Pool Structural Leak Diagnosis and Repair
Not every crack leaks, and not every leak is structural. Echo tests shell penetrations and visible defects so leak-related repair work is aimed at the actual source instead of the most obvious mark in the plaster.

Symptoms
Problems this service helps solve
- Visible shell, step, tile-line, or deck cracking appears with water loss.
- Dye is drawn into a crack, fitting, or light niche.
- Water loss slows or stops at a specific level.
- The pool has recently shifted, settled, or been resurfaced.
What Echo tests
- Visual inspection of shell, tile, fittings, skimmers, and lights.
- Dye testing around suspected cracks and penetrations.
- Level-loss pattern review.
- Plumbing tests when a shell issue is not supported.
What to expect
- The diagnosis separates cosmetic cracking from active water movement.
- Repair recommendations depend on crack type, location, and pool finish.
- Specialty structural conditions may require a dedicated repair contractor.
What the test can and cannot determine
- Structural evaluation is not the same as engineering design.
- Some shell repairs require draining, surface prep, or specialty materials.

Common questions
Does every crack mean the pool is leaking?
No. Cracks need to be tested. Dye movement, water-level behavior, and related symptoms help determine whether the crack is active.
