4 year old pool, had a leak repaired 2 years ago and now I have a leak again. 2 years ago the leak was just off the patio where a lot of the plumbing was criss crossed and a joint had a crack that might have been weak since the installation. Multiple pipes were crossing other pipes in about 3 layers in 3 different angles, it looked like a rats nest and was buried about 18 inches deep.
I just noticed my water level going down so I measured and watched it drop about 3/4" in 24 hours. Water temp is about 40 degrees so can't do much in the water without freezing myself.
My pool builder no longer has the personnel that do leak / PSI testing. I called American Leak Detection and got a quote of $350 just to identify where the leak is, then more to fix it.
I really suspect the leak is in the same place since the soil continues to sink in that area. I think it was a poorly planned piping job that may be to blame, not sure I can get the builder to admit or fix.
Any ideas on what to do? Of course 15 degree weather in Dallas in not going to help much the next 2-3 days. Looks like a few other Southern folks are facing extreme temperatures the next few days as the anti-Gore air mass moves south across the country.
