The single detection visit split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | detection visit row, national average | $300 average |
| Frame A | inground pool row | $400-$1,000 |
| Frame B | detection visit row | $100-$1,000 |
| Frame B | above-ground pool row | $100-$500 |
This cluster prices the single pool leak detection visit alone, by pool type. Named apart, never a row here: the slab leak cluster (house plumbing under a slab, its own field -- this cluster carries no slab guide of its own), the smart leak detection cluster (monitoring devices), the pool pump repair cluster (item 1759), the pool light replacement cluster (item 1767), the pool liner and resurfacing clusters (repair tickets a visit may precede but never includes), and whole-pool renovation tickets. The follow-on repair is named on every page as the separate ticket it is, never a detection row.
Frame A lines, as reported: the Angi frame, by pool type
| Frame A pool type line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Detection visit row, all types | $100-$1,000 |
| Above-ground pool row | $100-$700 |
| Inground pool row | $400-$1,000 |
| Attached-spa row, read with its pool type | inside the $400-$1,000 inground band |
| Deep inground inspection read row | reaching $3,600 |
| Hourly read row | $75-$125 |
| Pool line pressure test row | $200-$500 |
Frame A counts a national band with a type table; excavation at $500-$5,000 stands named as a repair-side add, never a detection row.
Frame B lines, as reported: the HomeGuide frame, by pool type
| Frame B pool type line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Detection visit row, all types | $100-$1,000 |
| Above-ground pool row | $100-$500 |
| Inground pool row | $400-$1,000 |
| Attached-spa row, read with its pool type | inside the $400-$1,000 inground band |
| Follow-on repair row, separate ticket | averaging $500-$1,500 |
Frame B counts a second national read with a tighter above-ground band. The frames count the same job on different bases -- a national band with a type table in Frame A (detection at $100-$1,000, a $300 average, inground at $400-$1,000, above-ground at $100-$700) against a second national read in Frame B (detection at $100-$1,000, inground at $400-$1,000, above-ground at $100-$500). The inground visit is counted two ways across them -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours, differentiated
The standing slab leak detection hub prices house plumbing under a slab, and the slab leak cluster stands as its own field here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pool leak detection cost in Orange County?
Two frames, never blended. Frame A prints detection at $100 to $1,000 with a $300 national average, inground at $400 to $1,000. Frame B prints detection at $100 to $1,000, above-ground at $100 to $500.
Why do the frames print different figures for the same visit?
Counting. Frame A prints a type table with above-ground at $100 to $700, while Frame B prints the tighter above-ground band at $100 to $500. The inground row stands at $400 to $1,000 in both. A frame difference, never averaged.
What does the inground line print at, as reported?
Both frames print inground detection at $400 to $1,000. Frame A adds a deep inground inspection read reaching $3,600 and hourly reads at $75 to $125 on their own rows.
What does the pressure test line print at, as reported?
Frame A prints a pool line pressure test at $200 to $500, inside its $100 to $1,000 detection band. Frame B prints no row by that name, and that absence stands.
Is a detection visit the same purchase as the repair that follows it?
No: this cluster prices the single detection visit alone, at a $300 national average in Frame A. Frame B prints the follow-on repair averaging $500 to $1,500 as the separate ticket it is, never a detection row.
