Warning Signs Your Pool May Have a Leak
Not every drop in water level signals a leak, but some patterns are hard to ignore. Losing more than a quarter inch per day, especially when it repeats consistently, is more likely a leak than normal evaporation or splash-out.
Other signs worth noting:
- Rising water bills without a change in usage habits
- Wet spots or unusually lush patches of grass or landscaping near the pool deck
- Cracks or shifts in the pool deck or surrounding structure
- Unexplained water loss that persists even when the pool isn’t in heavy use
If any of these apply to your pool, a professional inspection is the fastest way to confirm whether a leak is the cause.
Why Port St. Lucie’s Climate Makes Fast Action Important
Port St. Lucie’s humid subtropical climate means pools see extended use well beyond the summer months. That prolonged season, combined with year-round humidity, gives a small leak more opportunity to become a serious problem. Water escaping through a crack in the shell or a compromised plumbing line doesn’t just waste water; it can saturate the surrounding soil and contribute to erosion that threatens the pool structure and nearby outdoor features over time.
Addressing a suspected leak quickly limits water waste, keeps operating costs in check, and helps protect the ground your pool sits on.
How We Locate Pool Leaks Without Destructive Digging
We use three primary methods to find pool leaks, selected based on where the leak is suspected and the pool’s configuration. Each is non-invasive.
Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic equipment pinpoints leak locations by detecting signals the escaping water produces. This method requires no cutting or excavation, giving us precise location data before any repair work begins.
Pressure Testing
We pressurize the plumbing system to identify leaks within the pipes. Pressure testing isolates which lines are losing water and confirms the integrity of the system as a whole.
Dye Testing
We introduce a tracer dye near suspected leak points. The movement of the dye reveals where water is escaping, making it effective for identifying leaks at fittings, returns, and the pool shell.

“The water level in my backyard pool was dropping significantly over the past month. RHR Pools suggested utilizing American Leak Detection. Kaleb’s long-term experience with construction/maintenance/operation of residential pools was quickly evident. He systematically evaluated the entirety of the piping /structure and identified a significant leak associated with the skimmer. After effecting a temporary repair, he generated an easily readable report with recommendations for a permanent solution. I am appreciative of the effort.”- Robert K
