Underwater Pool Inspections
We dive in to confirm the leak with our own eyes.
An underwater pool inspection is a diver-performed examination of the submerged pool surfaces, fittings, main drains, and light niches to visually confirm leak sources and structural issues without draining the pool.

Overview
Some leaks can only be confirmed underwater. Rather than draining your pool — which is costly and risky for the shell — our divers inspect main drains, return fittings, light niches, skimmer throats, and the plaster surface in place. We combine dye testing with direct visual confirmation so there's no ambiguity about the source.
Common Problems & Signs
- Suspected main drain or deep-end leak
- Visible cracks below the water line
- Leaking light niche or conduit
- Loose or separated fittings underwater
Common Causes
- Failed main drain seals and pots
- Cracked or hollow plaster below the waterline
- Deteriorated light niche gaskets
- Separated return and step fittings
How We Do It

Visual confirmation
Our diver inspects drains, niches, and the shell directly.
Document findings
We mark and document every confirmed source for the repair plan.
Why homeowners choose us for this
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.
Every repair backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Underwater Pool Inspections FAQs
Do you have to drain my pool to inspect it?
No. Our divers inspect underwater in place, which avoids the cost and structural risk of draining your pool.
Can you fix what you find while diving?
Many underwater repairs — like fittings, niches, and certain crack repairs — can be addressed without draining. We'll confirm during the inspection.

Local conditions that drive underwater pool inspections
Available across Texas — with deep coverage in San Antonio & Abilene. Texas soil and water conditions are what make underwater inspections so important here.
Why San Antonio pools need Underwater Inspections
- Soil
- Expansive Blackland (Houston Black) clay that swells and shrinks with moisture, cracking shells and stressing buried plumbing.
- Climate
- Long, hot summers and recurring drought trigger SAWS watering restrictions that make every leaked gallon costly.
- Water
- Served by San Antonio Water System (SAWS), drawing from the Edwards Aquifer.
Why Abilene pools need Underwater Inspections
- Soil
- Expansive clay and caliche that move sharply through wet/dry cycles, opening cracks and breaking underground lines.
- Climate
- A hot semi-arid climate with wide day-to-night and seasonal temperature swings, plus recurring drought, that hard-cycles pool shells and plumbing.
- Water
- Served by the City of Abilene, drawing from Lake Fort Phantom Hill, Hubbard Creek Reservoir, and O.H. Ivie Reservoir.
