Pool Leak Detection That Finds It the First Time

Losing more than a quarter inch of water a day? Refilling your pool every few days? Your pool is trying to tell you something. We pinpoint the exact source of your leak with professional equipment and a proven process, so you only pay to fix what’s actually broken. Serving Sarasota, Venice, Bradenton, North Port, Port Charlotte and all of Southwest Florida.

How We Find Your Leak

Every inspection follows the same proven process:

  1. Pressure testing — We isolate and pressure test your plumbing lines (skimmer, main drain, returns) to determine whether the leak is underground.
  2. Precision dye testing — At the skimmer, lights, fittings, and any suspect cracks, dye reveals exactly where water is escaping the shell.
  3. Acoustic listening equipment — For underground leaks, professional listening gear lets us hear the leak through the deck, so we can mark the dig spot within inches — not tear up your whole patio.
  4. Full-pool inspection — Light niches, spa jets, pop-up heads, equipment pad — every component gets checked, because pools rarely leak in just one place.

You get a clear diagnosis and a straight answer on what the repair takes. No replacing parts on a hunch.

Signs Your Pool Is Leaking

  • You’re adding water more than once a week
  • The bucket test shows real water loss (not just evaporation)
  • Soggy grass or wet spots around the pool or equipment pad
  • Cracks in or around the pool deck, or a deck that’s lifting or settling
  • Algae growth or chemical use that won’t stabilize
  • An autofill hiding it all — with a suspiciously high water bill

Why Sarasota-Area Pools Leak

Southwest Florida is tough on pools. Shifting sandy soil settles plumbing lines, intense sun and heat cycles stress skimmers and fittings, and older pools in Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton often have decades-old plumbing at the end of its life. A small leak wastes thousands of gallons, erodes the ground under your deck, and inflates chemical and water bills every week it goes unfixed.

Leak Found. Then What?

We’re not a “detection-only” company that hands you a report and leaves. The same licensed team that finds your leak repairs it: underground plumbing repairs, skimmer replacement, main drain and return line repairs, pool light and conduit sealing, and structural crack evaluation. One call, one company, done right.

Pool Leak Detection FAQs

How much does pool leak detection cost?

Most inspections run a flat fee we quote up front — call (941) 599-3921. Because we find the exact source, the repair usually costs far less than exploratory guesswork.

How do I know it’s a leak and not evaporation?

The bucket test: set a bucket of water on a step, mark both levels, wait 24 hours. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you have a leak.

Do you have to tear up my deck?

Almost never for detection. Acoustic equipment locates underground leaks precisely, so if a dig is needed, it’s a small targeted one.

How fast can you come out?

We serve Sarasota, Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Englewood, and Wellen Park — usually within days, not weeks.
