Pool Leak Detection
Central Florida's trusted experts in pinpointing pool, plumbing, and underground leaks without unnecessary digging or property destruction.
Uncover Underground Pool Leaks Before Major Damage Occurs
Even a small 1/8-inch leak in your swimming pool or underground water supply line can waste up to 1,000 gallons of water per day. Over time, this leads to skyrocketing water bills, deck erosion, void formation beneath pool shells, and severe structural settling.
At Florida Leak Locators, we perform a full leak test, which includes testing all your underground plumbing, diving your pool (even during the winter months!) to locate the exact source of your pool leak.
Warning Signs You Have a Pool Leak:
- Water level dropping > 1/4" per day
- Unusually high water or electric bill
- High chemical usage
- Cracks in pool deck or pavers sinking
- Frequent automatic autofill operation
- Persistent algae despite chemical balance
Thorough, non-invasive detection you can count on.
Our Detection Methodology
We combine multiple diagnostic tools to guarantee fast, non-destructive results.
Visual Inspection
The certified technician will perform a complete visual inspection of all components of your pool, including the pool equipment.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Isolated testing on individual plumbing loops (skimmers, returns, drains, spa jets) to isolate whether the leak is in plumbing or the pool structure.
Fluorescent Dye
Specialized heavy-bodied non-toxic dye is drawn into microscopic structural cracks, light niches, tile lines, skimmer throats, pool returns, and vacuum fittings.
Underwater Scuba
Certified technicians will dive your pool to inspect plaster, vinyl seams, main drain sumps, and light niches up close.
Pool Leak Detection FAQs
Common questions about finding pool leaks in Central Florida.
You can perform a simple 24-hour Bucket Test! Fill a 5-gallon bucket with pool water and place it on your pool step so it's partially submerged in the pool water. Mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool water level on the outside of the bucket. After 24 hours of normal operation, compare the water loss. If the pool water level drops significantly more than the bucket level, you have a leak. Visit our Bucket Test Guide for detailed steps.
Most residential pool leak inspections take 1 to 2 hours. The time depends on your pool's complexity and how many leaks and how hard the leak are to find. Our techs work fast to keep your day on track.
Yes, please ensure your pool is clean and clear of algae (so water clarity allows full visual and dive inspection) and filled to its normal operating level (middle of the skimmer throat). Make sure all pool equipment is accessible.
