How Leak Detection Works in Bradenton
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.
Pool leak detection and repair services go hand-in-hand. If our crew finds a leak, we will provide referrals to reliable pool leak repair specialists in your area.
Bradenton Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drain my pool into the street in Bradenton?
No. The City of Bradenton says never to drain chlorinated water to the street or storm drain. Connecting a pool discharge pipe to the City drainage system is illegal. Let the water sit for several days, test that chlorine is at 0.01 mg/L or less, then drain it onto a lawn or garden without causing erosion. Check with the City's stormwater staff if you are unsure.
Do Bradenton watering restrictions limit fountains?
During a Southwest Florida Water Management District Phase III water shortage order, the City of Bradenton limits decorative fountains to four hours of operation a day unless exempt. Lawn watering drops to one day a week by the last digit of the address. The City's watering page does not mention pool filling.
Can I avoid a sewer charge when filling a pool in Bradenton?
Bradenton City Code Sec. 70-155 lets a customer request an exemption from the sewer charge for water used to fill a swimming pool. The request needs an affidavit with the pool's capacity plus supporting evidence such as a contractor's certificate, filed within 30 days after the bill is mailed. It can be granted once in any two year period. Ask the City's utility billing staff for the process.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
Can a hot tub or spa leak be detected the same way?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs have plumbing, jets and fittings that can leak just like a pool. The same testing approach applies, adapted to the spa's equipment.
I was in a bind due to green algae in my pool and needed someone to help on a weekend. My current pool person did not service the pool that week. I left messages with 5 companies on a Friday night and Kyle was the ONLY one who called me back. He explained the process to me in detail so I knew what to expect. He put in extra hours to make sure the pool extra clean and ready for the new buyers the following day. He was respectful, Knowledgeable and so very understanding about the emergency. I have had a pool guy for 4 Years and Kyle was able to correct what the current pool guy missed.
Kyle did a great job by turning my pool from awful green to crystle clean in three days. I will keep the number and refer Puddle Pool Services to any of my friends in the future.
Discovered Puddle Pools through internet search and could not be more pleased. Great communication, always on time, handled my request to cover my pool professionally, offering me options, helping me decide, then doing a great job. Would hire them again for anything.
Puddle Pools did a great job! They’re always on time, and they made it easy to schedule online. I highly recommend them if you need pool cleaning in Sarasota!
Puddle Pool Services helped us immensely. We've been looking for a reliable pool service company and have been through a few ( some didn't even show up!). We heard about this company from neighbors who were very happy. Highly recommend!
