Certified Detection, Transparent Pricing, & Over 50 Years Behind Every Visit

American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama provides pool leak repair service to residential pool owners throughout Dothan, AL. Our team uses advanced detection methods to pinpoint leaks precisely without breaking up decking or damaging your pool surrounds. The national brand behind our work has over 50 years in leak detection, and that depth of process shows in every visit.

Dothan’s long summers keep pools running hard for months. A leak during peak season means rising water bills, chemical imbalance, and lost time in the water. High humidity and occasional heavy rains contribute to ground movement, which might affect the integrity of your pool structure, making professional detection far more reliable than watching the water level drop and waiting to see how bad it gets.

Ready to stop guessing about your pool’s water loss? Call (334) 384-8221 to schedule your pool leak repair service inspection. We typically book within a few business days.

What the Pool Leak Repair Service Includes

Pool detection starts at $650, with the final cost depending on pool type and size. Every visit includes a diver inspection of leak points and testing of pool plumbing/equipment. For certain pool types, minor in-pool patches may be performed during the same visit. Before we arrive, you’ll receive a Work Authorization by email. After the visit, we provide a detailed report documenting exactly what was found and where.

A few things to have ready before the visit:

The pool must be full, clean, and clear at the time of inspection
Payment is by check or credit card, collected on-site after service is complete
No rescheduling fee applies if your plans change
If an insurer is covering the service, they should set up the job directly; otherwise, you pay on-site and can seek reimbursement from your insurer

Why Dothan Pool Owners Choose American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama

We work under the Leak Detection Without Destruction™ standard. Air pressure testing, acoustic listening, and moisture meters locate the leak before anyone touches a shovel. Accuracy is typically within approximately 3 feet of the source, including leaks in underground plumbing and areas below the waterline. Diver inspection allows direct assessment of leak points that can’t be reached from the deck.

Our focus is detection, not repair. We don’t perform major plumbing repairs, so the detailed report we hand your repair contractor is a precise target, not an estimate. That unbiased approach means our only job is finding the leak accurately.

Signs Your Dothan Pool May Have a Leak

Some water loss is normal in Dothan’s summer heat. But a measurable drop over 24 hours that goes beyond typical evaporation rates is a reliable signal that something else is going on. The challenge is that Dothan averages around 17 rainy days in July alone, which can temporarily mask soggy ground near a pool and make visual checks unreliable. Professional detection accounts for that.

Common signs worth taking seriously:

Water loss beyond normal evaporation: A consistent daily drop that exceeds what heat alone explains
Wet or soggy ground near the pool edge or equipment pad: Often indicates an underground plumbing leak
Visible cracks or shifts in the pool shell, tile line, or surrounding deck: Structural issues that warrant prompt inspection
Equipment losing prime, running dry, or cycling irregularly: Can point to a plumbing leak on suction or return lines
Unexplained increases in water or chemical bills: A slow leak often shows up here before it’s visible anywhere else

How Pool Leak Detection Works

Pool leaks can originate in several places: the pool shell, fittings and returns, the skimmer, main drain, underground plumbing lines, or pool equipment such as pumps and filters. A professional pool leak detection visit addresses all of these systematically rather than relying on a single visual check of one suspected area.

Air pressure and acoustic listening are the primary non-invasive tools. Moisture meters and thermal inspection are added when the situation calls for it. Diver inspection allows direct visual and tactile assessment below the waterline, where many leaks go undetected longest. Pool plumbing and equipment are pressure-tested to isolate any leaks in the circulation system. Typical location accuracy is within approximately 3 feet of the source. After the visit, a detailed report documents findings precisely so any downstream repair contractor knows exactly where to work.

Preparing for Your Visit

Once you schedule, you’ll receive a Work Authorization by email before the appointment. The pool must be full, clean, and clear at the time of inspection so our team has the water visibility needed for the diver inspection portion of the visit.

Payment is collected on-site by check or credit card after the service is complete. If your appointment needs to move, there’s no rescheduling fee. For customers with an open insurance claim, the best path is to have the insurer contact us directly to set up the job. If you pay on-site instead, you can seek reimbursement from your insurer, but we don’t file claims on your behalf. Commercial customers needing a Certificate of Insurance or W-9 can request those documents, though requiring them before our arrival may slightly delay dispatch.
