How Leak Detection Works in Boca Raton
Summer might be the season for fun in the sun, but there’s nothing fun about a swimming pool leak. Even a small pool leak can result in serious and widespread damage. This includes everything from drowned lawns, rotten decking, flooded basements and water damage. Quick action is the key to avoiding disaster, so call Puddle for your Boca Raton pool leak detection services.
Pool leaks can happen in many ways, but no matter how you got it, it’s important to stop water loss as quickly as possible. Instead of wasting time on trial and error, call in the experts at the first sign of water loss. Quick action can be the difference between a simple patch and having to dig up lawns for foundation repair.
Leak Detection in Pools: Signs & Symptoms of Water Leaks
One of the most difficult aspects of pool leaks is figuring out whether or not you are dealing with a leak at all. Water loss is common during periods of high heat or when pools are being used regularly. Hot temperatures cause water to evaporate while every dive and cannonball is sending pool water splashing out. On average, pool owners should expect to see 3-5 inches of water loss over a week. If you’re seeing more than this, it’s time to call Puddle!
If you’re struggling to measure water levels, you can always rely on the bucket test. This simple test involves taking a bucket of water and setting it next to the pool, and marking the water level in each. When exposed to the elements in the same way, the rate of water loss should be the same. Check the markings after a couple of days, and if the level has dropped significantly more in the pool than the bucket, you’ve got a leak.
In addition to the water level, there are a couple of other indicators that pool owners can keep an eye out for. You probably have a pretty good idea of what your average monthly utility bills are. If water usage and utilities spike without explanation, don’t hesitate to call your local Puddle Pro.
Swimming Pool Leak Detection: The Best Ways to Find a Leak and Stop Water Loss
For pool owners in south Florida, the best way to deal with a leak in your pool, spa or hot tub is to let the experts handle it for you! Puddle technicians are equipped with state-of-the-art tools, combined with years of industry experience, that identify both structural and plumbing leaks in swimming pools.
There are two main types of testing involved in swimming pool leak detection which pressure tests and dye tests. Each of these addresses a different aspect of swimming pools, using specialty techniques to track down water leaks.
Dye Tests: Physical damage to pool structures and/or vinyl liners will draw water in. By turning off the pool pump and waiting for the water to go still, it’s possible to track down these problem areas using colored dyes. Puddle technicians will apply dyes strategically and watch to see how they react. If dyes are pulled in one direction, it is a sign of a leak.
Pressure Testing: The best way to address leaks in pool plumbing is with a pressure test. Puddle technicians apply a steady stream of air to plumbing lines. If the air comes into contact with physical damage, it will create air bubbles. These bubbles are visible in return lines and are a sure sign that you’re dealing with a water leak. In the case of underground leaks, air flow will create gurgling sounds in saturated soils that can be tracked down.
Detecting and repairing pool leaks are two sides of the same coin. You can’t have one without the other! If Puddle technicians spot water loss and the source of the leak is a small tear in a liner, we can fix that for you. In the case of plumbing or structural leaks, Puddle crews will refer you to reliable pool leak repair specialists in your area. Having a professional handle your structural, plumbing and equipment repair will prevent further damage.
Boca Raton Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
How should I drain my pool in Boca Raton?
Florida DEP guidance authorizes dechlorinated pool discharges: let the water stand at least 48 hours after the last chlorine or neutralize it, confirm no detectable free chlorine and keep pH 6.5 to 8.5 with clear water. Direct the flow over vegetation, do not send it to the sanitary sewer without the treatment facility's permission and avoid draining when watering restrictions are in place. Check with the City before draining.
Do Boca Raton watering rules limit pool filling?
Boca Raton's year round ordinance limits landscape watering to 3 days a week between 4 pm and 10 am by address, consistent with the South Florida Water Management District rule. Neither the city page nor the SFWMD page mentions pool filling, so ask the City's utility before a large fill and have unexplained water loss checked rather than topping up often.
How much does leak detection cost in Boca Raton?
Flat Fee Diagnostic (Pressure/Dye Test): From $198 USD. Full Electronic Detection: $198 to $398 USD. Your quote confirms the price for your pool.
Is leak detection invasive? Will you need to dig up my yard?
Detection itself is non invasive. Pressure and dye testing are done from the pool and the equipment, without digging. Excavation only comes into the conversation if a leak is confirmed in an underground line, and then the testing tells us where to open up rather than searching blindly.
What happens if you find a leak?
We show you where it is and explain the repair options. Many leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights or small cracks can be repaired directly. Larger structural or underground plumbing repairs are quoted separately so you can decide with the full picture.
Puddle pool service does such an excellent job keeping my pool, clean and perfect looking. With an open air pool it has so many challenges like leaves bugs and it gets its fair share of dust and dirt. Puddle Pool Service keeps my pool, running clean and beautiful all year long definitely would refer them to anyone needing a pool service
Thank you Brian for assigning Brandon to our pool. It has never looked better. we saw Brandon do things to our pool that our old company has never done in 6 years. Our pool now looks incredible thanks again
So happy to find a pool service company that provides excellent, attentive and professional service. Also being informed of which chemicals and quantities they use on each and every visit is a plus. My pool looks better than it ever has since I started their monthly service. The customer service is top notch and they take their pool service and customer service very seriously.
We were in need of a pool service and had a few existing pool problems. I contacted three pool companies and Puddle Pool Service responded quickly, professionally and with expertise. We are new to their service however, initially I would give them a 10. Excellent customer service.
We recently started using Puddle Pool Services and we are thrilled. Our tech does a great job and provides a complete report with details on chemical levels, chemicals added as well as work that was completed including photos. Highly recommend!
We had used another company for the last 8 years. Switched pool service to Puddle Pools. Pool cleaning service was done as anticipated. I was provided with an email detailing all that was done by technician. Service cost is reasonable for each month and look forward to having my pool and hot tub looking clean and sparkling as expected. Keep up the great work. PPS.

My pump stopped working and I wanted to get it fixed as quick as possible .Brandon showed up within an hour figured out I needed a new pump and came and replaced it. Great, thanks to him and Puddle Pool services.
Technician checked the entire pool and after cleaning it reviewed with me the chemicals he was pouring in. Only first visit but impressed with Brendan.
Amazing job on our pool! Crystal clear water due to the very detailed cleaning and chemical testing. Love having the report to see exactly what they did to my pool. 10/10 recommend!
