    How Leak Detection Works in Cape Coral

    It’s common to spot a bit of water loss when dealing with a swimming pool. Your swim space is at the mercy of the elements and that can take a toll on water levels but there is a big difference between a bit of evaporation and a water leak. If you suspect that your pool has sprung a leak don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle technician. A professional Cape Coral pool leak detection service will not only identify the cause of water loss but will pinpoint the problem area. 

    Before you find a leak you have to establish whether or not you are dealing with a leak at all! At Puddle, experienced technicians make the pool leak detection process simple and efficient with state of the art tools and techniques. The longer that a water leak is allowed to persist, the worse it becomes so call Puddle at the first sign of trouble.

    How to Detect Pool Leaks 

    If you notice that the water level in your pool is dropping, don’t panic! There are several key factors that impact water levels on a daily basis. If temperatures are high you can expect to see evaporation. Pool parties and a high volume of swimmers means losing water with every cannonball. On average you should expect to see 3-5 inches of water loss on a weekly basis. If you are noticing more than this or are having to refill your pool water on a daily basis, It is cause for concern. 

    Still aren’t sure about your rate of water loss? No problem, try a bucket test! This test involves placing a bucket of water next to the pool. When exposed to the same conditions the rate of water loss should be the same. If, after a couple of days the rate of water loss in the pool is significantly more than in the bucket, you are dealing with a pool leak! Once you’ve determined that you are dealing with water loss, it is time to track down the source of the leak. 

    Puddle Pool Services: Swimming Pool Leak Detection Made Easy 

    When it comes to managing a pool or spa leak detection and repair isn’t exactly a walk in the park but our Puddle crews have it down to a science. Our technicians arrive on-scene with all of the necessary tools, skills and technique to not only locate the leak but isolate the problem area too. 

    Dye Test: This type of testing involves turning off the pool pump and letting water go still. From here, colored dyes are strategically placed inside pool basins. Dyes weigh more than water so they are attracted to the vacuum created by a leak. Our techs follow the trail right to the source of the problem. 

    Pressure Test: In the case of a plumbing leak pressure testing is the best way to pinpoint leaks inside water systems. This involves applying a steady stream of air flow to return lines. If this air comes into contact with a leak or opening it will create bubbles that can be seen inside lines. Underground leaks and saturated soil will make gurgling sounds that can be tracked down. 

    Don’t learn to live with a leaky pool when you can call a local Puddle Pro instead. Our experts are hard at work all across Southwest Florida. Don’t settle for any old pool leak detection company, call the best!

    Cape Coral Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions

    Where can I drain my pool in Cape Coral?

    Cape Coral City Code Sec. 5-24 says drained pool water must go to an approved storm sewer or other approved drain or outlet at no more than 250 gallons per minute. It must never go into the sanitary sewer. The Land Development Code also bans letting pool or hot tub water run onto a neighbor's property. Check with the City before draining.

    Can Cape Coral adjust my utility bill after a pool refill or a leak?

    Under City Code Sec. 19-19 the City may adjust the sewer portion of a bill for filling or refilling a pool whose water does not reach the sanitary sewer, once in 12 months, with a request filed within 30 business days and certified by a licensed pool contractor. A separate water bill adjustment covers leaks in service lines or plumbing once the leak is repaired and documented. Ask the City's utility billing staff which one fits your situation.

    How do Cape Coral watering rules work?

    Cape Coral City Code Sec. 19-90 sets a year round schedule of two watering days a week based on the last digit of your address, each with a fixed time window. Private wells in a designated part of northeast Cape Coral can fall under stricter South Florida Water Management District shortage orders, which do not apply to homes on city water. The rules cover landscape irrigation and do not mention pool filling.

    How do you find a pool leak?

    We test the pool in stages rather than guessing. Pressure testing tells us whether the plumbing lines are holding, and dye testing shows where water is escaping at fittings, cracks, lights, skimmers and returns. Checking both the structure and the plumbing matters, because a pool can leak from more than one place.

    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.
