Enter the Pool Industry’s Most Underserved Niche
Own a franchise built by the #1 expert in pool leak detection and powered by the best equipment in the business.
With over 10.7 million pools in the U.S., and 5% actively leaking, the need for skilled leak detection is massive — and growing. But here’s the real opportunity: there are only a few companies doing it at scale and none of them have what we do.
Level Up Leak Detection is a first-of-its-kind franchise powered by LeakTronics — the global leader in pool leak detection technology — and founded by Darren Merlob, leading expert in pool leak detection. Darren has spent over 30+ years in the pool industry, building innovative tools, solving the hardest leak problems, and training thousands of contractors.
Now, he’s bringing that expertise to a national franchise model — one that equips owners to find and fix leaks with precision, professionalism, and profit.
This is your chance to step into a wide-open market with the tools, training, and support to build something real.
