Precision Pool Leak Repair in Tallahassee, GA

Stop Guessing About That Dropping Water Level

In Tallahassee’s long swimming season, a leaking pool is more than a nuisance; it’s an active threat to your backyard investment. Constant water loss destabilizes the soil supporting your pool deck, potentially leading to cracked concrete and costly structural shifts. If you are constantly dragging out the hose or battling chemical imbalances due to dilution, you likely have a leak. American Leak Detection of Tallahassee and South Georgia delivers specialized diagnostic and repair services designed to identify the breach and seal it, preserving your pool’s integrity and your peace of mind.

The Hidden Costs of a Pool Leak

A leak in your pool system, whether in the shell or the underground plumbing, creates a cascade of expensive problems. Water escaping into the ground can erode the soil base, causing pavers to sink and skimmers to separate from the pool wall. Mechanically, air pulled into suction lines can cause your pump to lose prime and overheat. Financially, you are paying for wasted water and the chemicals needed to treat it. Identifying the exact source of the leak immediately is the only way to stop this cycle of waste and damage.

• Chemical Imbalance: Excessive consumption of salt, chlorine, or stabilizers due to constant refilling.
• Mechanical Stress: Air bubbles shooting from returns or the pump basket failing to fill completely.
• Structural Shifts: New cracks in the bond beam, lifting tiles, or sinking deck pads.
• Abnormal Loss: Losing more than 1/4 inch of water in 24 hours (excluding splash-out).

Non-Invasive Diagnostic Protocol

We reject the "guess and dig" method. Our inspection process is a systematic hydraulic analysis of your entire pool system. We utilize advanced non-invasive technology to isolate the fault without destroying your deck.

We begin by pressure testing individual plumbing lines, suction, return, and cleaner lines, to determine if the failure is underground. If a line fails to hold pressure, we use sonic listening devices to pinpoint the exact location of the break through the soil or concrete. For structural concerns, we employ targeted dye testing around skimmers, lights, and fittings to visualize the water's exit path. This data-driven approach ensures we know exactly where and why the pool is leaking before we discuss a solution.

End-to-End Leak Resolution

We don’t just identify the problem; we eliminate it. While our core expertise lies in precision diagnostics, American Leak Detection of Tallahassee and South Georgia closes the loop by offering full repair capabilities. Once the leak is located, you have the option to authorize immediate repairs, turning a complex stressor into a finished project in a single engagement.

Whether it involves injecting a structural crack, replacing a skimmer, or excavating a section of underground pipe, we have the capabilities to execute the fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

If you are losing more than 1/4 inch of water per day, it is likely a leak. You can also perform a "bucket test" to compare pool water loss against a control sample. If the pool drops faster than the bucket, give us a call.

Will you have to break my pool deck?

Not for the inspection. We use pressure and sound to locate leaks non-invasively. If a repair requires accessing a pipe under the deck, we will pinpoint the exact spot to ensure the opening is as small as possible.

Do you repair the leaks you find?

Yes. We are a full-service provider. We can transition directly from detection to repair, handling everything from vinyl patches to plumbing excavation. You are not required to use us for the repair, but the option is there for your convenience.

Do you work on all types of pools?

We work on most in-ground residential pools, including gunite, vinyl liner, and fiberglass, as well as attached spas.
