Three Types of Pool Leaks

Every leak tells a story. Understanding where the water is escaping helps us fix it fast β€” and keeps your wallet full.

Equipment & Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from pump housings, filter tank seams, loose fittings, cracked PVC pipes, or corroded valves. These are often visible and typically the easiest to repair. Water pools around the equipment pad or visible along return lines.

Structural Leaks

Cracks in pool shell, failed skimmer gaskets, or deteriorating plaster. These leaks originate from the pool structure itself. You'll notice water loss without visible pooling, and algae may persist despite chemical treatment.

Underground Plumbing Leaks

Breaks in pressurized main lines buried beneath the deck. These leaks are hidden but often indicated by soft, settling ground, wet grass, or a spike in water bills. Finding them requires specialized pressure testing.

Six Warning Signs Your Pool Has a Leak

Don't ignore these red flags. Undetected leaks cost money and damage your equipment and home.

πŸ’§

Water Loss Beyond ΒΌ"

Losing more than ΒΌ inch of water daily is beyond normal evaporation. That's a leak.

🌱

Wet Spots Around Equipment

Soggy ground or standing water near your pump pad, filter, or heater? Equipment leak.

πŸ§ͺ

Algae Keeps Returning

Persistent algae despite chemical treatment often signals structural damage and water loss.

πŸ“Š

Rising Water Bill

A sudden jump in water charges without increased use? Your pool is likely leaking.

βš™οΈ

Autofill Running Constantly

Your autofill system kicking in too often indicates water is escaping somewhere.

🏚️

Deck Lifting or Cracking

Underground leaks push water against your deck from below, lifting or fracturing the surface.

The Bucket Test β€” DIY Leak Check

Quick Way to Confirm You Have a Leak

Not sure if you're losing water to leaks or evaporation? Try this simple test at home:

1

Fill a bucket with pool water and place it on a pool step. Mark the water level inside the bucket with a marker or tape.

2

Mark the pool water level on the pool wall at the same time, using waterproof tape or a marker.

3

Wait 24 hours without running equipment or backwashing. Don't add water.

4

Compare levels. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you have a leak. If levels match, it's evaporation.

Our Leak Detection Process

We use four proven methods to pinpoint exactly where your leak is β€” no guessing, no surprises.

Visual Inspection

We examine your entire pool system β€” pump, filter, heater, plumbing lines, and pool shell β€” for visible cracks, leaks, worn gaskets, and corrosion.

Bucket & Pressure Test

We run your bucket test and use precision pressure testing to identify whether the leak is in the return line, drain line, or both.

Equipment Pad Check

We inspect all fittings, valves, pump housing seals, and filter tank seams around your equipment pad for pinhole leaks and weeping connections.

Skimmer & Return Line Test

We isolate and test your skimmer basket gasket, return lines, and deck penetrations to confirm the source and plan the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our diagnostic service is $150, and we credit that fee toward your repair bill if you move forward with us. This includes our full four-step inspection process, bucket test, and pressure testing to identify the exact location of your leak.

Most diagnostics take 45 minutes to an hour. If we find an equipment leak during inspection, we can often repair it the same day. Structural leaks may require patching or replastering, which we schedule based on your availability and pool type.

Yes. We handle equipment leaks (fittings, pump seals, filter tank seams) in-house. For structural leaks (plaster cracks, skimmer gaskets), we provide repair recommendations and can coordinate with licensed contractors if needed. Most repairs start at $250–$500.

Normal evaporation is typically 1–1.5 inches per week in Florida's heat and humidity. Any water loss beyond ΒΌ inch per day (1.75 inches weekly) indicates a leak. Our bucket test confirms this within 24 hours.

Absolutely. We proudly serve Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and surrounding Collier County areas. Call (239) 601-0923 to confirm service availability for your address and schedule a diagnostic today.
