Pool Leak Detection & Pool Repair in Houston, TX

If there’s one city built to make pools leak, it’s Houston. The same expansive “gumbo” clay that cracks foundations across town works on pool shells and underground plumbing too — and decades of bayou flooding have only made the ground less predictable. Orbit Pool Leak Detection finds the exact source of a leak anywhere in Houston, without tearing up your deck, then repairs it.

A fast way to tell a leak from evaporation: if your pool drops much more than about a quarter inch a day, you have a leak. In Houston’s humidity, real evaporation is slow — a faster drop almost always means water is escaping through the shell, the plumbing, or the equipment.

From older pools in Meyerland, Memorial, and the Heights to newer ones across west Houston and Clear Lake, we find and fix leaks throughout the city and Harris County.

Why Do Houston Pools Leak So Often?

Houston combines just about every condition that causes pool leaks:

Houston Black “gumbo” clay — among the most expansive soils in the country — that swells when wet and shrinks hard in drought, cracking pool shells and pulling apart underground plumbing
A flood-prone, bayou-drained city where storms like Harvey saturate the ground for days; once-level pools and decks shift, and the clay never fully settles back
Decades-old pools in established neighborhoods like Meyerland, Memorial, and the Heights, with aging PVC, galvanized, and copper lines that corrode and fail
Hard, mineral-heavy city water that scales up heaters, salt cells, and fittings, leading to equipment-pad leaks
Hard winter freezes (2021 and 2024) that split exposed pipes, pumps, and filters

We work every part of Houston, so we know how leaks behave on this clay — and where to look first.

How We Find a Pool Leak in Houston

Using pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic/acoustic listening, we pinpoint:

Underground supply and return line leaks shifted by clay movement
Structural shell and bond-beam cracks from expansive soil
Skimmer and skimmer-throat separations
Equipment-pad leaks behind hard-water scale
Post-flood plumbing leaks where saturated ground moved the lines
Spa, fountain, and water-feature plumbing tied into the pool

Then we mark the exact spot, so any repair digs only where it needs to — not across your whole yard.
