Naples Pool Leak Detection

Even the smallest water leak can cause major damage, particularly when dealing with a swimming pool. It can be tough to diagnose a pool leak and even harder to find the source of the problem. The longer you wait, the worse a leak will become. Puddle technicians provide efficient and reliable Naples pool leak detection services for residential and commercial swim spaces. 

Swimming pools are made up of multiple systems, each of which is vulnerable to leaks. If you suspect that your pool is losing water, finding the source of the problem can be a real pain. Puddle crews come equipped with state-of-the-art tools and techniques designed to identify the presence of a water leak, and isolate the problem area for repair. 

Swimming Pool Leak Detection: Symptoms & Solutions 

One of the major obstacles for pool owners is identifying whether or not they are dealing with a leak or natural water loss. Hot temperatures cause water to evaporate. This is also the perfect time to swim and every swimmer will carry and splash water out. These two factors will contribute to an average water loss of 3-5 inches per week. 

It can be difficult to measure water levels but there are other signs that you can watch out for. As a homeowner, you likely know what your average utility bills are. If bills start to spike without an explanation, a pool leak might be the culprit. If unexplained water puddles start to form around pools, it could be a sign of underground water leaks. 

Swimming pool leaks can be divided into two categories: plumbing leaks and structural leaks. Identifying plumbing leaks in inground pool systems is very difficult because the majority of water lines run underground. This means visual inspections aren’t particularly effective. Luckily, Puddle technicians have an arsenal of tools and techniques to combat this. The best way to deal with a pool leak is to let a professional handle it for you. 

The Puddle Process: Leak Detection in Pools Made Easy 

The best way to manage a water leak in your pool or spa is to have an expert track it down for you! If you are seeing more than a few inches of water loss over the course of a week, it’s time to call Puddle! Our highly skilled technicians have years of experience under their belts. We’ll arrive with all of the right tools and techniques to perform both structural and plumbing tests. 

Pressure Tests: High-pressure streams of air are applied to plumbing lines during a pressure test. If there is a crack in the line or surrounding pool equipment, it will create air bubbles. These bubbles will appear in return lines and can be tracked visually. 

Dye Tests: If your swim space is showing signs of physical damage, there is likely water leaking somewhere nearby. Everything from a slab crack to missing or broken tiles allow pool water to seep out into soil. Dye tests use colored liquid to identify the presence of leaks. Pool pumps are turned off so water goes still. Once circulation systems have settled down dyes are strategically placed inside basins. If there is a leak the weight of the dye will be drawn in, leaving a visual sign that can be followed right to the source of the problem.
