Pool owners in McKinney, Dallas, and across North Texas trust Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair for expert pool leak locating, repairs, and pool remodeling.
With over 10 years of industry experience, we’re proud to serve our North Texas neighbors with professional pool services and repairs.
Pool leaks are silent money pits: slowly draining your wallet through rising water bills, wasted chemicals, and potential property damage you can’t yet see.
If you’re noticing visible water loss, unexplained wet spots around the deck or equipment, cracks in the shell, or a chemical imbalance you can’t explain, your pool may have a leak. Most pool owners lose a quarter to an eighth of an inch of water per day to evaporation; anything beyond that warrants a closer look.
Don’t wait for a small problem to become a big (and expensive) one. Schedule a free phone consultation today, and we’ll help you figure out what’s going on before you spend another dollar filling your pool.

That means the same people who found your leak are the ones in your backyard fixing it. We repair leaks in the ground, under the deck, and throughout your pool’s structure and equipment, with no subcontractors, no runarounds, and no surprises.

Dakota was very quick to repair my pool tile and removing my damaged diving board. His fees were reasonable and he was very nice to work with. I highly recommend Evolution for your pool repair needs.

I originally found Dakota / Evolution just searching on Facebook. I knew by his posts and photos that he was the right person for us to use for any leaks or pool maintenance. I knew just by his posts about work and maintenance on elevated spas and waterfalls that he would be the right person for us to use. Recently, Dakota fixed a hard to get to in ground leak that was underneath several other lines. Dakota is quick to respond and does everything with excellence. We will use and recommend Dakota. 5 stars

We have used Dakota and his team a couple of times to fix a variety of issues with an older pool. They have always been prompt and professional, and I appreciate that he’s quick to give advice on pool questions for an inexperienced pool owner. Also would like to complement his father who has been out to our house to help, and always provides great service, advice, and conversation. Hope I don’t need their service anytime soon, but it’s reassuring to know they are always there when we need their assistance.

Today I had the opportunity to work with Dakota and I can say I was truly blown away. I’m in the process of selling my home and my pool had come up on the inspection list. I called him and he came right away to check out the “so called” leaks the inspector found. He assured me it was a small leak but nothing that serious to worry about. He emailed me a receipt right after payment and a very derailed report of his findings. On top of that he provided me with 2 different quotes. I can say this company is legit legit. Very professional. Very high on customer satisfaction. I will keep him in mind for any leaks in the future. Thank you again Dakota!
Keep up the great work! You guys were awesome.Christian Martinez
Since 2018, Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair has delivered top-notch pool services to homeowners across the Metroplex, from leak detection and repairs to full remodels.
We’re a small, family-owned business based in McKinney, TX, serving all of North Texas. Dakota Hatch and his family built Evolution on a straightforward belief: pool owners deserve honest answers, clear communication, and technicians who actually show up and do the work themselves. When you call Evolution, you’re not reaching a call center. You’re getting a team that takes your pool problem as seriously as you do.

Start with the bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a step, and mark both water levels. After 24 hours, if your pool has lost more water than the bucket, you likely have a leak rather than normal evaporation. From there, a professional can use pressure testing and dye testing to pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from — whether it’s in the shell, the plumbing, or the equipment. If you suspect a leak, the sooner you get it checked, the less water (and money) you lose.
Once the leak is located, a technician carefully cuts into the concrete slab to access and fix the problem at its source. After the repair is complete, the slab is resealed and patched, restoring it to its original condition. Shifting ground is one of the most common causes of under-slab leaks, so a proper repair addresses the source, not just the symptoms.
Locating a pool leak usually starts by determining whether the leak is in the structure (shell, fittings, or skimmer) or in the plumbing. Professionals use a combination of pressure testing—pressurizing the plumbing lines to detect drops that indicate a breach—and dye testing, where a small amount of dye is released near suspected areas to see if it is pulled toward a crack or gap. Electronic listening equipment can also detect escaping water underground. DIY leak hunting can help you spot surface-level cracks, but for leaks in the plumbing or underground, professional detection equipment is the only reliable way to find the source.
A quarter to an eighth of an inch of water loss per day is typical due to evaporation. If you’re losing more than that — especially consistently — it’s worth getting a professional opinion.
We do both. From leak detection to the final repair, our team handles every step in-house. No subcontractors, no hand-offs.
We serve the DFW Metroplex and surrounding North Texas communities, generally within about 30 miles of McKinney.
We work on pool-attached spas, spa spillways, and waterfalls. We do not service standalone spas or jacuzzis, or residential home leaks.
