Signs You May Have a Pool Leak

• Losing more than a quarter inch of water per day beyond normal evaporation
• Adding water more than once a week to maintain the pool level
• Wet or soggy ground around the pool equipment, deck, or yard
• Cracks in the pool shell, deck, or coping that have appeared or worsened
• Loose or lifting pool tiles from water movement behind the surface
• Air bubbles in the return lines when the pump is running
• Equipment running continuously to maintain water level or pressure
• Unusually high water bills without increased household usage

The Bucket Test —
Is It Evaporation or a Leak?

Before calling, confirm your pool is actually losing more water than normal evaporation accounts for. Fill a bucket with pool water and place it on a pool step so the water level inside the bucket matches the pool water level outside it. Mark both levels. After 24-48 hours compare the two. If the pool has dropped more than the bucket your pool has a leak. If they have dropped the same amount the loss is likely evaporation. In [CITY]’s climate evaporation can account for a quarter inch or more per day — the bucket test removes that variable before detection begins.

Tip: Run the bucket test with the pool equipment both on and off for 24 hours each. If the pool loses more water with the equipment running the leak is likely in the plumbing, returns, or equipment pad. If it loses more with the equipment off the leak is more likely in the shell or fittings. This information helps us narrow the detection process before we arrive.

Pool Leak Detection Methods

We locate pool leaks using pressure testing of the plumbing lines, dye testing at fittings, lights, and returns to identify shell and fitting leaks, and electronic listening equipment for buried plumbing leaks. Most pool leaks fall into one of three categories — shell and structural leaks, plumbing and fitting leaks, or equipment pad leaks — and each requires a different detection approach. We work through each systematically until the source is confirmed.

Common Pool Leak Sources
in [CITY]

• Shell cracks — structural cracks in plaster, gunite, or fiberglass from ground movement, age, or settling
• Fitting and light leaks — leaks at return fittings, skimmer connections, light niches, and main drains where fittings meet the shell
• Plumbing line leaks — leaks in buried supply and return lines between the pool and equipment pad
• Equipment pad leaks — leaks at the pump, filter, heater, or valve connections on the equipment pad
• Skimmer leaks — separation between the skimmer body and the pool shell, common in older pools

Pool Leak Repair
in [CITY]

Once the leak source is confirmed we walk you through the repair options for your specific situation:

• Structural crack repair — hydraulic cement, epoxy injection, or replastering depending on the crack type and location
• Fitting and light niche repair — resetting, resealing, or replacing fittings, gaskets, and light housings
• Plumbing line repair — targeted excavation and repair of buried supply or return lines at the confirmed leak location
• Equipment pad repair — repair or replacement of leaking pump seals, valves, or connections at the equipment pad
• Skimmer repair — resealing or replacing the skimmer body connection to the pool shell

The pool must be full, clean, and clear at the time of the detection visit for accurate results.
