Leak Detection in Four Points, TX
Four Points sits at the 2222 and 620 crossroads, and the pools spread across Grandview Hills, Jester Estates, Canyon Creek, and Jollyville span a wide range of ages — which is exactly why leaks here take a tailored approach. The 1990s-era gunite pools in the older subdivisions often have aging plaster and original copper plumbing that corrodes and splits at the joints, while newer builds leak more often at feature returns and equipment-pad fittings. The Pool Police confirms loss with a bucket test first, especially since the heavy bather loads in these family neighborhoods can look like a leak when it's really splash-out. Then we pressure-test the supply and return lines, dye-test shell cracks and fittings, and run electronic listening on buried lines across the 78726 and 78750 lots. We check the equipment pad closely too, since the area's mix of Austin Water and MUD-district supply means corrosion patterns vary from one street to the next. Keith Mallette has found hundreds of leaks since 2000 and delivers a written report with the location, severity, and the most cost-effective repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm in Jester Estates — are you on a route near me?
Yes. We have an established route through Jester Estates, Grandview Hills, Canyon Creek, and Jollyville within the 78726 and 78750 zip codes. Service days are typically consistent week over week so you know when to expect us.
My neighborhood has a mix of old and new pools — does that matter?
It does. Older pools in Canyon Creek may have aging plaster, original copper plumbing, and equipment that needs careful monitoring. Newer builds in Grandview Hills often have salt systems and automation that need different attention. We tailor service to the individual pool, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
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.
