Orlando Pool Leak Detection 

Orlando runs on swimming pools! From backyard pools to commercial swim spaces, there’s never a bad time for a cannonball — until you’re dealing with a pool leak! If a pool is leaking, it’s impossible to balance water chemistry, bills are higher and displaced water will start to damage surrounding areas. Water leaks will only get worse over time, but calling Puddle for your Orlando pool leak detection services stops water loss in its tracks. 

The average swimming pool holds thousands of gallons of water at any given time. Even a pinhole leak can mean severe water loss and can result in serious damage. A leaking pool can quickly result in flooded basements, drowned lawns, mould, rot and water damage. Don’t wait for a small leak to get worse when local Puddle crews have the tools and technique to identify leaks, isolate problem areas and organize repairs. 

Swimming Pool Leak Detection: Identifying Signs of Leaks 

Part of what makes swimming pool leak detection so tricky is figuring out if you’re dealing with a leak at all. In a hot climate, it’s easy to mistake evaporation and natural water loss for a water leak. If you’re having a hard time monitoring water levels, just call a local Puddle Pro. 

High temperatures and a high rate of use mean pool water is evaporating and being pushed out of basins. It’s common to see anywhere between 2-5 inches of water loss over a week. If you’re seeing more than that or find yourself having to refill water daily, it’s time for a bucket test. This process involves setting a bucket of water next to the pool and marking the water level in each. When exposed to the elements in the same way, water levels should drop equally in both areas. If there is a greater rate of water loss in the pool, you’re dealing with a leak. 

Some other symptoms of a potential pool leak include higher than expected utility bills, inability to balance water chemistry and puddles of standing water near the sides. 

Pool Leak Detection Services in Orlando: How Puddle Gets It Done 

Both inground and above ground swimming pools are at risk of leaks. The majority of pool leaks can be divided into two categories: structural or plumbing leaks. Puddle leak detection specialists arrive on-scene with the right tools and techniques to diagnose what type of leak you’re dealing with and where the problem is stemming from. 

Structural Pool Leaks: Pool pumps are turned off, and technicians will wait until the water is still. Once the water is calm, vibrant dyes are applied to the pool basins. Damage to structures creates a vacuum that pulls water in. Dyes are carried right to the source of the problem, leaving a visible trail behind. 

Plumbing Leaks in Pools: Swimming pools rely on functional plumbing systems. If there is a leak in the line or around a piece of damaged equipment, it will have a ripple effect on functionality and energy efficiency. Puddle technicians apply a stream of air to plumbing lines. If there is a leak in the line, this air will create bubbles that are visible in the return lines. 

If you’re in the market for expert Orlando leak detection services, all it takes is one call to Puddle. You can count on excellent results, top customer service and affordable rates.
