Bradenton Pool Leak Detection

If a pool is leaking, it’s a major problem not just for swim spaces but for surrounding areas, too. A slow drip in an indoor faucet is annoying, but a pool leak means thousands of gallons of water slowly leaking into your yard and surrounding areas. If you suspect that your pool or spa is losing water, don’t hesitate to call Puddle Pool Services for your pool leak detection. 

Part of what makes swimming pool leak detection so complicated is that water loss can be tough to diagnose. If you aren’t sure whether you are dealing with wear and tear, physical damage, or natural water loss, our local Puddle pros are ready and available to help you out. 

Identifying Water Loss: Signs of Water Leaks 

Swimming pool leaks are difficult to track down. When dealing with an in-ground pool, plumbing lines run underground where they’re out of sight and difficult to assess. This can mean water leaks go unchecked, getting worse over time. Puddle technicians will help to identify the signs of a potential water leak in your swim space. 

Low Water Levels: One of the most obvious signs of a pool water leak is a drop in water level. The trouble is that this can happen because of the environment, physical damage, or breakage. When the temperatures are high, it’s common to see water evaporation, and a pool party will have swimmers splashing water out of the basin and onto surrounding areas. It’s common to see anywhere from 3-5 inches of water loss when pools are being used. Any more than that, and it’s time to consider that you’re dealing with a leak. 

High Water Bills: As a homeowner or property manager, you probably have an idea of how much your utility bills should be on a monthly basis. If there is a spike in water bills, there’s a chance that it is due to a pool leak. 

Pooling Water/Puddles: If you are noticing that there are unexplained puddles forming around the pool area, they might be caused by an underground leak. If pool plumbing is struggling or there is damage or corrosion within the system, water will start to seep into the soil and saturate it. This can lead to shifting and erosion that will have a negative impact on the surrounding areas. 

If you’re still struggling to pinpoint a problem, you can always turn to a tried, tested, and true method: the bucket test. A bucket test involves setting a bucket of water next to a swimming pool and marking the water level in each. If the water level in the pool drops more than the water level in the bucket, there’s a problem with your pool! 

Professional Pool and Spa Leak Detection Services in Bradenton, FL and Surrounding Areas 

Whether you’ve had a pool for 30 days or 30 years, leak issues are always hard to spot. Puddle Pool Services isn’t your average pool leak detection company. Each member of the team is highly trained, experienced, and are members of your community! Local technicians are able to provide timely service, and they know what your swim space is up against. 

Professional pool leak detection services include thorough testing of structures and internal water systems. 

Structural Leaks: Technicians use colored dyes to track down potential leaks in swimming pool structures. By turning off the pool pump and waiting for the water to go still, dyes can be strategically applied in basins. The weight of the dye is attracted to the vacuum created by water leaks. This creates a trail right to the source of the problem! 

Plumbing Leaks: In an in-ground pool, identifying plumbing leaks can be a real pain. Puddle technicians use air streams applied directly to plumbing to track and isolate problem areas. In the event that there is a crack or leak, it will create air bubbles that can be tracked visually.
