Pool Leak Repair in Clermont, FL

Prevent Structural Failure with Precision Leak Localization

In Clermont, a swimming pool is a significant investment, but a hidden leak can turn that asset into a liability. The intense Central Florida heat naturally causes evaporation, masking the subtle signs of a structural or plumbing failure. However, when water loss exceeds normal rates, it’s not just water you’re losing; it’s the ground support for your pool. American Leak Detection of West Central Florida replaces guesswork with engineering-grade diagnostics. We specialize in distinguishing between evaporation and leakage, identifying the exact source of water loss to prevent soil erosion, deck settlement, and costly structural damage.

Our approach is forensic: we test the entire vessel, from the shell to the underground plumbing grid. We pinpoint the breach without tearing up your deck. Once the failure is mapped, we offer a complete turnkey solution. We have the specialized capability to execute the necessary repairs, whether it's sealing a skimmer, injecting a structural crack, or repairing a buried pipe. However, we operate with total transparency: you retain ownership of the diagnostic data and are free to utilize our findings to direct a third-party contractor if you prefer.

The Hidden Danger of Sub-Surface Erosion

A pool leak in Clermont’s sandy and clay-mixed soils is deceptive. The water escaping from your pool doesn’t just disappear; it saturates the ground beneath your concrete deck or paver patio. Over time, this creates voids (washouts) that leave your hardscape unsupported.

• Hardscape Failure: Sinking pavers, cracking concrete decks, and uneven surfaces caused by soil washout.
• Chemical Waste: Constant dilution forces you to rebalance chemicals daily, damaging the plaster finish.
• Equipment Strain: Pumps running dry or fighting airlocks, leading to premature motor failure.
• Structural Stress: Voids under the pool shell can lead to major structural cracks due to a lack of support.

Non-Destructive Diagnostic Protocol

We reject the "trial and error" method. Our diagnostic workflow is designed to protect your property while gathering definitive data. We use a suite of non-invasive tools to test the integrity of your pool system.

Our technicians employ Hydrostatic Pressure Testing to isolate and verify the watertight integrity of underground plumbing lines. We use Electronic Listening Devices to hear the sound of water escaping into the soil, allowing us to pinpoint leaks under the deck. For the pool shell, we use targeted Dye Testing around penetrations like lights, skimmers, and drains to visualize the exact path of water loss. This multi-layered approach ensures we know exactly where the breach is and how to fix it with surgical precision.

Turnkey Resolution: From Detection to Repair

Locating the leak is critical, but fixing it is what restores your pool. American Leak Detection of West Central Florida bridges the gap between detection and repair. We don’t just diagnose; we have the technical capability to perform the necessary repairs immediately.

Whether it involves applying a specialized epoxy to a structural crack, replacing a fractured faceplate, or excavating a specific section of plumbing, we handle the entire scope. This integrated approach ensures the repair addresses the root cause and restores the integrity of the vessel. However, we uphold a standard of professional flexibility: while we offer this turnkey service for your convenience, you remain in control. You are free to use our detailed findings to hire any contractor you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if it's a leak or just evaporation?

Perform a "bucket test." Fill a bucket with water and place it on a pool step so the water level inside matches the pool level outside. Mark both levels. After 24 hours, compare the loss. If the pool level dropped more than the bucket level, you likely have a leak.

Will you have to drain my pool to find the leak?

Rarely. Most of our diagnostic tests, including pressure testing and dye testing, are performed with the pool full. In fact, having the pool full is often necessary to properly identify the leak.

Can you fix a leak under the concrete deck?

Yes. Once we pinpoint the location of the plumbing failure, we can often repair it by cutting a small access square in the deck or, in some cases, by tunneling under the deck to avoid cutting the concrete at all.

Do you repair vinyl liner pools?

Yes. We are equipped to detect and repair leaks in gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools. We can patch vinyl tears underwater and repair leaks behind faceplates and gaskets.
