Is your pool losing water faster than usual? You might be dealing with a hidden leak—and ignoring it can lead to costly repairs. Here are 5 signs that it’s time to call in a pool leak specialist:
1. Unexplained Water Loss
If your pool is losing more than 1/4 inch of water per day, it’s likely not just evaporation. A leak could be lurking below the surface or in your plumbing system.
2. Increased Water Bills
A sudden spike in your water bill is often a red flag. Continuous topping off of your pool could be draining your wallet due to an undetected leak.
3. Cracks in the Pool or Deck
Visible cracks in your pool surface or surrounding deck can allow water to escape, and may signal more serious structural issues forming underground.
4. Wet Spots in the Yard
Soggy or eroded areas near your pool might indicate underground leakage. Left untreated, it can lead to sinkholes or major soil damage.
5. Chemical Imbalance
If you’re constantly adjusting chemicals, a leak may be diluting your water and throwing your pool’s balance off.
Don’t wait until the damage is done. Florida Pool & Leak Specialists, Inc. uses non-invasive tools like ultrasonic detection and dye testing to find and fix leaks fast—without tearing up your deck. Schedule your inspection today for peace of mind.
