Measure the water loss
If it is safe for the pool and equipment, run a 24-hour bucket test and write down the pool drop and bucket drop separately.
Fountain and Water Feature Leak Detection in Phoenix, AZ
Fountains, waterfalls, raised walls, and pool-connected water features add plumbing, joints, penetrations, and exposed moving water. Echo tests the feature as its own system, identifies likely leak points, and explains practical repair options.

Symptoms
Problems this service helps solve
- A fountain or waterfall needs frequent refilling.
- Water loss changes when the feature pump is running.
- Wet areas appear around rock joints, basins, walls, or buried plumbing.
- A pool loses water faster when its water feature operates.
What Echo tests
- Visual inspection of basins, joints, penetrations, fittings, and plumbing access.
- Static and operating-condition comparisons.
- Dye testing around suspected joints and penetrations.
- Pressure testing of accessible feature plumbing when appropriate.
What to expect
- Small fountains, waterfalls, and pool-connected water features are evaluated within the service scope.
- Findings are explained before repair options are proposed.
- Rock-joint sealing and other leak-related repairs may be available when appropriate.
What the test can and cannot determine
- Large municipal or specialty fountain systems may require another contractor.
- Pond-style systems, waterproofing failures, and inaccessible plumbing can require staged work.
- Moving water increases evaporation, so operating patterns need to be compared carefully.

Before the visit
Useful details to have ready
Good notes help Echo choose the right tests sooner. They do not need to be perfect, and they should never put the pool finish, pump, or anyone's safety at risk.
Use the evaporation checkerNote how the system was running
Record whether the pump, spa, spillway, water features, heater, or autofill were on during the measurement period.
Photograph visible clues
Take pictures of wet soil, deck cracks, loose fittings, air in the pump basket, equipment moisture, and the water level where loss slows.
Keep recent changes clear
List recent repairs, resurfacing, storms, backwashing, draining, refilling, or plumbing work so the appointment starts with useful context.
Common questions
Do you work on pool water features?
Yes. Echo checks pool-connected waterfalls, raised walls, spillways, small fountains, and their accessible plumbing and penetrations.
Can you seal leaking rock joints?
When a leaking joint is confirmed and the repair is within scope, Echo can explain sealing or repair options. Larger waterproofing or structural conditions may need specialized work.
