Pool Leak Detection in Rockledge, FL

It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Rockledge 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 daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year 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 321-275-1900 gets the test scheduled. Call 321-275-1900 before the autofill hides it: in Rockledge a leak that runs all summer costs more in water and chemicals than the visit that finds it.

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 daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, a Rockledge leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 32 cities. Our Rockledge technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year did to the pipes.

The bucket test. A bucket on the top step, filled to the pool's level and marked, loses water only to evaporation, daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year 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 Rockledge that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 321-275-1900. In Rockledge the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 321-275-1900 has both numbers.

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 Rockledge, daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year 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 32 cities we serve. The repair is quoted separately in Rockledge, and the 60-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 321-275-1900 explains both.

Completely, until the water bill arrives, and daily storms, pollen, and water warm enough for algae most of the year hide it further. An autofill replaces what the pool loses, so the level never moves and the only symptoms are a higher bill, chemistry that will not hold, and sometimes a damp patch in the Rockledge yard. Turn the autofill off before the bucket test and leave it off for the 24 hours, or the test measures nothing; 321-275-1900 can walk you through it.
