Non-Invasive Pool Leak Detection for Brandon Homeowners & Commercial Properties

If your pool is losing water and you can’t explain why, American Leak Detection of Tampa can find the source. We serve Brandon as part of our Hillsborough County service area, bringing over 40 years of proprietary leak detection development to every job. Our principle is Leak Detection Without Destruction™: we locate leaks accurately without tearing up your pool deck, plumbing, or yard.

During Florida’s summer rainy season, a pool should hold its water level. Needing to add water regularly is a clear signal worth investigating. The longer a leak goes unaddressed, the more you spend on water, chemicals, and potential structural damage.

Ready to get a confirmed answer? Call (727) 470-6330 for flat fee pricing and a quote before we schedule your visit. If we can’t find the leak, you pay nothing.

Our Two-Test Pool Leak Detection Process

Every Brandon pool inspection uses two tests: a structure test and a pressure test. Together, they cover possible leak sources in a single visit.

Structure Test

A technician dives into the pool and inspects the skimmer, drain, light, tile grout, returns, and pool surface. Any leaks found can be sealed the same day and are included in the detection fee. Minor repairs such as underwater epoxy applications to skimmer cracks can happen on the spot.

Pressure Test

We use electronic leak detection equipment to locate leaks inside underground pool pipes. Once the source is pinpointed, we provide a repair estimate before any work begins. No unnecessary excavation.

For a complete inspection, your pool should be filled to its normal level (halfway up the decorative skimmer tile) and clear of debris and algae before our technician arrives.

Pool Types & Leak Sources We Cover in Brandon

Our Pools, Spas & Fountains service covers residential pools, spas, and commercial pools throughout Brandon and the surrounding Hillsborough County area. Brandon’s pool inventory spans older concrete and plaster pools in established subdivisions to newer fiberglass and saltwater systems in communities like FishHawk Ranch and Bloomingdale. Different construction types present different failure points, and our detection approach addresses all of them.

Leak sources we locate and repair include:

Pool shell cracks repaired through grout injection and stapling using Torque-Lock Staples
Skimmer leaks sealed with underwater epoxy, or full skimmer replacement when separation or severe cracking requires it
Underground suction and return line breaks located with electronic equipment, then cut out, replaced, and pressure-tested before backfilling
Drain and light seal failures

What Brandon Customers Say

Our technicians regularly find leaks that other companies missed. Vicky A. called us after her pool service company and two other pool leak detection companies failed to locate the source. Our technician found and fixed it the next day. She described the service as professional and honest, with no hidden fees.

Don M. had the same experience: another leak-locating company had visited four times without success. We found the source on our first visit. Dan M. reported our technician located the leak in under 60 seconds and completed the full pool inspection in 30 minutes. Gary M. summed it up plainly: “You found the problem when other companies did not.”

Signs Your Brandon Pool May Have a Leak

Not every water loss is a leak, but several indicators point to one. Normal evaporation in Florida accounts for roughly 1/4 inch of water loss per day in dry conditions. During the summer rainy season, that number drops close to zero because rain replaces what evaporates. Needing to add water at all during rainy months is a red flag worth investigating.

Other signs that suggest a leak rather than evaporation:

Water loss consistently exceeding approximately 1/4 inch per day
Air bubbles coming through return jets
Wet or mushy spots in the yard near the pool equipment or plumbing lines
Visible cracks in pool plaster or tile around the skimmer, lights, or returns
Constantly needing to rebalance pool chemicals
A spike in your water bill without other changes in household usage

A simple bucket test can help rule out evaporation before you call. Fill a bucket with pool water, place it on the first or second pool step, and mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool level on the outside at the same time. After 24 hours, compare the drop. If the pool has lost more water than the bucket, a leak is likely present.

Underground plumbing leaks are harder to self-identify because they leave no visible surface signs. Professional pressure testing is a reliable way to locate them.

"They were professional, honest (no hidden fees) and did a wonderful job."
“My pool had been leaking for weeks, my pool service company had done several tests to the pool and just couldn't find it. They referred us to a couple leak detection companies, but I remember my neighbor telling me about what a great company American Leak Detection was and what a great job they did for a pool leak she had and a house leak. I called them right away once my pool service company couldn't find it, they came out the next day, found the leak, fixed the leak and warranted it. And now I've been leak free ever since. I will never use another leak detection company. They were professional, honest (no hidden fees) and did a wonderful job. Thank you American Leak Detection.”
