At American Leak Detection of Gainesville, we provide reliable pool leak detection in Alachua County, helping homeowners in Gainesville, Newberry, and Alachua protect their investments. We understand that a pool is more than just an amenity; it's a centerpiece of your home. Our team combines advanced, non-invasive technology with a deep understanding of our local environment to provide clear answers and fast, effective solutions.

The Challenge: Why Alachua County Pools Are Different

Pools in North Central Florida face unique stresses. Our sandy soils, high water tables, and frequent heavy storms can cause ground shifting that puts significant pressure on pool shells and underground plumbing. This, combined with intense summer heat and humidity, can accelerate wear and tear, making leaks more common. Our technicians' local knowledge allows us to identify and address these region-specific challenges with precision.

Our Solution: Non-Invasive Detection, Tailored for Local Pools

Our service is designed to find leaks with minimal disruption. We use advanced methods to protect your yard and deck from unnecessary demolition.

• Advanced Acoustic & Electronic Testing: We use electronic listening devices to "hear" leaks in underground plumbing.
• Targeted Dye Testing: We use specialized dyes to pinpoint the exact location of leaks within the pool shell, skimmer, or fittings.
• Plumbing Pressure Testing: We can test the integrity of your entire plumbing system, including return lines and main drains, to confirm if the leak is in the pipes.
• Structural Inspection: We check the pool shell, tile line, and equipment pad for cracks or wear common in our climate.

Common Signs of a Pool Leak

Don’t wait for major damage. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection with our team:

• Significant Water Loss: Your pool's water level drops more than 1/8 inch per day. A "bucket test" can help confirm this.
• Soggy Spots in the Yard: You notice unexplained wet patches or mushy grass around the pool or equipment pad.
• Cracks or Settling: New cracks appear in the pool deck, or tiles become loose and fall off.
• Automatic Filler Runs Constantly: If your auto-fill device is always running, it's a clear sign of water loss.
• High Water Bills: A sudden, unexplained spike in your water bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pool has a leak or just normal evaporation?

A simple "bucket test" can help. Place a bucket of pool water on your pool step and mark the water level in both the bucket and the pool. After 24 hours, if the pool has lost significantly more water than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

Will leak detection damage my pool or the surrounding area?

No. Our process is non-invasive. We use advanced electronic and acoustic tools to find the leak without any digging or demolition.

How long does a pool leak detection appointment take?

Most detection processes for residential pools are completed within a few hours, depending on the pool's size and complexity. We respect your schedule and aim to provide timely, thorough service.

Can leaks damage my property beyond the pool itself?

Yes, this is the biggest risk. An unaddressed leak can lead to soil erosion, which can crack your pool deck, damage your landscaping, and even cause serious structural issues to your home's foundation if ignored.
