Signs you may need pool & spa leak detection
- Water level dropping faster than normal
- Needing to top up the pool several times a week
- Cracks in the shell or loose tiles
- Wet spots or sinking areas around the pool deck
- Algae returning soon after treatment
How we find it
- Bucket test: Separates evaporation from a real leak.
- Dye testing: Colored dye is pulled toward cracks, lights and fittings.
- Pressure testing: Each return, skimmer and main drain line is tested one by one.
Why accurate detection matters in Bargersville
Indiana’s freeze and thaw cycles are hard on pools. Fittings, light niches and skimmer throats move a little every winter, and small gaps become leaks by summer.
We check the whole system, not just the shell, so you know whether the fix is a simple patch or a plumbing repair.
Common questions
How much water loss is normal for a pool?
Evaporation in summer is usually around a quarter inch per day. More than that, especially with the pump off, points to a leak.
Should the pool be full for testing?
Yes, please keep the pool at its normal level and the equipment working so we can test every line.
