How Leak Detection Works in Wildwood
When it comes to swimming pools, even a small leak can cause a ton of issues. The average pool holds thousands of gallons of water so even a pinhole leak means severe water loss. A leak is not only inconvenient, it can cause a ton of damage to surrounding areas so quick action is the key to avoiding disaster. Luckily, there are Puddle Pros in your area that are ready and available to track leaks down for you. Wildwood pool leak detection services track leaks in structures, plumbing lines and in equipment, isolating problem areas for repair.
Swimming pool leaks are complicated because they can occur just about anywhere and at any time. A sharp piece of debris will cause a tear in a pool liner while a fallen branch or other heavy materials will result in cracked poolsides. Physical damage can cause surface and structural cracks and corrosion or root damage can cause underground leaks. Some of these are easier to diagnose while others are happening behind the scenes. Local Puddle Pool specialists have all of the right technical knowledge, resources, skill and equipment to identify where your leak is coming from and isolate affected areas.
Leak Detection in Pools: Identifying a Leak
There are plenty of reasons that your swimming pool might be losing water and not all of them are leaks. When you notice that your is dropping there are a few things that you can keep an eye on, namely the water level itself. It is normal for water levels to drop a couple of inches over the course of the week, particularly when exposed to high heats or if there are many people using it. Every body that climbs out of your pool takes pool water with it. This, combined with evaporation can mean losing roughly 3 inches of water over the course of a week. If you are seeing more than this, or are losing this much in a day, don’t hesitate to call a Pro!
If your water bill is steadily rising your swimming pool might just be the culprit. Water leaks will also lead to pooling on surfaces. If you start to notice puddles forming on your property without cause, it might just be a pool leak. If you suspect that you are dealing with a leak, it might be time for a bucket test. This involves taking a bucket of pool water and setting it next to your basin. When exposed to the same conditions, the water level should drop the same way in the bucket and in the pool itself. If water levels are significantly lower in pools, you are likely dealing with a leak.
In addition to higher water bills and daily running costs, water leaks put strain on internal systems. This means components and equipment have to work harder, putting undue wear and tear on these areas. Strain will shorten the lifespan of necessary components. Water will also displace soil under and around swimming pools, shifting foundations and weight dispersion which can lead to breakage and the need for costly repairs and replacements.
Pool Leak Detection: How Puddle Experts Get Results
There is a big difference between noticing that you are losing water and finding the source. The longer that a leak is allowed to persist the worse your issue becomes, ranging from small scale water damage to shifting foundations for pool structures, pool decking and even homes! When you need to find a leak, don’t waste a minute and call a Puddle Pro instead. Our team of pool experts can diagnose water loss in vinyl liners, concrete pools, water lines, pool equipment and more in residential and commercial pools.
By offering pressure testing as well as dye tests, Puddle Pros can identify areas of water loss, as well as isolating affected areas and helping to organize repair services in the Wildwood area. Calling an expert for your swimming pool leak detection helps to avoid disaster, so call a Pro today!
In addition to water leak detection, Puddle Pool Services offer routine cleanings, single service calls, inspections, hot tub care and seasonal maintenance to keep your systems running smoothly all year long.
Wildwood Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.

Puddle pools has been servicing our pool for several years. Rick has always been very responsive and our tech, Jacob, is fantastic. I have recommended him to all our friends with pools.
I just want to share the amazing support I have received from Puddle Pools. Let's start with Anne Marie...I was having pump issues and the pump needed to be replaced. While we waited for the part, Anne Marie took care of the pool and made sure it remained clean despite the pump not working. Then the pump was replaced and it went great but Puddle Pools was receiving a warning light, so they came out proactively to repair it. Well, Brayden spent a good two hours working the issue and would not stop until it was resolved. Then I was having problems with the lights and they needed to be programmed. He again troubleshooted it and now they are fine. Lastly Rick and Sheila, I can't thank them enough for their proactive approach. When I got the email on how to properly handle the cold weather. I was like WOW that was so helpful!! Thank you Puddle Pools you guys are amazing!!!
We couldn't be happier with the services provided by Puddle Pool Services and in particular Jacob P! He does a great job, always pleasant and friendly! Thank you!
