WHAT IS A LEAK DETECTION?

A leak detection from Poolmax includes:

  • equipment testing to find above ground pipe leaks
  • an electronic test to determine the rate of a leak
  • a determination of exactly where the leak is coming from
  • a report detailing what was done and what was found
  • a estimate for all necessary repairs

​A typical leak detection will take around 90 minutes to complete.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Dan was very honest and explained to me the process of finding the leak and the repair. It's hard to find businesses with ethics, honesty and that stand behind their work. I would use Dan's Poolmax again for any repairs to my pool/spa and any other repairs in the backyard. 

Thanks Dan!"
Poolmax is the best pool service I've ever used. They are friendly and helpful, and work hard to keep my older pool clean and sparkly. I would definitely recommend them highly.
Poolmax renovated our 28 year old pool. Dan Cortez and Dave Sanchez were extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Every step was performed professionally with no delays. We are thoroughly pleased with our new pool!
