Evaporation vs. leak
Hot sun, low humidity and wind all increase evaporation. Comparing water loss to conditions helps decide if a leak is likely.

Pool Leak Detection in Plano, TX
Losing water from a pool doesn't always mean there's a leak. In North Texas, evaporation alone can lower the water level noticeably. Pool Referees can help assess unexpected water loss and look for signs of possible equipment or plumbing leaks.
Is my pool leaking or just evaporating?
Evaporation is common in hot, dry, windy weather and can lower a pool's level significantly. Water loss that seems faster than expected, or wet spots near equipment, may suggest a leak and is worth an assessment.
What this service may include
- Reviewing how quickly the water level is dropping
- Checking the equipment pad for visible leaks
- Looking for wet areas around equipment and plumbing
- Observations that may point to a possible leak

Pool Leak Detection FAQ
Can you help locate pool leaks?
Yes. Pool Referees can assess unexpected water loss and check equipment and visible areas for signs of leaks.
How much water loss is normal from evaporation?
It varies with heat, humidity, wind and sun exposure. Loss that seems unusually fast compared to conditions is worth checking.
Can a leak affect my pool chemistry?
Yes. Frequent refilling adds fresh water that can dilute chemicals and shift water balance.
