Reno Pool Builders provides professional pool leak detection & repair in Reno, NV for homeowners across the Truckee Meadows. Pool leak detection in the high desert starts with proving there is actually a leak, because Reno evaporation is severe enough to fake one convincingly.
A bucket test settles it in a day: if the pool is dropping meaningfully faster than a bucket of water sitting on the step, you have a leak, and if it is not, you have July.
Once we know it is a leak, we find it rather than guess. We pressure-test each plumbing line independently, use electronic listening equipment to trace underground runs, and dye-test the shell, skimmer throats, light niches, main drains, and returns.
Most leaks turn out to be in a small number of usual suspects: cracked skimmer throats, failed plumbing at the pump pad, the seal between a light niche and its conduit, or a return fitting that was never properly bonded to the shell.
In Northern Nevada we get one more category that coastal companies rarely see, which is straight freeze damage — split PVC, cracked pump volutes, and heaters with fractured heat exchangers from a system that was not blown out or freeze-protected.
We repair all of it, and we will always tell you when the cheapest correct fix is re-plumbing a run rather than patching it a third time.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Reno and nearby communities including Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Sun Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool leak detection & repair
The difference between pool leak detection & repair that lasts and pool leak detection & repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Reno job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Truckee Meadows means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
