Owner
Nolan Hayhurst is the owner of Aquatic Leak Detection & Pool Repair — a family-owned company built around one thing: finding pool leaks and fixing them right. He started in Dallas–Fort Worth and now serves Central & West Texas. Leak detection isn't a service we tacked on; it's all we do. And because we handle detection AND repair in-house, you'll never be bounced between companies.
No guesswork at any step. Here's exactly how we find and resolve your pool leak.
We separate true leakage from normal Texas evaporation so the diagnosis is honest from the start.
Pressure testing, electronic listening, and dye tests isolate exactly where water is escaping.
We dive and visually confirm the leak — no draining your pool, no ambiguity.
Our in-house crew repairs the confirmed source and verifies the fix holds.
A hidden leak only wastes more water and costs more to fix the longer it goes undetected. The sooner we test, the less you lose.

In-house crew · San Antonio & West Texas
We push hardest in two Texas markets — bringing test-don't-guess detection and in-house repair to the homeowners who need it most.

Bexar County
San Antonio's expansive clay soils and drought-driven watering rules make accurate pool leak detection essential — we test instead of guess across Bexar County.

Taylor County
Abilene's hard water, temperature swings, and shifting clay-and-caliche soils make leaks common across the Big Country — we bring precise detection and in-house repair to Taylor County.

“Their customer service was absolutely top notch and you can truly tell they are a family-owned business that cares about their customers. Professional, honest, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend — 10/10 experience!”
“I highly recommend calling Nolan and his team… They found the leak with sonar equipment. They showed us the cracked pipe and talked us through what they were going to do to fix the problem and they did it. The work was completed in one day. We are really happy with the work.”
“Their approach to completing a comprehensive leak check was meticulous and thorough. They pinpointed the leak source and communicated their findings clearly… ALD took care to preserve my landscaping — after digging a trench in my grass you could hardly tell a repair had been made when they finished.”
If you're losing more than about 1/4 inch of water per day, your auto-fill runs constantly, or you see wet spots and cracks, you likely have a leak. We confirm and pinpoint the exact source with pressure testing and electronic detection.
Yes. We're a full-service detection and repair company. The same in-house team that locates your leak also fixes it — no outsourcing and no finger-pointing between contractors.
We serve San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, Abilene, and the broader West Texas region for both residential and commercial pools.
We specialize in leak detection. We test instead of guess, diagnose the true root cause, and only recommend the repairs you actually need — backed by 15+ years of experience as a family-owned business.
Yes — San Antonio is one of our primary markets. We cover Bexar County and surrounding Comal and Guadalupe Counties, including Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Helotes, Schertz, Cibolo, and Boerne. The expansive clay soils around San Antonio crack pool shells and stress buried plumbing, so we pressure test to find the true source — we don't guess — and our in-house crew handles the repair.
Absolutely. Abilene is a priority service area for us across Taylor and Jones Counties, including Buffalo Gap, Tuscola, Clyde, Merkel, and Sweetwater. Hard water, big temperature swings, and shifting clay-and-caliche soils make leaks common in the Big Country, so we bring precise electronic and pressure-based detection plus in-house repair — no outsourcing, no finger-pointing.
We serve San Antonio (Bexar County) and Abilene (Taylor County) as our two heaviest markets, plus New Braunfels, Austin, and the broader West Texas and Permian Basin region. Whether you're in Central Texas or out west, the same in-house team that tests to locate your leak also repairs it.
