Detection and repair are separate services — here's why that protects you. When the fix turns out to be minor, we simply complete it during the same visit.
Answer two quick questions and watch your estimated price update in real time.
Adjust the options on the left to refine the estimate. This reflects typical residential pool leak detection pricing across our Volusia, Flagler, and Brevard service area.
This calculator provides an estimated range for budgeting. Actual pricing depends on specific pool conditions and is always quoted in writing before any work begins. Every job includes our three-tier written warranty.
This isn't a guy with a dye bottle. It's a systematic, whole-system diagnostic performed by a licensed specialist.
Including any prior repair records or existing quotes from other companies.
Equipment pad, deck, surrounding landscape, visible plumbing, and pool structure.
Labeling plumbing runs & valves in acrylic paint marker for longevity.
Each plumbing line isolated and tested individually — suction side (skimmers, main drains, vacuum lines) and return side (jets, floor returns). If a break exists, we pinpoint its location.
Strategic use of leak-detection dye at suspected sources, both above and below water.
We dive in to assess the shell, tile line, skimmer throat, lights, main drains, returns, and plaster from the inside.
Where indicated, for pinpointing underground plumbing failures without excavating.
A documented report identifying the leak source (or confirming no leak), with photographs and either a summary of minor repairs completed, an estimate for major repairs, or recommended next steps.
A typical residential diagnostic takes 1.5–3 hours on site. Commercial diagnostics often take longer.
Detection is finding the leak. Repair is fixing it. Responsible specialists price them separately, and here's why that's in your favor:
Before the leak is found, nobody knows what the repair is. A repair price quoted before diagnosis is either wild guessing or worst-case pricing that assumes the most expensive possible fix. Neither is fair to you.
Some diagnostics conclude that the "leak" is actually normal evaporation, a malfunctioning auto-fill, or heavy splash-out. In those cases the diagnostic fee is your entire cost — no repair needed, and you have a written finding to prove it.
When the leak turns out to be minor, we complete the repair during the same visit — typically just $5–$65 on top of the detection cost. Major repairs are always quoted in writing before any work begins.
A full diagnostic with the specialized equipment and labor described above cannot be profitably performed at these prices. It's either not a full diagnostic or it's bait for a repair upsell — expect the repair quote to be inflated to cover the missing margin.
That cost is almost always built into the repair quote. Bundling detection into repair also creates a conflict of interest: the company has an incentive to find expensive problems, and you have no independent diagnostic to verify the work.
Already holding a four-figure repair quote? A second opinion costs a fraction of an unnecessary repair. We'll confirm the diagnosis — or find you a less invasive alternative.
