Pool Leak Repair in New Port Richey, FL
Is Your Pool Draining Your Bank Account?
In New Port Richey, FL, a leaking pool is a ticking time bomb for your property’s foundation. The sandy soils of Pasco County wash away easily when exposed to constant water flow from a cracked shell or broken pipe. What starts as a high water bill quickly evolves into a hollow void beneath your pool deck, leading to catastrophic settling and concrete failure.
At American Leak Detection of Spring Hill, we don't guess. We deploy forensic leak detection technology to trace water loss to its exact source, whether it’s a pinhole in the vinyl liner, a fracture in the marcite, or a sheared pipe underground. Our mission is surgical: pinpoint the failure, execute a lasting Pool Leak Repair, and stabilize your investment before gravity takes over.
The "Red Flags" of Structural & Plumbing Failures
Evaporation is natural; losing 2 inches a week is not. Many local homeowners ignore the early signs, assuming it's just the Florida sun. Don’t make that mistake. If you spot these indicators, your pool system is compromised:
- The Chemical Drain: You are adding salt or chlorine constantly because fresh refill water is diluting your chemistry.
- The "Squishy" Lawn: Persistent wet spots in your yard, even days after rain, often signal a broken underground return line.
- Deck Sinking: Cracks in your pool deck or pavers that seem to be widening or settling unevenly.
- Pump Issues: Air bubbles blasting out of return jets indicate a suction-side leak pulling air into your system.
Our Forensic Diagnostic Protocol
We reject the "trial and error" approach used by general pool cleaners. Our technicians are auditors of hydraulic integrity. We use a multi-layered diagnostic process to isolate leaks without destroying your backyard.
1. Pressure Testing the Arteries
We isolate your plumbing lines, skimmers, main drains, returns, and pressurize them with water and air. If a line loses pressure, we know the leak is underground. We then use acoustic listening devices to hear the precise location of the escaping water through the concrete or soil.
2. Structural Dye Testing
For leaks within the pool vessel, we use specialized dyes around lights, fittings, and cracks. The dye is drawn into the leak, giving us instant visual confirmation of structural breaches in the shell or finish.
3. Electronic Leak Detection
For vinyl liners common in New Port Richey, we use electronic scanning that detects the electrical ground established by leaking water, locating pinholes invisible to the naked eye.

FAQs
Can you fix a leak without draining the pool?
Yes. In fact, draining a pool in New Port Richey is dangerous due to hydrostatic pressure (groundwater) that can "pop" the shell out of the ground. We perform most structural repairs underwater using specialized sealants and divers.
How much water loss is "normal"?
In a standard uncovered pool, expect to lose about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per day to evaporation. If you are losing more than that, or if you have an autofill that runs constantly, you have a leak.
Do you repair vinyl liner pools?
Absolutely. We specialize in locating tears and pinholes in vinyl liners and can patch them effectively or recommend replacement if the liner has reached the end of its life.
Is the repair guaranteed?
We stand behind our work. Our repairs are tested immediately to ensure the leak is stopped, and we offer warranty options depending on the type of repair performed.
