Pool Leak
Detection & Repair
A pool that's losing water is losing money — and potentially damaging your foundation, soil, and landscaping. Legendary Pools provides professional pool leak detection and repair throughout San Martin and the Bay Area.
Using pressurized pipe testing and dye testing, we find the leak first without unnecessary digging. We find it, we fix it, and we restore your peace of mind.
Is Your Pool
Actually Leaking?
Pools naturally lose water to evaporation — especially in the warm, dry Bay Area summers. Before calling for service, perform the "Bucket Test" to confirm if yours is a leak or just mother nature.
Result: If the pool loses significantly more than the bucket (over 1/4 inch per day difference), you have an active leak.
Where Leaks Happen
Underground Plumbing
Lines crack from soil movement or age.
Gunite Shell Cracks
Structural cracks let water seep through the shell.
Fittings & Returns
Gaskets or thread failures at wall penetration points.
Skimmer Bodies
Plastic bodies crack as they age and settle.
Equipment Pad
Unions, valves, and heater connections.
Spa Jet Plumbing
Higher pressure cycling leads to faster failures.
Why Bay Area
Pools Leak More
The expansive clay soil found throughout Santa Clara County is the primary culprit. Clay absorbs water and expands in winter, then contracts in the dry summer. This seasonal movement stresses underground plumbing and pool shell joints far more than stable sandy soil would. hillsides in Saratoga, Los Gatos, and Woodside are also subject to "soil creep," gradually misaligning plumbing.
