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 pools in Jollyville (78759)?

Yes. Jollyville has been one of our consistent weekly service areas since 2000. We run an established route through the 78759 zip code covering Jollyville proper, Balcones Village, and the neighborhoods around the Arboretum and Great Hills edge.

My Jollyville pool has original 1980s Jandy equipment — can you still service it?

Yes. We work on original Jandy, Compool, first-generation Pentair, and even some still-running Purex equipment regularly. For parts that are no longer manufactured, we know the modern equivalents that fit without requiring a full equipment-pad rebuild. We'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when a targeted upgrade is the better long-term play.

Is my water from Austin Water or a well?

Depends on the specific street. Jollyville has a mix — most homes are on Austin Water, but some older streets still have well-water properties. We test chemistry on every visit and know which streets have which water source, so our weekly treatment is calibrated to what your specific pool actually contains.
