- Henderson, NV, Clark County
- Median year structure built
- 2000 (Census ACS 2019-2023)
- Water utility
- City of Henderson Utility Services (SNWA wholesales the water)
- Normal pool evaporation
- 48.6 gallons per square foot per year (SNWA)
- 1Skimmer, set at the water line and piped to the equipment.
- 2Return fitting, where filtered water comes back into the pool.
- 3Light niche, the recess in the wall that holds the pool light.
- 4Main drain at the deepest point of the floor.
- 5Equipment pad: pump, filter and the ends of the underground lines.
- 6Bucket test: a bucket on a pool step, rim a few inches above the water line, left undisturbed for several hot days. If the water in the bucket ends up noticeably higher than the pool's, the pool may be losing water to a leak.
Signs You Need Pool Leak Detection in Henderson, NV
Faster loss on one pump setting
Loss that changes with the pump tells you which side of the plumbing to suspect.
Damp soil near the pad
Ground staying dark by the equipment or a return run often sits over a weeping line.
Gaps at the tile band or light ring
Missing grout or a crack near the light can let water out. Dye in still water shows whether it does.
The spa drops while the pool rises
An attached spa draining into the pool or onto the deck points to spa plumbing or the spillover edge.
A higher City of Henderson bill
Top-up water runs through your city meter, so a steady leak shows as extra use.
Our Pool Leak Detection Services in Henderson, NV
Six components cover most of what we test at a Henderson, NV pool.
Light niche
Water follows the cord conduit or slips past a worn lens gasket.
Skimmer
The throat cracks where it joins the shell, or the body separates from the deck.
Return fittings
Eyeball fittings loosen, and the pipe behind them can leak under the deck.
Main drain
The drain, sump and suction pipe are pressure tested rather than inspected by eye.
Equipment pad plumbing
Unions and valves at the pump and filter drip into gravel unnoticed.
Spa and spillover
Tested as its own circuit, so spa loss is never blamed on the pool.
Our Pool Leak Detection Process in Henderson, NV
Review your level notes
Where the water stopped, and when it dropped fastest, sets the starting point.
Inspect the shell and fittings
Cracks, gaps and loose fittings are checked by eye first.
Dye test suspect points
In still water, dye drawn into an opening confirms it.
Pressure test the lines
Each return, suction and spa line is isolated and held under pressure.
Mark the leak
Your contractor gets the spot and a record of what passed and failed.
- 1Meter box. Lift the lid to see the water meter.
- 2Flow-indicator triangle (red or white) on the meter face. With all water off inside and outside the home, a triangle that is still moving means there may be a leak.
- 3Meter dial and sweep hand, which record the water that passes through the meter.
- 4Service line from the meter to the house. If the triangle still moves with the house shut-off valve closed, the leak is likely underground on this line.
- 5House shut-off valve. Close it and check the triangle again: if it stops, the leak is elsewhere on the property.

What our Henderson, NV pool leak detection company commits to, and what a visit cannot prove.
Evaporation comes first
If your bucket test points to normal evaporation, we say so before a visit is booked.
Detection only

Honest limits
Splash-out, backwashing and a running waterfall add to the drop, and we say so when they explain it.

FAQs About Pool Leak Detection in Henderson, NV
How much does pool leak detection cost in Henderson, NV?
We have not published a price. It depends on pool size, any attached spa and how many lines need testing; we quote before booking.
Do you need to drain my pool to find the leak?
Usually not. Dye and pressure testing are done with the pool full; the repair may differ.
Can you get into guard-gated Anthem or Seven Hills?
Yes. Add us to your visitor list or share gate instructions when you book.
Do you check the spa as well as the pool?
Yes. An attached spa has its own plumbing and spillover, and its leak can look like a pool leak, so both are checked.
Can I call about a pool leak in Henderson, NV on a weekend?
Yes. Saturday and Sunday calls are answered like any other, 24/7. A pool dropping fast or water pooling by the pad counts as an emergency pool leak in Henderson, NV: switch off the auto-fill and we book the visit on that call.
Do you repair the pool leak once you find it?
No. Our job ends with the leak located and marked; a pool contractor repairs it.
