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 specialize in luxury pools with vanishing edges and premium finishes?
Yes. Rough Hollow and the broader Lake Travis luxury market is where we've built the most experience with vanishing-edge catch basins, integrated spa circulation, PebbleTec and glass tile care, and multi-zone automation systems. These pools require meaningfully different cleaning techniques than a standard plaster rectangle, and our weekly service protocol accounts for every difference.
What's the calcium hardness in Rough Hollow well water?
Rough Hollow well-water properties commonly test calcium hardness in the 450–600+ ppm range, among the highest in the Austin metro. Without active management, that calcium precipitates as white scale on tile, inside heaters, on salt cells, and on vanishing-edge weirs. Our weekly service uses sequestrant chemistry and precise pH control to keep calcium in solution rather than letting it deposit.
Can you work around elevated decks and cliff-side equipment pads?
Yes. Many Rough Hollow pools sit on steep hillside or cliffside lots with equipment tucked into tight elevated pads. Our techs carry tools in rather than rolling carts and are used to working in these constrained spaces. We'll coordinate access with you and any gate systems before starting service.
