How Leak Detection Works in Jacksonville
A pool leak doesn’t always start out large. Even a pinhole leak will get worse over time and will eventually be enough to cause widespread damage across a home or commercial property. Managing water leaks in swimming pools is a complicated process but local Puddle technicians make it look easy! Experienced Puddle techs provide thorough Jacksonville pool leak detection for inground and above ground pools of all sizes, shapes and styles.
Anything that can hold water runs a risk of leaks including a pool, spa or hot tub. A swimming pool holds thousands of gallons of water at any given time. If you’re dealing with a leak all of this water needs somewhere to go! If you suspect that your swimming pool is losing water don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle pro to track down and isolate problem areas before you’re dealing with a disaster.
How to Identify Pool Leaks: A Quick Guide For Pool Owners
One of the biggest obstacles in detecting leaks in pools is identifying water loss. It’s normal for the water levels in swimming pools to drop over the course of a week. High heats cause evaporation and a high rate of use means swimmers are splashing water out with every cannonball. On average pool owners should expect to see between 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week.
If you find yourself having to refill water levels on a daily basis or water is dropping faster than expected it’s a good idea to mark the level and monitor it over a couple of days. Measuring water levels can be tricky so if you aren’t having much success with it, there are a few other clues that you can fall back on. Pool owners have an idea of what their average utility and water bills should be. If these numbers skyrocket without an explanation your pool might be the culprit. Water puddles forming in the surrounding areas of your swimming pool can be a sign of underground leaks.
Waiting to schedule a professional pool leak detection service will result in serious damage. Puddle technicians are happy to offer quick response times and service so you can pinpoint problem areas and organize necessary pool leak repair.
The Puddle Technique: How We Get Results
With access to advanced technology and years of experience under our belts there is no leak that our Puddle crews can’t find. Pool leaks can be divided into either structural leaks or plumbing leaks. Both of these are major issues and each of them has a specific type of testing that works best.
Dye testing is best suited for tracking down waters loss caused by damage. Common culprits for structural damage include slab leaks and tears in vinyl liners. Dye tests involve turning off circulation systems and applying colored dyes to still water. Dyes are attracted to the vacuum created by a leak and will leave a trail that leads right to the problem area.
Pressure testing is the best method to identify leaks inside internal water systems. This process involves applying a stream of airflow to return lines. If there is a leak inside the pool plumbing lines it will create bubbles that can be spotted visually or, in the case of underground leaks, saturated soil will make bubbling noises.
Jacksonville Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Jacksonville?
Only once it is dechlorinated. Jacksonville's storm water code (Sec. 754.102) excludes dechlorinated swimming pool discharges from the definition of an illicit discharge, while other discharges to the storm sewer are prohibited. The code also bans dumping yard waste and leaf litter into storm drains, so confirm with the City before draining.
How much does pool leak detection cost in Jacksonville?
A flat fee leak test, by pressure or dye, starts at $500. Your quote confirms the price for your pool.
Which Jacksonville neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Jacksonville, including Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vedra, Sawgrass, St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach and Nocatee. The full list of areas is on our Jacksonville page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
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.
I highly recommend Andrew and Puddle Pool Services! I called for a quote to replace the LED lights in my pool after getting a couple of other quotes, and I was immediately impressed with Andrew’s responsiveness and professionalism. Andrew quickly returned my call and said he would research my particular LED light issue before getting back to me. What really stood out was that he actually did exactly what he said he would do—he followed up when he promised, arrived on time for the appointment to assess the problem, provided a clear quote, and then showed up on time to complete the job. From start to finish, Andrew was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me resolve my pool lighting issue quickly. It was such a pleasure dealing with someone who communicates well and follows through on what they say they will do. I’m happy to report that my pool is shining bright again! 💡✨ Thank you, Andrew and Puddle Pool Services, for the excellent service!
Andrew and Brian are real pros. We had awful copper staining from a heater gone bad and after a five-week process, the pool looks great.
Puddle Pools Services is an excellent company that does great quality work. They provide reliable, consistent pool maintenance and always leave my pool looking perfect. My pool guy, Kaden, is outstanding. He goes above and beyond every time. On top of doing excellent work, he’s even brought my trashcan up from the curb without me asking — multiple times! That kind of thoughtful, extra-mile service really stands out and is greatly appreciated. If you’re in the Jacksonville, Florida area and looking for a dependable pool service, I highly recommend Puddle Pools Services. They’ve earned my full 5-star rating!
I work with a lot of Realtors so having a list of vendors is so important for me! We just used Puddle Pool Services for the first time and they were nothing but helpful throughout the whole process. Andrew was always very responsive which is a plus for me in the busy world of Real Estate! I highly recommend using them as your go to pool service, I know we will be!

As a local realtor, I needed a reliable pool cleaning service to maintain the pool at one of my listings over an extended period—and they absolutely delivered. The team was professional, consistent, and kept the pool looking spotless the entire time. Their attention to detail helped the home show beautifully, and I truly believe it made a difference in how the property was presented. I would highly recommend their services.
