Pool Leak Repair in Orlando

Repairing Pool Leaks in Central & Southwest Florida

Pool leaks are more common than many realize.  Just like any other structure that holds water, swimming pools are susceptible to leaks. These leaks can be due to various factors, such as wear and tear, ground movement, or even the natural aging of a pool's materials. While a leak might seem like a minor inconvenience, if left undetected or untreated, it can lead to significant water loss, increased bills, and even structural damage.

Pool leaks can be tricky to identify and locate, often requiring a keen eye and a systematic approach. They can occur anywhere from a pool's shell to its plumbing system, making them a complex problem to solve. But fear not, because this is where Fiji Pools comes into play. Our team is adept at identifying the subtle signs of leaks, using advanced techniques to locate the source, and proceeding with effective repairs to rectify the issue. 

When it comes to pool leak detection and repair in Orlando, our team at Fiji Pools is the one to trust. We've seen it all, from tiny pinhole leaks in pool liners to significant cracks in the shells of concrete pools. 

 

Common Causes of Pool Leaks

At Fiji Pools, we've identified several common causes for pool leaks through our years of service. Being aware of these can help you spot potential issues early and call in the experts for detailed inspection and repair.

  • Cracks in the pool's shell: This is one of the most common causes of pool leaks. Pool shells, especially those made of concrete, can develop cracks over time due to factors like ageing, ground movements, and exposure to harsh weather conditions. These cracks, if left unattended, can lead to significant water leakage.
  • Faulty plumbing: The plumbing system of a pool is made up of several components, including pipes, pumps, and filters. If any of these components are damaged or malfunctioning, it can result in a water leak. Common issues include cracked pipes, worn-out seals, or pump leaks.
  • Worn-out pool liners: Pool liners are susceptible to wear and tear over time, especially in areas with high foot traffic. Holes and tears can develop, causing water to leak. Additionally, UV exposure can degrade liners over time, making them more susceptible to leaks.
  • Improperly sealed fittings: Pool fittings, such as light fixtures, skimmers, and returns, need to be properly sealed to prevent water leakage. If the sealant deteriorates or if these fittings are not installed correctly, they can become a source of leaks.
  • Structural damage: While not as common, significant structural damage like shifting of the pool due to soil erosion or subsidence can cause major leaks. This usually requires immediate attention as it can compromise the overall safety and integrity of the pool.

With these common causes in mind, it's essential to keep an eye out for any signs of a leak and address them promptly. This can save you time, money, and the headache of dealing with larger issues in the future.

Signs of a Pool Leak

Recognizing the signs of a pool leak early can save you from costly repairs and unnecessary headaches. 

Here are some key indicators that your pool might have a leak:

  • Unexplained water level drops: The most obvious sign of a pool leak is a sudden and unexplained decrease in water level. While some water loss due to evaporation is normal, especially in hot weather, a significant drop within a short time frame may indicate a leak.
  • Increased water bills: An unexpected increase in your water bill may be another indicator of a pool leak. If you notice that your water usage has spiked without an apparent reason, it's worth checking your pool for leaks.
  • Soggy lawn or puddles: If the area around your pool is unusually soggy or if you notice puddles of water that can't be accounted for by recent rain or sprinklers, you might have a leak in your pool.
  • Cracks in the pool deck: Cracks in the pool deck or surrounding area can be a sign of underlying leakage. Water escaping from a leak can erode the soil underneath the deck, causing it to crack.
  • Air bubbles in the return lines: Air bubbles in the pool's return lines can be a sign of a leak in the piping system. If air is entering the system, it means that water is likely escaping somewhere.
  • Algae bloom or unbalanced chemicals: If you're frequently dealing with algae blooms or unbalanced pool chemicals despite regular maintenance, you may have a leak on your hands. Leaks can dilute pool chemicals, making it harder to maintain the balance and encouraging algae growth.

If you notice one or more of these signs, we recommend contacting our team Fiji Pools as soon as possible. We can perform a thorough inspection to confirm whether or not there is a leak, locate it, and provide efficient repair solutions.

Our Leak Detection Process

At Fiji Pools, our comprehensive leak detection process is designed to ensure that every potential source of leakage is examined thoroughly. 

Here's a brief overview of our standard operating procedure:

  • Initial consultation: In this first step, our team will discuss your concerns, review any signs of leakage you've noticed, and gather necessary information about your pool's history and construction.
  • Visual inspection: Next, we conduct a visual inspection that includes checking the pool and surrounding area for signs of water loss, inspecting the pool shell for cracks, and examining any fittings and plumbing for signs of leaks.
  • Water level test: We perform a simple bucket test to compare the rate of water loss in the pool compared to that in a bucket. This test helps to differentiate between water loss due to evaporation and an actual leak.
  • Pressure test: Our technicians may conduct a pressure test on your pool's plumbing system. This involves plugging the lines at one end, pressurizing them, and observing to see if they lose pressure.
  • Dye test: In some instances, a dye test may be used to pinpoint leaks. By introducing a small amount of dye near suspected leaks, we can observe if the dye is drawn out, confirming a leak.
  • Leak repair: Once the leak is confirmed and located, we'll discuss the best repair options with you. This could range from a simple patch to more comprehensive work, depending on the nature and location of the leak.

Remember, the sooner a leak is detected and repaired, the less damage it can cause. Our skilled team at Fiji Pools is dedicated to providing prompt, efficient, and thorough leak detection and repair services in Central and Southwest Florida to keep your pool in optimal condition.
