“Under the vegas sun, every drop matters.”

Do I have a pool leak, or is it due to normal evaporation?

In Southern Nevada, outdoor pools naturally lose water to evaporation about a quarter-inch per day on average, and more when wind and heat are high. A cover can reduce evaporation by up to 90% and help keep your pool clean. For a quick at-home check, try the bucket test and compare levels after a day.

For context, the Southern Nevada Water Authority estimates the average in-ground pool loses 48.6 gallons of water per square foot each year to evaporation, roughly 22,800 gallons annually for a typical backyard pool so confirming a real leak early prevents major water loss.

What are the signs I should watch for?

Look for at least one sign below. If you spot two or more, call us so we can find the source fast.

  • Falling level even when the pool and spa are off
  • New air in the pump or filter
  • Damp soil by the pad or along a line
  • Bubbles in grass or soft patches near plumbing lines
  • A sudden spike on your utility bill
  • A hot tub that won’t hold level

You can also run the bucket test: place a bucket on a step, match the water line inside and outside, and compare after 24–48 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

How we find and fix issues in your swimming pool

Our specialist uses pro-grade technology to assess the shell and the pool plumbing: acoustic listening, pressure tests on plumbing lines, pinpoint dye work, and camera inspection when needed. As a local leak detection service, Hound Dog focuses on testing that’s efficient and accurate, so you pay for the right solution, not guesswork.

If we confirm a leak, we’ll locate the exact spot and restore circulation. Often, a small seal or valve is all we need to replace no upsells, just the proper fix and clear guidance for next steps.

Extra assurance for tough cases

We also inspect underground sections and hard-to-reach joints. If the main drain or a return is the source, we isolate that line and plan the proper repair. Our crew can plumb every inch of the run to ensure the system is sound. When needed, we provide maintenance tips to prevent recurring problems.

What parts of the system do we review?

  • Equipment: pump, filter, heater, and valves
  • Fittings: skimmers, returns, lights, and main drain
  • Lines: main line, spa line, and vacuum runs
  • Structures: shell cracks and deck joints

Emergency help or routine visit when should I call?

Call when you notice unexpected water loss, wet areas, or system alarms. A homeowner or business can talk with our staff about next steps, and we’ll book you in. For larger jobs, we coordinate with trusted partners to ensure the job is done right the first time.
