Leak Detection in Lakewood Ranch, FL
Any water leak is a problem but swimming pool leaks are in a league of their own! A pool or spa holds hundreds or thousands of gallons of water at any given time. This means even a pinhole leak can lead to serious water loss. Don’t let your water loss be a mystery, call Puddle instead! Puddle technicians provide in-depth Lakewood Ranch pool leak detection that tracks problem areas in structures and plumbing for swim spaces of all shapes and sizes.
Leak detection in pools is a complicated process. Water loss is bad for your structures and surrounding areas as well as making it incredibly difficult to keep pools clean. As a pool owner it’s easy to spot when water levels are sitting lower than usual but finding out why is easier said than done. Puddle pool leak detection services identify the presence of a leak, the type of leak you are dealing with and the location of the leak so it can be isolated for expert pool repair services.
Pool Leak Detection: Common Signs of a Leak
A leak in a swimming pool isn’t always noticeable. In fact, plumbing leaks in inground pools can go unchecked for long periods, getting worse over time and causing extensive damage. One of the biggest issues pool owners face when managing a water leak is figuring out if they are dealing with a leak at all! A drop in water level is a common sign but this can also be attributed to natural water loss. When you want to find out if you are dealing with natural water loss or a leak issue, we’ve got some helpful tips for you.
At the height of summer when temperatures are high pool water is subject to evaporation. Combine this evaporation with a high rate of swimmers and you can expect water levels to drop somewhere between 3-5 inches over the course of a week. If water and utility bills are higher than usual it can also be a sign of a leak. Drowned lawns, saturated soils and unexpected puddles forming around the pool area is also a cause for concern and you should call in the experts.
Puddle Pool Leak Detection: Expert Services in Lakewood Ranch
Swimming pool leaks are categorized as either structural or plumbing leaks. In an inground pool the majority of plumbing lines are underground so it can be tough to tell if there is an issue. Puddle technicians are equipped with state of the art tools for the most effective testing methods.
Pressure Test: When testing for leaks in an internal water system a pressure test is a pool owner’s best friend! This process checks plumbing lines and important pool equipment for signs of leaks by applying a steady stream of air flow to lines. If air comes into contact with a crack or opening caused by corrosion or damage it will create air bubbles. These bubbles will show up in return lines and can be tracked visually. In the case of an underground leaks saturated soil will make gurgling sounds when exposed to air flow.
Dye Test: Structural damage in a swimming pool can result in slow, small water leaks. A slab crack or even tears in a vinyl liner can create leaks that go unchecked over long periods. By turning off the pool pump water will go still. Once pool water isn’t moving colored dyes are strategically placed in the basin. Because dye is heavier than standard pool water it will be attracted to the vacuums created by any leaks. This creates a trail of dye that can be tracked visually.

Lakewood Ranch Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
How hot do Lakewood Ranch summers get for pools?
NOAA normals for Bradenton 5 ESE show about 115.7 days a year at or above 90 F, with July highs averaging 92.0 F. Water level and chemistry need closer attention through the summer. Unexplained water loss is worth checking too.
How do SWFWMD water shortage orders affect Lakewood Ranch pools?
Under a Southwest Florida Water Management District Modified Phase III order, lawn watering is limited to one day a week by the last digit of the address and aesthetic fountains to four hours a day. The order applies to private wells too. The District FAQ does not address filling swimming pools and the City of Lakewood Ranch has adopted the SWFWMD restrictions, so check with the City before a large fill.
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.
Why does a small leak matter?
A pool holds a large volume of water, so a small leak adds up quickly. Beyond the water bill, a leak makes chemistry impossible to hold because treated water keeps escaping, it strains the pump and circulation system and water escaping into the ground can damage landscaping and, over time, the surrounding structure.
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!
