Why Professional Detection Matters

Why Choose FloPool for Leak Detection?

Most pool leaks are invisible. A bucket test tells you water is disappearing — but not where or why. Our detection process pinpoints the exact source so repairs are targeted, not guesswork.

CPO-Certified Diagnostics

Certified Pool Operator technicians trained in pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic leak detection methods.

Professional Detection Equipment

Electronic listening devices and pressure testing rigs that find leaks hidden underground and behind pool walls.

Written Diagnostic Report

You get a written report with leak location, severity, repair options, and cost estimate before any work starts.

Same-Day Detection Available

Most leak detection visits are completed in a single visit. Call us and we'll get a technician to you quickly.

Diagnostic Applied to Repair

Our detection fee is applied toward the repair cost if you hire us. You're not paying twice.

Detection + Repair in One Visit

Many leaks can be detected and repaired the same day. Structural cracks may need additional cure time.

Signs of a Pool Leak

How to Tell If Your Pool Has a Leak

Not sure if you have a leak or just normal evaporation? Miami pools lose about 1/4 inch per day to evaporation. Anything beyond that — especially with the pump off — points to a leak.

  • Water level drops more than 1/4 inch per day

  • Wet spots in your yard near the pool or equipment pad

  • Chemicals won't balance no matter how much you add

  • Water bill spiked with no change in usage

  • Cracks visible in pool shell, deck, or tile grout

  • Pump loses prime or draws air bubbles

Our Detection Process

How We Find Pool Leaks

We use a four-step diagnostic process. No guesswork — each method isolates a different part of your pool system until we've pinpointed the exact leak location.

  • Visual inspection of pool shell, equipment pad, and surrounding areas

  • Pressure testing of plumbing lines to isolate underground leaks

  • Dye testing at suspected crack and joint locations

  • Electronic detection for leaks hidden behind walls and underground

Why Act Now

Every Day You Wait, the Damage Grows

A small pool leak doesn't stay small. The water has to go somewhere — and it's eroding soil, damaging your property, and driving up every bill associated with your pool.

  • A typical leak wastes 200-300 gallons per day — that adds up on your water bill fast

  • Water erodes soil under your deck and foundation, causing structural settling

  • Constant water loss dilutes chemicals, making safe balance nearly impossible to maintain

  • Escaping water damages landscaping, irrigation systems, and can affect neighboring properties

Pool Leak Detection FAQs

How much does pool leak detection cost?
Leak detection runs $275-375 depending on pool size and plumbing complexity. This covers pressure testing all lines, dye testing fittings and shells, and electronic acoustic detection for underground breaks. If you hire us for the repair, we credit the full diagnostic fee. Most leak repairs cost $350-800 (pipe patches, skimmer replacements). Structural leaks vary widely.
How long does pool leak detection take?
Most leak detection visits take a few hours depending on the leak's location and severity. Simple visible leaks are identified faster, while hidden leaks require more testing with pressure and electronic equipment.
What happens after you detect a pool leak?
We provide a written report identifying the leak location, severity, recommended repair method, and estimated cost. You decide whether to proceed. Many leaks can be repaired on the same visit.
Can you repair a pool leak the same day you find it?
Most leaks can be repaired same-day. Structural leaks like large cracks may need additional time for material curing. We'll give you an exact timeline during the detection visit.
How much does pool pump repair typically cost?
Depends on the failure mode. Capacitor replacements on Hayward Super Pump motors run $150-200. Shaft seal leaks cost $180-250. Motor rewinding (rarely worth it) is $250-350. Full pump replacements—we install mostly Hayward VS pumps and Pentair IntelliFlo models—range $600-1,200 including labor. We diagnose first, then quote. No surprise invoices.
Do you warranty your pool equipment repairs?
Yes, we warranty all our repair work for 90 days. New equipment installations come with full manufacturer warranties plus our installation warranty for your peace of mind.
How do I know if my pool has a leak?
Signs of pool leaks include dropping water levels (more than normal evaporation), wet spots around the pool, high water bills, or constantly adding chemicals. We use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint leaks accurately.
What is professional pool leak detection?
Professional pool leak detection uses pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic equipment to find exactly where water is escaping your pool. We check the shell, plumbing lines, and equipment connections — areas homeowners can't diagnose on their own.
What's the difference between hidden and visible pool leaks?
Visible leaks show up as cracks, wet spots, or dripping equipment. Hidden leaks occur underground in plumbing lines or behind pool walls — they waste water silently and cause soil erosion. Professional detection equipment finds both types.
How can I tell if my pool has a leak or is just evaporating?
Miami evaporation averages 1/4 inch daily, but spikes to 3/8-1/2 inch during winter cold fronts (hot pool water, cold dry air). Do the bucket test: fill a bucket, mark water levels inside and outside, wait 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, it's leaking. Pump on vs off matters—suction-side leaks only show when equipment runs. We verify with pressure testing and electronic acoustic detection.
