Pool Leak Detection for Lighthouse Point
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Lighthouse Point pools sit on dredged fill a few feet above the canals, so a leaking line never leaves a puddle and often takes on groundwater when the pump is off, while sixty years of settling toward the seawalls has pulled on every skimmer joint on the canal side. If the autofill runs more than the inlet breeze explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Sixty years of settling means the seawall corner is almost always where a Lighthouse Point pool leaks, so we dye-test that skimmer joint first and read the tide chart to learn which side of the water table the line is on before pressure testing the rest.
Leak clues in a Lighthouse Point pool
From the leak crew
A level that holds at high tide and drops at low, a coping joint that opened on the seawall side, air in the pump basket, a light that quit after the level fell, or a water bill that climbed in the dry season are the signs worth a call. The canals are too wet to show a leak, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Skimmer throats on settled seawall corners, corroded light niches and return fittings, and main drain lines below the water table are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Lighthouse Point Pool Owners Ask
Can the high water table hide a leak?
It can change the reading. Groundwater pushing in from outside can slow a shell leak while the pump is off and let it run when the pump is on. That is why I test with the pump running and again with it off before I go looking for the spot.
Answered by a Blue Science leak technician, Miami-Fort LauderdaleWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Lighthouse Point peaks around half an inch a day in a dry, windy heat wave and drops to almost nothing in humid weather, so an inch a day, every day, means water is leaving through the plumbing or the shell, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air are doing. The clue is where the level stops: at the skimmer, the skimmer or a return is the suspect; below the lights, look at the light niche or the main drain line; all the way down, the shell has a crack, and 786-605-7500 gets the test scheduled. Our Lighthouse Point leak detection visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air in mind, and repairs are quoted separately once the source is found.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
Watch the level, then test the lines. Mark the waterline, turn off the autofill, and note where the pool settles over a day or two, the skimmer mouth, the return fittings, the light niche, and the main drain each showing a different stopping point, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, a Lighthouse Point leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 29 cities. Our Lighthouse Point technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air did to the pipes.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
The bucket test. A bucket on the top step, filled to the pool's level and marked, loses water only to evaporation, year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air included; the pool loses water to evaporation and to any leak. Compare the two lines after 24 hours with the autofill off and the gap is the leak; in Lighthouse Point that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 786-605-7500. In Lighthouse Point the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 786-605-7500 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Lighthouse Point?
Plumbing and fittings, not the shell. Skimmer throats pull loose where the deck and the pool move differently, return lines crack where a deck has settled, and light niches and conduit corrode in wet ground; in Lighthouse Point, year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air speed up all three. Shell cracks are rarer and easier to see; the plumbing leaks hide under the deck, which is why the search starts under pressure rather than with a flashlight, in all 29 cities we serve. In Lighthouse Point a leak found at a fitting is usually a small repair; one under the deck is scoped in writing before any cutting, in all 29 cities.
Does a leaking pool get worse if I wait?
Yes, in three ways, and year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air speed all three. Every day the autofill covers the loss you pay for water and for the chemicals that leave with it; water leaving under the deck washes out the fill and settles the deck, which opens more joints; and a pool that drops below the skimmer lets the pump suck air and run dry, which turns a leak call into a repair call. In Lighthouse Point the leak that started in spring is a bigger job by fall, which is why 786-605-7500 is worth a call early.
