Pool Leak Specialist vs General Plumber: Why It Matters

Plumbers fix pipes. We find and fix pool leaks.

A general plumber is trained for household plumbing — sinks, toilets, water heaters. Pool plumbing is a completely different system with different materials, different pressures, and different failure points. Hiring a plumber for a pool leak is like hiring a dentist to do heart surgery.

We use equipment plumbers do not own

Pool leak detection requires specialized electronic listening devices, pressure testing equipment, and dye testing kits. Most plumbers do not carry this equipment because they do not do this work every day. We do.

Plumbers dig. We do not have to

When a plumber finds an underground pipe leak, the standard fix is to dig it up and replace it. That means tearing up your deck, pavers, or landscaping. We offer trenchless repair that seals the pipe from the inside without digging.

One price vs an open-ended bill

Most plumbers charge by the hour plus materials plus a trip fee. The longer the job takes, the more you pay. ProLeak charges a flat $499 for detection and repair. You know the cost before we show up.
