How Much Does It Cost to Find an Underground Pool Pipe Leak?

Underground Pipe Location Is Part of the Evaluation

Finding a leak in an underground pool pipe is a two-step process. The first step is confirming there is a break - done through pipe testing of the plumbing lines. The second step is locating exactly where the break is - done through acoustic listening with a ground microphone along the deck surface.

Both steps are included in the standard evaluation price. We do not charge separately for the location work on a residential pool once a break is confirmed.

When acoustic methods clearly identify the break location, that is the result - a marked area of the deck that your repair contractor can excavate with precision. When acoustic listening needs additional support, we have a full trace gas system available - one of the only companies in South Florida with this capability. Other leak detection companies in the region call us to use ours.

The only situations where additional pricing may apply are those involving genuinely unusual scope - such as tracking a very long commercial underground main that requires multiple technicians and extended time, or situations where accessing a line requires cutting into the pipe itself. In those cases, the additional scope is discussed with you before we proceed.
