Texas's Owner-Operated Pool Leak Specialists
Most pool leaks aren't obvious, and most "leak detection" companies hand you a report and walk away. Gold Star Leak & Repair does it differently.
We're a family-owned, women-owned company led by owner Amanda, with five years of finding and fixing pool leaks across Texas, from the Hill Country around Austin to the Gulf Coast suburbs of Houston. In that time we've located more than 10,000 leaks for over 6,000 customers. When you call, you reach an owner, not a call center. When we show up, you get the people whose name is on the company.
What sets us apart: we don't just find the leak, we fix it. From cracked plumbing under your deck to leaking skimmers, light niches, and equipment lines, we handle the repair on the spot whenever possible. One company, one invoice, one accountable team.
Whether you're a homeowner watching your water bill climb, a property manager dealing with a problem pool, or a buyer who needs a pre-purchase inspection, we'll get you answers fast and fair pricing every time.

Meet the ownersPool & Spa Leak Detection Across Texas
Gold Star Leak & Repair serves homeowners, property managers, and commercial pool operators across two Texas markets: the Austin metro and Greater Houston. Whether you've got an older plaster pool in central Austin, a brand-new build in Leander or Katy, a lakeside pool on Lake Travis, or a master-planned pool in Sugar Land, we cover it.
From early water-loss diagnosis to full repair of underground plumbing, skimmers, light niches, and equipment lines, our team is built to handle every kind of leak Texas throws at a pool. And because we live and work here, we know what local conditions do to pools: the Hill Country limestone and caliche around Austin, the expansive Gulf Coast clay around Houston, hard water, drought, and the hard freezes that burst lines and crack tile. We've seen it all.
With local offices and local phone numbers in both Cedar Park (Austin) and Houston, you always reach a crew that's nearby.

How much does pool leak detection cost in Texas?
Pool leak detection is a flat, upfront fee, not a mystery. The exact cost depends on your pool, spa, and equipment setup, but you'll always get a written price before any repair work begins, with no surprise add-ons.
How fast can you come out?
Fast. We offer same-week scheduling across both the Austin and Houston metros, and we can often get to urgent leaks sooner. A fast diagnosis means less water lost and a smaller water bill.
Will you actually fix the leak, or just find it?
Both. Unlike companies that only locate the leak and hand you a report, Gold Star detects and repairs: plumbing, structural cracks, skimmers, and equipment lines. One company, one invoice, one accountable team.
How do you find a pool leak?
We use professional electronic equipment, including acoustic listening, pressure testing, and dye testing, to pinpoint exactly where and why your pool is losing water, without tearing up your yard to find out.
Do you work on commercial pools, HOAs, and apartment complexes?
Yes. We serve residential, commercial, and real-estate clients across Texas, including pre-purchase pool inspections for buyers and agents.
Are you licensed and insured?
Gold Star Leak & Repair is a registered, family-owned and women-owned Texas LLC, fully insured for the leak detection and repair work we do. Proof of insurance is available on request. Every job starts with a written, itemized proposal before any work begins, so you know exactly what you're paying for and who's accountable for it.
How can I tell if my pool is actually leaking, or just losing water to evaporation?
A simple bucket test helps: float a bucket of pool water on a step and compare the drop inside the bucket to the drop in the pool over 24 hours. In Texas heat, and Houston humidity, evaporation can hide a real leak, so if your pool is dropping more than about a quarter-inch a day, it's worth a call.
Do you service spas and hot tubs?
Yes. We detect and repair leaks in spas and hot tubs as well as pools, on every system type: gunite/concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner.
