DIY Leak Determination

Uncovering a hidden leak and handling it quickly can save you significant money in the long run. Protect your property value and keep your wallet full by looking for the potential indicators and finding the source of the problem.

If you’re unsure whether or not there is a leak somewhere, there are several warning signs to look for:

  • Gurgling Sounds – A potential indicator that air or dirt is pulling into the water through a leak.
  • Mushy Grass – Water is likely leaking somewhere causing your grass to become overly wet.
  • Sinking Landscape – If your pool deck or other lawn features are sinking, it could be due to a leak eroding the land and shifting things around.
  • Untreatable Algae – When you keep adding water into the pool and algae is constantly growing back, there may be a leak that needs tending to.
  • Automatic Fill System Runs Continually – If your water bills are running up, or your system is constantly on, there’s likely a leak hidden.

If you’re not noticing any of the above and can’t decide if you should call for a professional inspection, we have a pool water loss calculator. Keep in mind that environmental factors such as sun exposure, wind, and humidity may play a role in why your water level is lower than normal. Evaporation may be the cause – this calculator can help you figure out if that’s the case.

How Much Does It Cost to Detect a Pool Leak?

The cost is dependent on the scope of the investigation and can vary from $100 - $500. However, believe it or not, this is actually significantly cheaper than letting your leak go undetected. While water itself is relatively inexpensive, the damage it can do when your pool is leaking can be astronomical:

Damage from chlorine - Your pool is constructed to withstand chlorine when it’s inside of it, not outside. Chlorine is capable of corroding metal over time.

Damage from inadequate water volume - You’ll need to refill your pool frequently if it has a leak. If you miss a refill, your pump can overheat from sucking in too much air. A new pump will set you back a few hundred dollars.

  • Damage to your home’s foundation - Your pool’s water lines are probably connected to your home, where a leak can go unnoticed for months and sometimes even years. Water pooling underground causes unstable soil which is a serious danger to home foundations, which can crack and shift without proper support.

Common Areas for Pool Leaks

The most common area for pool leaks is typically the pool's plumbing system, including the pipes, fittings, and valves. These components can develop leaks over time due to wear and tear, improper installation, or shifting ground. Other common areas for pool leaks include the pool shell, which can crack or develop holes, and the pool equipment, such as the pump, filter, or heater, which can develop leaks at their connections or seals. Additionally, pool leaks can occur in the skimmer, return jets, lights, or any other fixtures or accessories attached to the pool. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain your pool to identify and address any leaks promptly.

Another common area for pool leaks is the pool's vinyl liner. Vinyl liners can become damaged or worn over time, leading to leaks. Sharp objects, excessive sun exposure, or improper installation can cause tears or punctures in the liner. These leaks can be detected by observing water loss or noticing wrinkles, bulges, or discoloration in the liner.

The pool's skimmer is another frequent source of leaks. The skimmer is responsible for removing debris from the water's surface, but its components, such as the skimmer basket, lid, or housing, can deteriorate or develop cracks, resulting in leaks. A leaky skimmer can lead to water loss and potentially damage the surrounding pool structure if left unaddressed.

Additionally, pool leaks can occur at the pool's fittings and seals, such as those around the pool lights, jets, or drains. These fittings can degrade over time or become loose, causing water to escape. It's essential to regularly inspect these areas and ensure a proper seal to prevent leaks.

Lastly, evaporation can often be mistaken for a pool leak. Especially in hot and dry climates, water can evaporate from the pool's surface, leading to a perceived loss of water. However, if you suspect a leak but are unsure, it's recommended to perform a simple bucket test to determine if the water loss is due to evaporation or an actual leak.

To identify and address pool leaks effectively, it is advisable to consult a professional pool service or leak detection specialist who can conduct a thorough inspection and employ specialized techniques to pinpoint the precise location of the leak. Timely detection and repair of pool leaks are crucial to preserve water, maintain optimal pool function, and prevent potential damage to the pool structure and surrounding areas.

