Leak Detection FAQ for El Cajon, CA

How do I know if my El Cajon pool is leaking or just evaporating?

Bucket test. Fill a bucket with pool water and sit it on the first step. Mark both levels. After 24-48 hours, if the pool dropped more than the bucket, you have a leak. If they match, it's evaporation.

Can you find leaks without digging up my deck?

Yes, almost always. Electronic detection locates leaks through the deck, so we only dig if we've confirmed where the leak is and repair requires access.

How much water loss is normal for a pool in El Cajon?

In El Cajon, 1/4 inch per day from evaporation is normal in summer. More than that, especially with heavy wind, we'd recommend a leak test.
