Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?

In Austin's summer heat, pools can lose up to a quarter-inch per day to evaporation alone. The simplest test is the bucket method: fill a bucket to match your pool level, set it on the step, and compare levels after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

Can you find leaks without digging up my yard?

Yes. We use pressure testing, dye injection, and electronic listening to pinpoint leaks before any excavation. In most cases we can identify the exact location without touching your deck or landscaping. Digging only happens at the confirmed leak point.

How long does a leak detection visit take?

A typical leak search takes two to four hours, depending on pool size and plumbing complexity. We aim to identify the source in a single visit so you can make a repair decision right away.

Do you service Anderson Mill Estates (78750)?

Yes. Anderson Mill and Anderson Mill Estates have been part of our established weekly route since 2000. We cover Anderson Mill proper, Anderson Mill Estates, and the surrounding 78750 subdivisions including Balcones Woods.

My family uses our Anderson Mill pool heavily in summer — can you handle high bather load?

Yes, and we adjust for it. High-use family pools consume chlorine and alkalinity faster than lightly-used pools, especially in Austin summer heat. Our weekly service for family-heavy pools tests more aggressively and adjusts sanitation to stay ahead of bather load, not just chase it. We'll also flag if your filter or pump is undersized for the actual usage you have.

How does the Bull Creek greenbelt affect pools in Anderson Mill?

The greenbelt drops a heavier-than-average cedar and oak pollen load onto Anderson Mill pools, particularly in December–February and then again in April–May. We increase filter monitoring through those seasons and run phosphate control chemistry to keep decaying pollen from feeding algae blooms. The closer your pool is to the greenbelt edge, the more attention this gets on weekly visits.