    "He has such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond."
    “Dear Fred Thompson, Kyle Carter is a wonderful representative of your company. Everyone is always so quick to point out the bad, but I want to point out the good ! I finally have a little hope that my pool is salvageable. He has applaudable work ethics and tries his best to do a job worthwhile and complete. He has such a positive attitude and goes above and beyond. I wanted you to know what a wonderful employee he is and I thank you and I thank him!”

    "I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work."
    “I’ve been working with Henry since early December when I called ALD out to find a leak in my pier and beam house. Henry was able to find the leak and offer multiple options for repair after doing so. Shortly after his initial visit he was able to repair the leak and get me up and running through the holidays. Unfortunately due to the condition of my plumbing there was no guarantee another leak wouldn’t occur in the near future. My house is 90 years old and all of the cold water plumbing was original galvanized pipe from the 20’s. We decided to come back at a later date and replace the cold side from the service line to each of the fixtures. Below you will find examples of how Henry performed during the job. Quality of Work: Henry performed outstanding work which passed visual and hydrostatic testing with the city Self Motivation: Each day Henry and I discussed the scope of his project and laid out plans for what was to be done. I left him alone unsupervised throughout the job and there was never an issue with him dragging his feet or underperforming the daily tasks. Ingenuity: Henry was able to create logical solutions to several of the issues in and around re-plumbing my house. I challenged him to create an easier way to control the water from inside and outside of the house, offering several service solutions with minimal flow interruptions. Ultimately, Henry was able to build several utility manifolds allowing for independent operation of rooms and fixtures throughout the house. This solution added value to my property and future proofed several common plumbing issues found in other homes. Henry was able to tie into the original service line, minimizing downtime and allowing the project to come in 40% under budget. Ability to Work with Others: Each day Henry showed up with a helper and always go the most out of them while on property. I witnessed him treating each one of them fairly and successfully motivated them to work with him on his tasks. Honesty: Henry realizes the importance of forming long term relationships with his customers. He speaks frank about project goals and challenges and communicates the risk of potential solutions clearly. Henry’s ability to gain trust is his strongest quality, I believe ALD will benefit from the many relationships he forms while on the job now and in the future. I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work. Thanks for helping me out.”

    "Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed."
    “Dear Mr. Thompson, I am writing to inform you of the behavior of two of your technicians that come to my home to diagnose a leak. They were both incredibly courteous and professional and took their time to explain what they were doing. I have not had as great an experience with plumbers in the past as I had using the services these two provided. I was very impressed with their depth of knowledge not only with plumbing but also with ants! They found a massive ant colony behind the wall and helped guide us through how we could get rid of them until we could contact a pest service and even helped to clean up some of the mess with us. The only name I have is Mike Mendoza but he had a colleague with him who deserves the same pat on the back for a job well done. I hope Mike remembers who he rode with that day… would have been 12/20/15 approx. So often, people just call to complain about things so I felt that service as well rendered as these guys did needed a note to the boss-man. My hope is to have them back for the repair phase should this be approved for payment by American Home Shield. Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed. I hope that you have a way to commend them for putting a great face to your company. Strong work!!”

    "Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome."
    “Just wanted to pass on my thanks to both Mike Mendoza & Doyle. They were both very thorough on the first visit and Mike's second visit today to make the repairs and finish the testing needed. It's traumatic enough to go through foundation repairs to then be told you have a plumbing leak. I didn't trust the results received from the plumbing company contracted by the foundation repair company. That's why I called ALD. From the onset I felt comfortable and secure with what Mike was doing. He kept me informed every step during the process and gained my ultimate trust in everything he told me. He was able to isolate the issue right off the bat, where the other company just said the test failed. It's employees like Mike, that make me the consumer feel at ease with what needed to be done. Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome. Thank you for having such dedicated employees on your staff.”
