Signs Your Pool Has a Leak

Normal evaporation accounts for some daily water loss, but a leak behaves differently. Water loss beyond roughly a quarter inch per day is worth investigating. A few other signs that point to an active leak:

  • Soft or spongy ground near the pool deck, coping, or basin
  • Equipment losing prime or running longer than usual to maintain pressure
  • Visible cracks on the pool shell, surrounding deck, or coping
  • An autofill system cycling more frequently than it used to
  • Unexplained increases in your water bill without a change in usage

Any one of these signs can indicate a problem. When more than one appears together, a professional inspection is the right next step.

Why Monmouth County Pool Owners Choose American Leak Detection of Central Jersey

As the Original Leak Specialists™, we developed our own proprietary detection equipment because the tools available on the market weren’t built for truly non-destructive water feature testing. That’s a meaningful distinction: standard detection methods often require cutting into decks or excavating around plumbing before the leak source is even confirmed. Our process reverses that sequence entirely.

We confirm the leak location first. Repair work follows from that confirmed finding, keeping any digging narrow and targeted rather than exploratory. Every service call ends with a full report explaining what was found, where the leak is located, and what your options are. Our technicians arrive on time, complete work within the agreed time frame, and leave the property clean.

Local Conditions That Contribute to Pool Leaks

Monmouth County’s soil varies considerably from the coast inland. Sandy soils common near the shore shift more readily and can place stress on underground pool plumbing lines. Heavier clay-based soils hold moisture and exert lateral pressure on buried pipes over time. Both soil types create conditions where pool line damage can develop gradually and go unnoticed.

Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles add another variable. As ground temperatures drop each winter, soil expands and contracts around buried lines. That repeated movement can open small cracks in plumbing that weren’t there the previous season. For pool owners in Monmouth County, these aren’t rare edge cases. They’re common contributors to the leaks we find every season.

Our Pool Leak Detection Process

Every inspection starts with a conversation. We listen to what you’ve observed, review the property’s symptoms, and then conduct on-site testing using acoustic detection equipment, thermal imaging, inspection cameras, or pressure testing, depending on what the situation calls for. These tools let us trace a leak through skimmer and return fittings, underground plumbing lines, or the pool shell itself without tearing up your deck or landscaping.

Once we’ve confirmed the source, you receive a plain-language summary of the findings. There’s no pressure to move immediately to repairs. Pool, Spa & Fountain Leak Repair is offered as a separate service once you understand what was found and what the fix involves.

    "Kudos for ALD technician Gerard "Moose" R."
    “From beginning to end, Gerard was very professional and described everything he was doing and why. Found a leak in our water line in our front yard which; while this may sound strange, was a relief because our plumber was leaning more toward the problem being under our cement slab, a much more costly proposition! Gerard was on time, courteous, and you felt confident that this guy knew his stuff! Honestly, I'd recommend ALD to anyone needing to check for leaks in water lines, pools, sewer lines, you name it! Once again, thanks ALD and thanks, Gerard for doing such a great job! - Joe and Jane”
