Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair

Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair handles pool leak detection and repair along with remodels and upgrades for homes and businesses in McKinney and the surrounding DFW area. Dakota and Lacey run the day to day work out of McKinney with hours from Monday through Friday 8AM to 7PM and Saturday 8AM to 5PM. They cover McKinney, Dallas, Allen, Richardson and nearby spots, taking on both residential and commercial jobs such as locating hidden leaks, fixing valves and skimmers, and addressing priming or suction problems in older pools.

Homeowners call them in for leaks that drive up water bills or leave wet spots around the deck and equipment. Dakota has shown up the next day or even within the hour to run tests, pinpoint the source, and complete repairs on site so the pool holds water again without constant refills. Lacey handles the scheduling and quotes while Dakota, Ayden and Doug handle the fixes, including valve work and skimmer repairs that avoid full replacements. Customers note the crew explains the steps, keeps the work area clean, and finishes jobs that restore normal flow and suction in pools that had been hard to prime.

They respond to calls within a day, send someone out quickly, and keep pricing reasonable by repairing parts instead of swapping whole units. Communication stays clear from the first contact through the final walkthrough, with follow up visits scheduled within a week or two when needed. The service area stays focused on the DFW region, and the team works on pools of all ages, including fifty year old setups that need seasonal leak fixes after freezes or settling.

“I’ve now had the pleasure of working with Dakota Hatch at Evolution Leak Detection and Pool Repair twice—once in 2024 and again in 2026—and both experiences were exceptional. The leaks were in completely different areas of my pool, yet Dakota diagnosed each issue quickly and accurately. Evolution’s response time was impressive, with someone reaching out within 24 hours. Dakota explained the problem thoroughly, walked me through what the repair would involve, and returned within the week to complete the work. His pricing is fair, his professionalism is consistent, and his customer service is outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Dakota again if I ever need pool leak repair in the future. Highly recommend Evolution Leak Detection and Pool Repair for anyone looking for reliable, honest, and high‑quality service. Kimberly Phillips, McKinney TX”

“Dakota and his team are so professional! I just moved to the DFW area with my family. When we moved in, we realized our pool was in terrible condition. Dakota and his assistant, Ayden, came out, gave me a quote and were back within two weeks fixing everything that was messed up. Lord knows I don't know the fancy terms and all, but I DO know that my kids absolutely loved using the pool after! I've recommended them to almost anybody that I can, and I hope that they stay in business a very long time! Thank you guys for the excellent service!”

“With a fifty year old pool there's always something. Dakota came out, was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable and was able to detect the leaks and fix them onsite to get us through this season. He's the guy we highly recommend.”

“We have been struggling with issues with our pool, primarily with priming being extremely difficult and suction also being so poor that the cleaner wouldn't move. Someone gave me the name of Evolution Leak Detection, as I was concerned there was a leak somewhere in the pipes. Lacey responded to my inquiry immediately and scheduled to have Dakota come out like the next day. He did his testing, determined that we had some issues with valves and the skimmers, and quoted a very reasonable price. We had the work scheduled and Dakota came out and did all the repairs. Amazing - now priming is effortless and the pool is as good as new. Super knowledgeable about all things related to the pool, and both he and Lacy are extremely professional and great to communicate with. I've deleted all my other pool contacts, and will now just turn to Evolution for future repairs.”

“WOW! Talk about exceptional service! Let’s face it, most pool companies don’t exactly have a reputation for stellar customer service—especially after the big freeze of 2021 left so many of us pool owners scrambling for repairs. But Evolution Leak Detection completely changed my expectations. I started noticing I had to fill up my pool every other day—a clear sign something was wrong. Suspecting a leak, I reached out to my regular pool service company for help. They referred me to another company, but after multiple calls and an online form submission, I got… crickets. Frustrated, I turned to Google and searched for pool leak detection companies in McKinney. That’s when I found Evolution Leak Detection, and I’m so glad I did! I submitted an online form, and Lacey called me back right away. She listened to my concerns, quickly scheduled a visit, and had Dakota, their leak detection specialist, at my house within the same week. Sure enough, Dakota confirmed my suspicion: there was a leak. Lacey then provided me with a repair quote that was much more reasonable than I expected. She even got me scheduled for repairs without any hassle. Dakota came back, fixed the leaks, and sent me ”

“Our pool had a small leak and we were recommended Evolution Leak Detection. Once we contacted them they arrived within the hour to carry out a thorough investigation. The repairs were carried out a couple of days later. I found them extremely professional and knowledgeable and the communication was top class! I highly recommend this company.”

“Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair was outstanding from start to finish. They were responsive, professional, and extremely thorough in diagnosing the issue. The team clearly explained what was going on, provided a straightforward solution, and completed the repair efficiently and cleanly. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with great communication and customer service, but Evolution does exactly that. I highly recommend them to anyone needing leak detection or pool repairs—you can trust they’ll get it done right.”

“Dakota did an awesome job at getting our pool leaks repaired. Evolution was recommended by our weekly pool cleaning service and they were quick to diagnose the issue and offer a solution to the multiple leaks we had from our pool settling over the past few years. The leaks were repaired about a month ago and I haven’t had to refill the pool yet! 🙌 Dakota and Lacey are extremely professional and were very helpful with any questions I had! They explained everything that needed to be done and provided a reasonable price for everything!”

“Dakota and Lacy were great to Work with. He was efficient, organized and found and repaired our pool leak. While other companies wanted to replace the skimmers, Dakota was able to repair them and saved me money!! I highly recommend this company!!”

“Dakota was fantastic. He came out to diagnose some persistent leaks in my pool and quickly identified multiple issues I had not been able to find on my own. He was professional, efficient, and clearly experienced. He took the time to explain what he found and what my options were. If I have any leaks in the future (hopefully not), I'll be sure to reach out again!”

“Lacy, Dakota and the entire team are a wonderful group to work with to solve the problems you are having with your pool. They are easy to communicate with, they explain every step in the process, they are fair and reasonable. If I need future repairs, I will call them first.”

“This is the company you want. I am not an easy person to please and I expect things to be done right. Communication is extremely important to me. After the winter freeze, i found my filter and several valves completely destroyed, leaving my pool dead in the water. I called Dakota with Evolution Leak Detection and he got my parts on order right away. I had a miscommunication on my side and was very short with Dakota, simply because I misunderstood the parts situation because of the freeze. Despite my attitude, Dakota was determined to work with me and turn a negative into a positive. He clarified everything with me and helped me understand what I was missing about the situation. The kindness and patience he showed me, despite me being hard to work with, were amazing. He was able to come out and do my repairs faster than he originally anticipated and he followed up the very next day to make sure everything was going good. His communication was awesome. His work was fast and excellent, and after nearly 3 months of having my filter down I had blue water the very next day after his repairs. Astounding. Thank you so much for working with me Dakota, and I highly suggest anyone looki”

It’s rare to find a company that genuinely cares about the quality of their work, but Evolution Leak Detection truly does. Highly recommended!”

“Fantastic experience working with the Evolution team. They were quick to come out and complete the leak detection service, giving a clear itemized estimate of the work to be done. Dakota walked us through various options and short term/long term needs to stay within our budget. The following week, the repairs were underway. Doug spent the ENTIRE day getting all the repairs done. So impressed!! We were anxious about a section of our pavement that had to be cut out and new concrete was poured after the repairs were done- we’re so impressed with how they managed to minimize the differing appearance. Ultimately the work was done quickly, with transparent pricing, and great communication. Absolutely would work with the team again!”

“I didn’t end up using this business for paid services but I felt truly compelled to leave a review because of the incredible kindness and care shown to me by Dakota and Lacey. I’m in town visiting my dad for Christmas from UT Austin. Late at night, when I had an issue with my spare tire, a man from this family-owned business immediately helped me. He noticed my spare was dangerously low on air, and took the time to fill it up. He and his wife were both there and treated me with such warmth and generosity. They filled my spare, checked the air levels in all of my tires filling them up as needed. They let me know honestly that another tire was getting thin to make sure that I was aware and I should get it replaced soon, and even checked my oil just to make sure everything was okay. This was all out of genuine concern. They went above and beyond to help me during the holidays in kindness I never expected and I am incredibly grateful. This is a small family-owned business that truly cares about people, despite being strangers, not just transactions. If you’re looking for a business run by genuinely good, compassionate people who treat others with kindness and integrity, I can’t reco”

“So grateful for Evolution Leak Detection. Dakota was prompt and fast at detecting and repairing our leak. We are grateful for his service and highly recommend him. He also put in new deck seal for us and it looks better than the original seal did. Thank you Dakota and Lacy!”

“Let me start by saying I own a small pool cleaning business in Richardson, TX. I have hired many local leak detection companies in the past. My experience with Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair was by FAR the best. Dakota preformed a leak detection for one of my clients and had the problem diagnosed very quickly and answered every question I had. Dakota is a friendly and knowledgeable professional who truly cares about his customers. If you need a trustworthy company to provide an affordable leak detection or repair, call Evolution! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Going forward I will only trust Evolution Leak Detection & Pool Repair. - Gary Foster Lone Star Aqua Kings”
