Comprehensive Pool Leak Detection in Key West, FL

Eliminate Water Loss Uncertainty

For pool owners in Key West, the constant cycle of refilling water can be both baffling and costly. While evaporation is a natural factor in our warm climate, a persistent drop in water level often signals a more significant issue hidden beneath the surface.

Distinguishing Evaporation from Structural Leaks

It can be difficult to discern where normal evaporation ends and a structural failure begins, especially with the sea breezes and sunshine common to the Keys. However, specific indicators often point to a mechanical or structural breach rather than environmental factors. Recognizing these signs early can prevent minor issues from escalating into major infrastructure failures.

• Accelerated Water Drop: Losing inches of water in a short period, far exceeding typical evaporation rates.
• Equipment Malfunction: Pumps are losing prime, or air bubbles are appearing in return lines, suggesting a suction-side leak.
• Landscape Saturation: Unexplained soggy spots or sinking pavers around the pool deck indicate underground pipe failure.
• Structural Anomalies: Visible cracks in the shell or gaps around lights and skimmers where water can escape.

Systematic Diagnostic Protocol

We employ a methodical, non-invasive testing process to locate leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Our technicians utilize specialized acoustic equipment to listen for the distinct sound of escaping water in pressurized lines and perform dye testing on suspected structural cracks. This targeted approach allows us to isolate the problem area efficiently.

Our inspection covers every critical component of your pool system, from the shell and fittings to the underground plumbing network. We prioritize protecting your finishes and surroundings, using advanced diagnostic tools to confirm findings before any physical intervention is recommended. This ensures that you receive a clear, accurate report of the issue without invasive exploratory digging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to test without draining the pool?

Yes. Our diagnostic methods are designed to be performed with the pool full. In fact, having the water at normal operating levels is essential for accurate pressure testing and dye verification of structural leaks.

Can you coordinate with my property manager?

Absolutely. We frequently work with local caretakers and management companies to arrange access and report findings, ensuring that absentee owners stay informed without needing to be on-site.

Will the inspection damage my pool deck?

No. We use non-invasive acoustic technology to listen through the deck for underground leaks. This allows us to pinpoint the location of a pipe failure without breaking concrete or lifting pavers during the diagnostic phase.

How do I know if the water loss is just evaporation?

If you are adding water more than once a week or notice a drop of more than a quarter-inch per day, it is likely a leak. We can perform a static bucket test or a full inspection to confirm if the loss is environmental or structural.
