Our In-The-Dirt Repair Process

1. Leak Detection & Assessment

We use ultrasonic leak finding equipment to pinpoint the leak’s underground location, so we only need to excavate a small area.

2. Careful Excavation

Next, we dig down to expose the damaged pipe or fitting, removing just enough dirt to access the leak while protecting the rest of your landscaping.

3. Expert Repair

With the area uncovered, we repair or replace the faulty section using high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure a durable, watertight fix.

4. Testing & Backfilling

Finally, we thoroughly test the repair to confirm the leak is resolved, then backfill the soil and restore the area, leaving your yard neat and ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an “in-the-dirt” pool repair?

“In-the-dirt” repair refers to fixing pool plumbing leaks located underground in the soil around your pool. It involves excavating the area to reach the damaged pipes or fittings, then repairing or replacing them. This approach is used when a leak can’t be fixed from inside the pool or above ground.

How long does an in-the-dirt repair typically take?

Most underground leak repairs are completed within a day, but it depends on the leak’s complexity and location. Minor fixes might take just a few hours, while more involved repairs could take longer. We’ll provide a time estimate after assessing the problem and work efficiently to get your pool back in action quickly.

How much does it cost, and do you offer estimates?

The cost of an in-the-dirt repair varies based on the situation. We provide a detailed estimate before starting work, so you know the price upfront. Call Evolution for an Estimate – our evaluation is thorough and our pricing is transparent with no surprise charges.

How do I know if I have an underground pool leak?

Common signs include unexplained water loss beyond normal evaporation and persistently wet or mushy spots in your yard. You might also notice the pool’s water chemistry becoming difficult to balance. If you suspect a leak, it’s best to have a professional perform a leak detection test to confirm it.

Will you have to dig up my yard to fix the leak?

We only excavate the specific spot where the leak is located, rather than digging up your whole yard. Our precise detection methods pinpoint the problem area to minimize disruption. After the repair, we refill the hole and restore your yard close to its original state.
