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 the Lost Creek community (78735)?

Yes. The Pool Police runs an established weekly route through Lost Creek, covering the full community from the older flat-lot streets near the golf course to the newer hillside builds on the canyon edges. We've serviced pools here since 2000.

My Lost Creek pool has an integrated spa and water feature — can you handle complex pools?

Absolutely. Many Lost Creek pools were built with spas, waterfalls, laminars, and raised beam features that require careful cleaning and chemistry balanced across interconnected water bodies. Our techs are experienced with these multi-body pool systems and understand how water flow, evaporation, and chemical consumption differ from a basic rectangular pool.

How do you handle the Balcones Canyonlands leaf load in Lost Creek?

Lost Creek's canyon-edge lots sit directly under dense oak and cedar canopy. We increase skimmer basket checks, monitor filter pressure more aggressively through fall and cedar season, and run phosphate control chemistry to prevent decaying organics from feeding algae. Hillside lots with elevated decks often benefit from a leaf net during peak drop weeks.
