Is Your Pool Leaking? Watch for These Signs
Common warning signs include:
- Dropping water level – more than ¼ inch per day
- Wet or soggy ground around the equipment pad, decking, or yard
- Cracks in the pool shell or coping
- Higher-than-normal water bills without a change in usage
- Equipment running constantly or losing prime unexpectedly
- Loose or lifting deck tiles caused by water movement
Professional leak detection can determine whether water loss is caused by a leak or normal evaporation.

The Leak Detection Tests We Use
Every pool is different, so our technicians use a structured diagnostic process.
1. Visual Inspection – We evaluate equipment, plumbing fittings, waterline tile, coping, the backwash valve, and surrounding areas for cracks, saturation, or other indicators.
2. Dye Testing – We apply dye to potential leak points such as return fittings, drains, suction lines, skimmers, and light conduits.
3. Pressure Testing – We isolate and pressurize underground plumbing lines to identify pressure drops that may indicate a breach.
4. Electronic Sonar Testing – Specialized equipment can pinpoint suspected underground leaks beneath pavers, decking, or soil without unnecessary excavation.
5. Leakalyzer Test – The Leakalyzer measures water loss and helps distinguish true leakage from normal evaporation.
