Pool Leak Detection FAQs
How do I know if my pool has a leak or just evaporation?
In Florida, pools can lose 1/4 inch per day to evaporation. More than that usually indicates a leak. The bucket test helps: fill a bucket with pool water, mark the levels, wait 24 hours, and compare. If the pool lost more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.
Can you find underground leaks without digging?
Yes. We use electronic listening equipment and pressure testing to locate underground leaks before any digging. This pinpoints the exact location so we only dig where necessary.
What's the most common cause of pool leaks?
In our experience, the most common leaks are at equipment fittings, skimmer bodies, light niches, and return lines. Underground plumbing leaks are less common but do happen, especially in older pools.
Will leak detection damage my pool or yard?
Our detection methods are non-invasive. We only recommend digging or deck cutting if we've confirmed an underground leak and that's the only way to repair it.
How long does leak detection take?
Most leak detection visits take 1-3 hours depending on pool complexity and how elusive the leak is. We don't leave until we've found it or determined it's not a pool leak.
