Escondido Pool Builders provides professional pool leak detection & crack repair in Escondido, CA for homeowners across North San Diego County. Before we sell a leak test in Escondido we ask for a bucket test, and a fair number of calls end right there.
Dry inland air, an afternoon of wind and unfiltered sun can take a quarter inch off a pool in a day with nothing wrong with it, and a Santa Ana week takes visibly more.
Add an uncovered spa or a waterfall that runs all afternoon and the number climbs again. That is evaporation, and we will not charge you to hunt for a leak that is not there.
A real leak is expensive here in a way it would not be where water is cheap, and the thing that hides it is the auto-fill.
A valve that keeps the level looking normal while the meter turns is how a small return-line leak runs for a year unnoticed. If your water bill moved and your pool level did not, shut the auto-fill off for two days and watch.
The leaks we actually find in this valley have local causes.
On hillside lots the decomposed granite moves seasonally and works rigid pipe where it passes under the deck, which is why conduit at a light niche and return lines near the transition are the first places we look.
Cracked skimmer throats are common on older shells. A vanishing edge catch basin is the leak most often mistaken for evaporation, because the basin quietly refills itself from the pool.
We isolate and pressure test each line before anyone opens concrete, dye test the shell, and listen where the test says to listen. The result is a location, not a permission to start digging. Not every crack leaks.
Shrinkage cracking in plaster is cosmetic and gets left alone.
A structural crack through gunite gets epoxy injection and staples, and a shell that keeps cracking in the same place has a soil or drainage problem above it that needs solving first, or you will pay for the same repair twice.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, C-53 licensed pool construction, decomposed granite and boulder excavation, pebble, mini-pebble and quartz interior finishes, glass and porcelain waterline tile, travertine and Santa Barbara sandstone coping — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Escondido and nearby communities including San Diego, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Murrieta.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool leak detection & crack repair
The difference between pool leak detection & crack repair that lasts and pool leak detection & crack repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, C-53 licensed pool construction, decomposed granite and boulder excavation, pebble, mini-pebble and quartz interior finishes, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Escondido job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in North San Diego County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
