How We Find Pool Leaks in St. Lucie County

In South Florida, normal evaporation is about 1/4 inch per day. If your pool drops faster than that, or your autofill never stops running, a leak is the likely cause.

Our inspection covers the pool shell, the plumbing lines and the equipment. Pressure testing isolates each line, electronic equipment pinpoints the leak, and dye testing confirms suspected spots. You get a detailed report with findings and repair recommendations.

How a leak is found

Three tests, each one making the leak show itself.

  • Pressure testing

    Each plumbing line is isolated and pressurised with water or air on Andersen equipment. A gauge that will not hold its pressure shows which line is leaking.

    About pressure testing
  • Dye testing

    Dye released in still water near a suspected spot is pulled toward the opening by the escaping water, showing the leak at a crack, fitting or light niche.

  • Electronic listening

    LeakTronics listening devices amplify the sound a leak makes underground or inside the pool walls and plumbing, so it can be located precisely.

Questions

Pool leaks in St. Lucie County

How can I tell if my pool in St. Lucie County is leaking?

South Florida heat takes some water every day, so a falling level alone is not proof. Set a bucket of pool water on a step, mark the level inside the bucket and on the pool wall, and compare a day later. If the pool drops more than the bucket, the difference is not evaporation. A pool that drops more than a quarter inch a day is worth testing.

How do you find the leak?

With three tests. Each plumbing line is isolated and pressurised to see which one will not hold. Dye released near a suspected spot is pulled into the opening by the escaping water. LeakTronics listening equipment picks up the sound of a leak underground or in the pool walls. In most cases the pool does not need to be drained.
