Shell, plumbing line, and equipment pad repairs once the leak point is confirmed.
The Rundle Family, a Eagle Rock, Los Angeles homeowner, had been living with a water bill that had crept up for two billing cycles with no clear reason for weeks before calling us. Repairing a pool leak in an LA backyard usually means working around decades-old plaster and equipment that wasn't installed with today's materials or fittings, especially in the older estate neighborhoods in the hills and in Valley communities like Encino and Tarzana. A shell crack or failed niche seal on a pool that old is still typically a localized, in-place repair, but we'll flag it clearly if the surrounding plaster or plumbing is showing broader wear that makes a repeat leak likely within a year or two, so you can decide whether a bigger refresh makes sense while the equipment's already accessible. The water bill stopped climbing the same week the leak was found and fixed.

Repairing a pool leak in an LA backyard usually means working around decades-old plaster and equipment that wasn't installed with today's materials or fittings, especially in the older estate neighborhoods in the hills and in Valley communities like Encino and Tarzana. A shell crack or failed niche seal on a pool that old is still typically a localized, in-place repair, but we'll flag it clearly if the surrounding plaster or plumbing is showing broader wear that makes a repeat leak likely within a year or two, so you can decide whether a bigger refresh makes sense while the equipment's already accessible.
Water service in Los Angeles is provided by LADWP, 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.
Pool and spa repairs follow directly from where the leak was found. A shell crack or a failed light niche seal is typically repaired in place, often with the pool partially drained to the repair point. A plumbing line leak found through pressure testing may call for a section replacement or, in some cases, an abandon-and-reroute approach similar to a slab leak repair. Equipment pad leaks at pumps, filters, or heaters are usually a more straightforward seal or fitting replacement.
Because pressure testing and dye testing already identify which line or fitting is responsible, repair work targets that specific point rather than reworking the whole system. We'll walk you through whether a repair or a longer-term fix makes more sense if the pool's plumbing is older and showing multiple points of wear.

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.
“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.”
“Called about a gas smell near our meter and they were incredibly clear about safety steps over the phone before even arriving. Found the leak point and coordinated next steps with the utility.”
“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.”
“Good experience overall, technician was knowledgeable and thorough. Took a little longer than expected but they were clearly being careful about pinpointing the exact spot before marking it.”
