Find pool shell, plumbing, and equipment leaks before water loss becomes structural damage.
The Okafor Family, who lives in Rosedale, Bakersfield, reached out after noticing rising water bills during pool season. Bakersfield's intense, prolonged summer heat means backyard pools in neighborhoods like Riverlakes and Seven Oaks see some of the heaviest seasonal use in the state, so even a modest leak compounds quickly during pool season. A problem that had been dragging on for months was pinpointed in under two hours.

Bakersfield's intense, prolonged summer heat means backyard pools in neighborhoods like Riverlakes and Seven Oaks see some of the heaviest seasonal use in the state, so even a modest leak compounds quickly during pool season.
Water service in Bakersfield is provided by California Water Service, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
With California's climate, pools and spas run for most of the year, which means even a small leak adds up fast in lost water and can eventually undermine the surrounding decking or yard. We test pool shells, skimmers, return lines, main drains, and equipment pad plumbing to determine whether water loss is from evaporation or an actual leak, and if it's a leak, exactly where.
We use a bucket test to separate evaporation from true leaks, dye testing to check skimmers and fittings, and pressure testing on plumbing lines. For suspected shell leaks, a dive inspection can visually confirm the leak point.

A technician arrives with acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure or camera tools matched to your specific leak type.
The leak's exact location is marked and explained to you in plain terms, so nothing gets opened up on a guess.
You receive a written diagnostic report you can hand to your plumber, restoration team, or insurance company, with repair or fix options discussed on the spot.
“Summer heat here really does a number on the slab. They found the leak fast with thermal imaging and were upfront about what to expect for next steps.”
“Water bill was through the roof for two billing cycles. They found a small slab leak near the kitchen and marked the exact spot for repair. No unnecessary demolition.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
