Start with the right information
You don't need to diagnose it yourself. These details help us understand the job:
- Photo of leak
- Pump on/off behavior
- Equipment location
What we evaluate
Leaks near pumps, filters, valves, and exposed PVC may come from gaskets, unions, cracked fittings, worn seals, or pressure-related issues. Underground or structural pool leaks require a different scope of investigation.
Common reasons customers call
- Dripping pump unions
- leaking valves
- cracked equipment-pad fittings
- visible PVC leaks
- repeated loss of prime linked to air intrusion
Before you request service
Photograph the leaking area with equipment on and off if safe, and note whether water loss continues when the pump is stopped.
We avoid assuming that every drop in pool water level comes from the equipment pad; evaporation and concealed leaks require separate evaluation.
Find the source before replacing plumbing
Water can travel along pipes and drip far from the actual leak. The first wet fitting, whether the leak appears under pressure, and whether it persists after shutdown help narrow the issue.
Information that helps us evaluate your request
Wide photo of the equipment pad; close-up of first visible leak; whether it happens only while running; whether the pump loses prime.
Equipment and diagnosis considerations
An equipment-pad leak is different from a suspected underground return-line leak or a crack in the pool shell. This page covers accessible equipment and above-ground plumbing; concealed leak detection or structural repairs may require a separate specialist.
Never loosen a filter clamp, union, or other pressurized fitting while the system is operating. Stop equipment and follow manufacturer safety guidance before inspection.
Our approach
- Tell us the symptoms, your equipment models, and service location.
- Our team reviews the information and confirms the appropriate next step and scope.
- We discuss practical repair or upgrade options and provide a quote before agreed work proceeds.

Equipment-pad leaks versus concealed pool leaks
A wet pad does not automatically mean a buried pipe is leaking. Water may come from a pump seal, filter connection, valve stem, heater connection, or exposed PVC. Identifying where water first appears helps narrow the repair scope.
How we narrow down the right solution
- Locate the first visible drip without opening pressurized equipment.
- Note whether the leak occurs only while the pump runs.
- Share close-up and wide-angle photos so we can distinguish accessible equipment repairs from specialist leak detection.
More questions homeowners ask
Why does my pool lose water only when the pump runs?
Pressure-side leaks may become more apparent while equipment operates, but other causes are possible.
Do you repair structural pool leaks?
We focus this page on accessible equipment and plumbing repairs; we confirm whether other leak-detection specialists are needed.
