We find the leak.
You keep your pool.
A pool leak can cost you hundreds of dollars a month in wasted water, chemicals, and energy. Worse, it can undermine your deck, erode your yard, and damage your pool structure. Maxc Solutions uses certified, non-invasive leak detection methods to pinpoint the exact source -- so you stop guessing and start fixing.
Warning signs
Think your pool might be leaking?
Not sure if your pool is leaking or just evaporating? Here are the telltale signs that something more is going on.
Dropping Water Level
If your pool loses more than a quarter-inch of water per day, evaporation probably is not the only cause. That is roughly two inches a week -- and it adds up fast.
Chemical Imbalance
Constantly adding chlorine or struggling to keep your water balanced? A leak dilutes your chemicals as fast as you add them.
Wet Spots in the Yard
Soggy patches near the pool, on the deck, or in the yard -- especially when it has not rained -- are a clear warning sign of an underground plumbing leak.
Rising Water Bills
Your autofill keeps running. Your water bill keeps climbing. If your pool is refilling itself more than usual, it is likely leaking and costing you money every day.
Air Bubbles in the Return
Air bubbles coming from your return jets usually mean air is being sucked into the plumbing on the suction side. That is a leak in the underground lines.
Cracks or Shifting
Cracks in the pool shell, loose tiles, or a deck that is separating from the pool can all point to a leak that is slowly washing away the supporting soil.
Our process
Five steps to finding your leak
We follow a systematic, multi-step process to find your leak accurately. No shortcuts, no guesswork.
Visual Inspection
We start by walking your pool area and equipment pad with a trained eye. Many leaks leave visual clues -- staining, settlement, moisture, or equipment wear. This gives us a baseline and tells us where to focus our testing.
Pressure Testing
We isolate and pressure-test each plumbing line individually -- skimmer lines, return lines, main drain, and any water features. This tells us exactly which line is losing pressure and confirms whether the leak is in the plumbing or the shell.
Electronic Detection
Using specialized listening equipment, we can hear water escaping through concrete, vinyl, or underground pipes without digging anything up. This narrows the leak location down to a precise area.
Dye Testing
For shell leaks, we use specialized dye near suspect areas. The dye gets drawn toward the leak point, giving us visual confirmation of the exact spot. It is non-toxic and will not affect your water chemistry.
Report & Repair Plan
Once we have found the leak, we give you a clear report: where it is, what caused it, and what it will take to fix it. No surprises, no upsells. Just a straightforward plan so you can make an informed decision.

Leak Detection
Certification matters
Why certified detection is worth it
Most pool companies will tell you they can find a leak. What they actually do is start digging and hope for the best. That approach wastes your time, tears up your yard, and often does not even find the real problem.
Certified leak detection is different. It means we have been trained on the proper methods and equipment to locate leaks non-invasively. We test systematically, verify our findings, and give you an accurate diagnosis before anyone picks up a shovel.
The result? Less disruption to your property, faster answers, and real savings. When you know exactly where the leak is, the repair is targeted, efficient, and far less expensive than exploratory digging.
- Non-invasive -- no unnecessary excavation
- Accurate results you can trust
- Saves money compared to guesswork repairs
- Specialized equipment and certified training
- Clear report with repair options
Stop the damage
The average pool leak wastes thousands of litres of water per month. The sooner you find it, the sooner you stop paying for it.
