Pool Leak Detection for Longwood
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Longwood problem
Longwood pools in Sweetwater Oaks and Sabal Point sit on the porous limestone of the Wekiva basin, where sinkholes open every few years and a leaking line drains into the rock without a trace, under live oaks old enough to have roots wrapped around the original plumbing. If the level keeps falling after the bucket test rules out evaporation, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Rock and roots pull in the same direction on a Longwood pool: the limestone takes the water and the oaks take the line, so we pressure test each return separately and dye-test the fittings nearest the biggest tree before the shell.
How a Longwood pool shows a leak
From the leak crew
A return that lost flow on one side, air in the pump basket, a level that drops more with the pump running, a deck slab lifted by a root, a light that quit after the level fell, or a water bill that climbed in the dry season are the clues worth a call. Limestone does not hold water, so a Longwood leak almost never produces a soft spot in the lawn.
Return lines lifted by oak roots, skimmer throats on settled decks, and light niches on the 1970s and 1980s pools in Sweetwater Oaks and historic Longwood are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Longwood 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, Greater OrlandoWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
An inch a day usually means a leak, not the weather, even with daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year. Evaporation takes a quarter inch or so on a hot Longwood day and far less in humid or cool weather; wind, a heater, a spa spillway, and daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year push it up, but not to an inch. Run the bucket test, a bucket on the step filled to the pool level, 24 hours with the autofill off, and compare: water lost beyond what the bucket lost is leaking, most often at the skimmer, a return line, or a light niche, the pattern in all 32 cities we serve. Detection is warranted for 60 days in Longwood when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 32 cities we serve.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
Work from the easy checks to the hard ones, with daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year in mind. Look at the pad first for a wet pump seal or a weeping filter; then run the bucket test for a day with the autofill off; then let the water level tell you where it stops, since a stop at the skimmer, at the light, or at the returns each points to a different suspect, and in Longwood the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 321-275-1900 away. The 60-day detection warranty applies in Longwood when Blue Science makes the repair, across all 32 cities we serve.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
The bucket test, and it costs nothing, daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year or not. Set a bucket on the top step, fill it to match the pool, mark both lines, and leave the pool running normally for a day with the autofill off; if the pool drops more than the bucket, the difference is a leak. That tells you there is one; finding it in a Longwood pool usually takes pressure testing the suction and return lines and dye testing the fittings, lights, and skimmer, which is what the detection visit does in all 32 cities. The bucket test is also how our Longwood technicians check the repair afterward, against daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Longwood?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year work on a Longwood yard, and every joint between them, the skimmer throat, the return fittings, the light niche, the spa spillway, is where a leak starts. Structural cracks are rare by comparison and easier to see, which is why the visit tests the joints first, in every one of the 32 cities we serve. Once fixed, a Longwood pool on weekly service gets its water level checked every visit, whatever daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year bring.
Can a pool leak be in the plumbing under the deck?
Often it is, and daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year make it likelier. Suction lines from the skimmer and main drain and the return lines to the jets all run under the deck, and they are the lines a shifting Longwood deck stresses most as daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year work on it; pressure testing isolates each line and shows which one will not hold, and locating equipment narrows the break to a spot before anything is opened. Detection and repair are quoted separately, so you approve a defined fix rather than a search, the same way in all 32 cities.
