Why Tampa Pools Need Leak Detection
Even a small swimming pool leak can result in serious damage. As much as you might want to celebrate the swimming season with a pool party, you can’t do it if water is leaking out. It can be tough to diagnose pool leaks and even harder to figure out what type of leak you are dealing with. Water loss will only get worse over time, so it’s better to schedule your Tampa pool leak detection service at the first sign of trouble.
Tampa, FL, is home to countless swimming pools and spas. As a pool owner, you know how tricky it can be to maintain water systems. Luckily, local Puddle technicians have all of the necessary tools, techniques and equipment to identify to presence of pool leaks, as well as isolate the problem area for repair. Stop water loss in its tracks with one phone call to your local Puddle Pro.
Swimming Pool Leak Detection: Common Signs of Pool Leaks & How to Spot Them
We’ve all been there: the sun is out and all you want to do is cannonball into your pool, but when you pull back the cover, water levels are low! At the height of summer, outdoor temperatures in Tampa will exceed 90 degrees. High heat will cause pool water to evaporate and burn off. Hot weather is always the ideal time to take a dip, so it’s common for more swimmers to be stepping in and out of pools. There’s a big difference between natural water loss and water loss caused by a leak, but Puddle is here to help you tell the difference.
Low water levels are the most obvious sign of leaks in pools. If water levels drop too low and can’t reach the skimmer drain, debris has nowhere to go, and chemically treated water can’t circulate. It’s common to see between 2-4 inches of natural water loss over a week. If you have to constantly refill pool water, it’s time for a bucket test.
Some other symptoms of a swimming pool leak include higher than expected utility bills, the inability to balance chemical levels and puddles of standing water nearby.
Puddle Pool Services: Understanding the Pool and Spa Leak Detection Process
Figuring out that there is a leak in your swimming pool is an important part of the repair process, but it’s far from the last step! Next up is discovering the location of the leak. Professional pool services use developed techniques and state-of-the-art leak detection equipment to identify the type of leak you’re dealing with and plan for necessary pool repairs.
Puddle technicians will apply pressure tests and dye tests to identify whether you’re dealing with a leak in structures or plumbing.
Plumbing Leaks: Damage or leaks within plumbing lines or equipment are typically more difficult to assess. In an inground pool, the majority of plumbing lines run underground where they’re hard to see. Pressure tests apply streams of air to plumbing lines. If this air comes into contact with damage, it will create visible bubbles in the return lines.
Structural Leaks: Includes any water leaks caused by damage to the foundation or vinyl liner. Technicians switch off pool pumps and strategically place vibrant dyes in pool basins. Damage and leaks will create a vacuum that draws dye in, creating a visible trail right to the source of the problem.
Tampa Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Tampa?
Only after dechlorinating. City of Tampa Stormwater lists the proper disposal method for pool discharges as "dechlorinate before discharging to storm sewer" and says it is illegal to put anything other than stormwater into the storm drainage system, since many drains outfall to Tampa Bay or the Intracoastal Waterway. Check with the City before draining.
Do Tampa watering limits apply to pool water features?
The City of Tampa watering page limits fountains to four hours a day, but that limit exempts a feature that is an integral part of a swimming pool circulation system. Lawn watering is limited to once a week by address. Southwest Florida Water Management District shortage orders can tighten the hours, so check the city page before a large fill.
Which Tampa neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Tampa, including South Tampa, Davis Island, Northwest Tampa, Westchase, Town ‘N’ Country and Citrus Park. The full list of areas is on our Tampa page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Can you test the plumbing lines as well as the pool shell?
Yes. Pressure testing checks the plumbing lines individually, which is how we tell a plumbing leak from a leak in the shell or liner. It is worth testing all the lines even when the leak seems obvious, because a second leak is easy to miss.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
My pool has never looked better! I couldn’t be happier with the service. They are always on time, reliable, professional, and most importantly, honest. It’s such a great feeling knowing my pool is being taken care of by a company I can truly trust. I’m an extremely satisfied customer and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional, dependable pool service!
Puddle Pool Services goes above and beyond consistently. The communication and service is absolutely top-notch. We have used other pool services and there is no comparison. Highly recommend this team!!
Reliable, professional, and always on time. Our pool has never looked better since starting service with this company. They do a great job keeping everything clean and balanced, and they’re always quick to respond if we have questions. It’s nice knowing we can count on them to keep the pool looking perfect year-round. Highly recommend!
Stop looking, just book them. Puddle Pool Services is a clean professional company that shows up on time and delivers. Was getting tired of our old company. Couldn’t be happier with the switch. Never seen the pool so clean.
I’m so happy with Puddle pool. I’ve had multiple pool guys that did absolutely nothing much to take care of my pool. I kept complaining of water loss, which landed on deaf ears. Once Sam and Ryan came out to evaluate my issues, they discovered my pool had a leak. I started service with them that same day. My pool is sparkling clean like never before, and my family is already enjoying swimming! They weren’t able to swim most of last summer because of pool issues. This company is awesome and I highly recommend them to everyone who is dissatisfied with their pool service. Do not make the mistake I made by waiting and wasting time. My only regret is that I didn't let the last guy go a year ago!! Take my advice and I promise you will be totally satisfied and impressed with this company and their caring staff! Happy clean swimming!!
Sam’s team is incredible! Can’t recommend them enough. Trustworthy, reliable and fast!
