What Are the Five Steps of a Leak Visit?
Same five steps at every home, from the Cove to Date Palm Country Club.
You Call and Tell the Signs
A high bill, a busy fill valve, air at the pump. What you saw tells us where the search starts. We ask when the loss began and how fast the line drops each day. Your answers shape the test plan we bring to your home.
Dye Tests the Shell
Dye goes to the skimmer, lights, returns, and any crack we can see. Dye pulled in marks a leak on the spot. We test the shell first because it is fast and leaves no mark. If the dye stays still, the shell is sound and we move on to the lines.
Pressure Tests the Lines
Each pipe line is plugged and filled with air. A line that drops on the gauge is the line that leaks. We test one line at a time, so the result names the exact pipe. A line that holds its air is a line we can rule out for good.
Sound Zooms In
Sound tools trace the hiss of lost water through deck and ground, till the spot is marked in one small patch. This step is what keeps the fix small. Most leaks need one small opening, not a torn-up deck or yard.
Proof, Fix, Retest
You see the photos and the marked spot. The fix opens that one place. Then all tests run again. The visit ends only when the water holds its line. You keep the photos and notes for your own records.
