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.

How do you handle cedar pollen season in Steiner Ranch?

Cedar season (December through February) drops a heavy yellow-green pollen load onto pool surfaces. We increase skimming frequency, clean filters more aggressively, and watch phosphate levels closely since pollen is a phosphate source that feeds algae. Customers on our weekly plan get all of this as part of normal service.

Do you service the River Dance section of Steiner Ranch?

Yes. We service all sections of Steiner Ranch including River Dance, Hawks Canyon, Marshalls Ridge, and the surrounding areas within the 78732 zip code.
