mid-century suburban growth, and the same coastal air affecting home plumbing also accelerates wear on pool equipment near the water. The technician's on-site explanation meant there were no surprises once the repair crew arrived.
— Ethan F., Los Altos, Long Beach
Pools in Long Beach's Bixby Knolls and Los Altos neighborhoods tend to be older backyard installations from the city's mid-century suburban growth, and the same coastal air affecting home plumbing also accelerates wear on pool equipment near the water.
Water service in Long Beach is provided by the Long Beach Water Department, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
With California's climate, pools and spas run for most of the year, which means even a small leak adds up fast in lost water and can eventually undermine the surrounding decking or yard. We test pool shells, skimmers, return lines, main drains, and equipment pad plumbing to determine whether water loss is from evaporation or an actual leak, and if it's a leak, exactly where.
We use a bucket test to separate evaporation from true leaks, dye testing to check skimmers and fittings, and pressure testing on plumbing lines. For suspected shell leaks, a dive inspection can visually confirm the leak point.

A technician arrives with acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure or camera tools matched to your specific leak type.
The leak's exact location is marked and explained to you in plain terms, so nothing gets opened up on a guess.
You receive a written diagnostic report you can hand to your plumber, restoration team, or insurance company, with repair or fix options discussed on the spot.
“Being this close to the water, I figured corrosion was the culprit and I was right. They found the exact fitting near the meter box that had failed. Fast and professional.”
“Our multi-family building had a mystery water bill spike. They tested each unit's supply line and found the issue in about two hours total across the building. Very organized process.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
