Leak Detection in Bee Cave, TX
Leak detection on a Bee Cave pool is rarely a simple job, because the pools here rarely are. Spanish Oaks, Falconhead, and The Hills are full of resort-style builds — vanishing edges, integrated spas, and complex water features — and every one of those adds plumbing runs, catch basins, and auto-fill systems that can leak in ways a standard rectangle never will. A vanishing-edge weir or a feature spillway can lose hundreds of gallons before anyone realizes the auto-fill is just quietly masking it. The Pool Police starts with a bucket test to separate true loss from the higher evaporation that comes with Hill Country wind exposure, then pressure-tests each plumbing zone separately to isolate which line on a multi-feature build is failing. We dye-test the feature returns, catch basin, and tile joints, listen electronically under elevated decks, and inspect every union and seal on what's often a crowded equipment pad. Keith Mallette has tracked down hundreds of leaks across the hill country since 2000, and on these premium finishes we work carefully and report exactly where the problem is before anyone picks up a shovel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have experience with infinity-edge and vanishing-edge pools?
Yes. Vanishing-edge pools require careful attention to the catch basin, auto-fill system, and chemical balance across two bodies of water. We service several infinity-edge pools in Spanish Oaks and Falconhead and understand the additional maintenance they demand.
Can you maintain my pool's pebble or glass tile finish?
Absolutely. Premium finishes like PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, and glass mosaic tile require pH-aware brushing techniques and chemical balance that prevents etching or calcium haze. Our cleaning approach is calibrated to protect these surfaces, not just scrub them.
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.
