A note on these photos
Every image in this gallery is from an actual Advanced Leak Detection East Coast job. Client identifying details — addresses, house numbers, visible landscaping — are redacted or cropped out per our standard confidentiality practice, but the pool work itself is documented exactly as performed.
Photos are organized by leak type below. Use the filter bar to jump to a specific category or browse all.
Please note: this gallery focuses on our major detection and repair projects. Minor, on-the-spot repairs aren't documented in the same detail, so what you see here represents a selection of our more significant completed work.
Pipe Breaks.
Electronic listening pinpoints underground leaks to within inches — so we can do targeted excavation instead of full re-routes. These photos show the difference.

Before
AfterShell cracks.
Vertical wall cracks, horizontal bond beam cracks, cove cracks - we've repaired them all. Take a look at some of our work over the years.
(Note: Tile and plaster patches will always look different cosmetically due to age, discoloration, and product discontinuation. We do our best to match your existing pool, but a seamless result sometimes isn't possible without a full renovation.)
Tile-line separations. (Bond beam cracks)
Tile and bond beam leaks, typically caused by structural cracking and waterproofing failures.

6Equipment pad.
Leaking pumps, cracked unions, and failed valves — equipment-related leaks pinpointed.
Skimmers.
One of the most common leak areas we see. The skimmer is unique because it packs a little of every part of a pool's construction into a single feature, giving it several places to fail: the throat's waterproofing can break down (grout failure or plaster delamination), the body itself can grow brittle and crack with age or stress, and the plumbing beneath it can give out. It's also caught between two worlds — partly attached to the pool and partly set into the deck — so it's vulnerable not only to pool-related stress and failures, but to deck settling as well.

8Lights.
Pool and spa light niches and their conduit runs. Cracked plastic niches and broken conduit pipes are another common leak area.
Main Drains.
Main drain pots and sumps, mud ring and collar seam leaks, hydrostatic valve and plug leaks, and of course, pipe breaks. We pinpoint these and typically repair them without ever draining the pool.

4Waterfalls.
Sheer descents and other waterfall fixtures are a beautiful addition to any pool — but when one develops a leak, it can quietly drain the pool day after day. We deploy proprietary testing techniques to pinpoint the failing fixture, then offer a full spectrum of repairs to get the leak resolved for good.
