Why Palm Beach Pools Need Leak Detection
There is no faster way to ruin the swim season than by having your pool spring a leak. Swimming pool leaks should not be underestimated. Instead of a bit of water loss here or there, even a pinhole leak can lead to hundreds of gallons of pool water spilling out. This isn’t just bad for the pool itself, it’s bad for the surrounding area too.
Don't get stuck dealing with flooded basements, drowned lawns or water damage when you can call a local Puddle Pro to stop water loss in its tracks. Professional Palm Beach County pool leak detection identifies leaks, isolates problem areas and can help to solve the issues.
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
It can be tough to tell if your pool is losing water or not. Whether outdoors or inside natural water loss just happens. High heats and a high rate of use means pool water either evaporates or is carried out on bodies. It’s easy enough to grab a garden hose and add a bit of water but you should’t have to do this on a daily basis! Anything more than 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week and you should be calling an expert for pool leak detection services.
In addition to a drop in water level there are a few key signs that you should be on the lookout for when it comes to identifying a pool leak. One of the most obvious is your water bill. You know what your average utility bills cost on a monthly basis. If you start to see a spike in water consumption and cost, there is a leak somewhere inside your system. If you start to see water pooling nearby to the poolside, it is another sign of a leak.
A bucket test is a tried, tested and true way of identifying whether or not your system is losing water. This test involves setting a bucket of water next to a swimming pool so the two are exposed to the elements in the same way. If, after a couple of days, the water level in the pool has dropped more than the water level in the bucket, you are dealing with a leak.
Diagnosing a leak in your pool can be a complicated and frustrating process — and that’s only step 1! Next up is identifying the source of the leak, which takes practice, experience, a trained eye and state of the art equipment. If this sounds like an undertaking, that’s because it is! Luckily, you can rely on your local pool leak detection company to handle all of the heavy lifting for you — just call Puddle!
The Puddle Guarantee: Swimming Pool Leak Detection That You Can Count On
The longer you wait to address a pool leak, the worse that leak becomes. That means having to deal with water damage, rot, flooding, leaks and the high cost of having to repair your pool and the surrounding area. After years of industry experience Puddle technicians have developed a pool leak detection system that works.
Pressure Testing: This type of testing is best suited for tracking down plumbing leaks. Identifying plumbing leaks in above ground pools is often simple enough because plumbing lines are outside and visible. When dealing with an inground pool it becomes much more complicated. A pressure test applies a steady stream of air to lines. If this airflow comes into contact with a crack or leak it will create air bubbles that will show up in return lines. These can be tracked visually, or in the case of an underground leak, this air will create gurgling sounds in the saturated soil nearby.
Dye Tests: These tests are used for tracking down structural leaks. For inground pools, shifting foundations can cause concrete to crack, allowing water to seep out. A tear in a vinyl liner also counts as a structural leak. The way to track down these problem areas is by turning off the pool pump and waiting for water to go still. Once settled, colored dyes are strategically placed inside the pool basin. Dyes weigh more than standard pool water so they are attracted to the vacuum created by a water leak. After a few minutes you’ll start to see a color trail leading right to the source of the problem.
There is never a bad time to schedule a pool leak detection service but sooner is always better. The second you start to notice your pool water level is dropping or your water bill is spiking upward, call a local Puddle technician or visit us online to schedule your next service. Each member of the Puddle team is highly trained and experienced, so you get the peace of mind that comes from trusted experts and the benefit of affordable rates and transparent pricing.
Palm Beach Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Should I drain my pool before a hurricane in Palm Beach?
No. UF/IFAS Extension advises keeping the pool full and not draining or partially draining it before a storm, since saturated ground can damage an emptied shell. It also advises shocking before and again after the storm and never putting patio furniture in the pool. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30 and peaks around Sept. 10, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Can I drain my pool into the street in Palm Beach?
Only with a permit. The Town of Palm Beach requires a Dewatering ROW Permit to discharge into roadways or alleys and allows no chemicals or sediments into its stormwater system. Chlorinated water must be pretreated or left without added chlorine for at least 7 days, then run through a closed conduit (blue flex pipe) in the right of way down to a Town inlet. Contact the Town before draining.
How much does leak detection cost in Palm Beach?
Flat Fee Diagnostic (Pressure/Dye Test): From $198 USD. Full Electronic Detection: $198 to $398 USD. Your quote confirms the price for your pool.
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.
Puddle pool service does such an excellent job keeping my pool, clean and perfect looking. With an open air pool it has so many challenges like leaves bugs and it gets its fair share of dust and dirt. Puddle Pool Service keeps my pool, running clean and beautiful all year long definitely would refer them to anyone needing a pool service
Thank you Brian for assigning Brandon to our pool. It has never looked better. we saw Brandon do things to our pool that our old company has never done in 6 years. Our pool now looks incredible thanks again
So happy to find a pool service company that provides excellent, attentive and professional service. Also being informed of which chemicals and quantities they use on each and every visit is a plus. My pool looks better than it ever has since I started their monthly service. The customer service is top notch and they take their pool service and customer service very seriously.
We were in need of a pool service and had a few existing pool problems. I contacted three pool companies and Puddle Pool Service responded quickly, professionally and with expertise. We are new to their service however, initially I would give them a 10. Excellent customer service.
We recently started using Puddle Pool Services and we are thrilled. Our tech does a great job and provides a complete report with details on chemical levels, chemicals added as well as work that was completed including photos. Highly recommend!
We had used another company for the last 8 years. Switched pool service to Puddle Pools. Pool cleaning service was done as anticipated. I was provided with an email detailing all that was done by technician. Service cost is reasonable for each month and look forward to having my pool and hot tub looking clean and sparkling as expected. Keep up the great work. PPS.

My pump stopped working and I wanted to get it fixed as quick as possible .Brandon showed up within an hour figured out I needed a new pump and came and replaced it. Great, thanks to him and Puddle Pool services.
Technician checked the entire pool and after cleaning it reviewed with me the chemicals he was pouring in. Only first visit but impressed with Brendan.
Amazing job on our pool! Crystal clear water due to the very detailed cleaning and chemical testing. Love having the report to see exactly what they did to my pool. 10/10 recommend!
