Atlantis is a small, tight-knit city built around its namesake golf course, with pools that tend to be older and well maintained but not always recently re-plumbed. If your Atlantis pool is losing more water than evaporation accounts for, Leak and Subsurface Locators provides the full diagnostic process needed to find the source, and to catch it again if it comes back. Most estimates are handled over the phone with the price given upfront.
Pool Leak Detection Services in Atlantis
Acoustic Listening
Hydrophone inspection of every pool fitting, plus ground microphone listening along underground plumbing paths.
Water Pressure Testing
Each plumbing line isolated and tested individually through a custom-built manifold, with multiple verified runs.
Dye Testing
Visual confirmation at skimmers, returns, light niches, and any suspected crack in the pool shell.
Pipe Locating
Electronic mapping of underground plumbing paths before any acoustic or excavation work begins.
Trace Gas (When Needed)
Specialized hydrogen-nitrogen or helium gas detection for breaks that acoustic methods cannot pinpoint.
Written Documentation
Every visit produces a written report and photo documentation of all findings.
When a Skimmer Leak Comes Back
A job we ran in Atlantis is a useful case study in why we document everything and why a temporary patch is called temporary. On the first visit, a dye inspection of the skimmer housing found a leak at the door mounting screw holes. The holes were patched on site, with a note in the report that if the leak continued, the skimmer itself would need to be replaced rather than patched again. The same visit also flagged water sitting in the pool light lens, a separate safety item unrelated to the water loss.
A little over a month later, we were back at the same address. This time the dye test confirmed an active leak at the skimmer opening itself, not the screw holes from before. It was sealed with an epoxy patch the same day. Two visits, two different failure points on the same skimmer assembly, which is exactly the pattern that points toward replacing the unit rather than continuing to chase individual leaks around it.
Epoxy is a legitimate way to stop a confirmed leak the same day it's found, but it is a temporary measure, not a repair, and it's limited to a few ounces per pool under our own working standard. When the same fixture keeps producing new leak points, that's the report telling you it's time for a real fix instead of another patch.

What a Visit Costs
Most Atlantis estimates are handled on the phone. Describe what the pool is doing, how much water it is losing, and roughly how old it is, and you will get a price upfront rather than a technician dispatched to your driveway to quote you in person.
Some work genuinely does require a site visit before a price can be given. Underground pipe repair is the common one, because what is over the pipe changes the job completely and a photo rarely tells the whole story. Concrete, pavers, multiple patios stacked over each other, pipes below the water table, stacked runs, mature root systems, and nearby electrical all change the scope. Skimmer replacement and equipment installation are the same. In those cases the visit is scheduled and explained first.
Before You Call: Run the Bucket Test
A 24-hour bucket test tells you whether your pool is losing water beyond normal evaporation, and it costs you nothing but a day. The guide below walks through it step by step, and the calculator compares your loss against an expected baseline.

Most estimates for Atlantis pools are given over the phone with the price stated upfront before anything is scheduled. Some work, particularly underground pipe repair and equipment installation, requires a site visit before an accurate price can be given, because what sits over the pipe determines the scope.
Yes, and we saw exactly that in Atlantis. A skimmer housing was found leaking at its door mounting screw holes and patched. A little over a month later, a return visit found an active leak had developed at the skimmer opening itself and it was patched with epoxy again. Epoxy is a temporary seal, not a permanent fix, which is why a skimmer that keeps failing eventually needs to be replaced rather than patched indefinitely.
Scheduling for Atlantis depends on the week and on where the route runs. Call Sandra Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, to check current availability and confirm a visit time.
