Do you suspect your pool has a leak in Palm Beach?
If you see rapid water loss, bubbles at the return, or damp spots around your pool, you may have a leak. Every pool is different, and even a small pool leak can lead to damage. Our leak detection team can pinpoint the location of the leak and fix it before it spreads.
Quick signs your pool may have a leak
- Water loss over ¼–½ inch per day (beyond normal evaporation)
- Air in the pump, gurgling sounds, or visible cracks (structural or along the tile line)
- Wet soil near the deck, skimmer, or pipe connections
- Stains near a fitting, light niche, or main drain
- Trouble holding chemical balance
“Don’t throw money away on a leaky pool, a fast repair protects your pool, your yard, and your wallet.”
What causes a pool leak in Florida’s coastal climate?
In Florida (FL), the combination of sun, storms, and soil all adds stress. Intense sunlight can dry and crack surfaces; storms add debris and surge loads; sandy soil can shift and open structural cracks. These local factors make leak detection and repair time-sensitive in Palm Beach County.
How do our leak detection services work?
We use state-of-the-art equipment and proven leak detection methods to locate leaks with minimal disruption:
- Dye testing around suspected points (skimmer, light, steps, tile and tile line)
- Pressure testing of pipe runs to isolate underground and spa loops
- Electronic listening and using sophisticated technology for a precise read
- Camera and inspection of equipment pads and fittings
Our technician explains each step, then recommends a patch or a replacement only where it’s needed, to restore full functionality.
Gator Leak Detection has completed 5,000+ leak detections and serves West Palm Beach, Palm Beach and nearby cities with state-of-the-art processes and fast service.
Where is the location of the leak? We pinpoint it fast.
Common sources include a cracked skimmer throat, loose fitting, failing light conduit, or an underground pipe break. We specialize in finding and repairing leaks quickly so you can swim sooner. If the issue is in the surface finish, we provide a clean repair and guidance on long-term care.
What swimming pool equipment and components can leak?
Typical equipment and component of your pool areas we check:
- Pump, filter, and heater unions (equipment pads)
- Main drain, suction lines, returns, and spa jets
- Lights, vac ports, skimmers, and auto-fills
- Shell cracks, beam cracks near the deck, and gaps along the tile line
We focus on efficiency, fast testing, clear results, and targeted repair to limit downtime.
Repair options: patch or a replacement?
Minor issues may need a resin patch or a replacement o-ring; severe damage may require replacement of a component. If a pipe has a failure under the deck, we may perform a small demo cut for a durable repair. One clean pool repair gets you back to normal.
How much water loss is normal vs. a real leak?
Wind and heat cause evaporation, but large water loss, especially in calm, humid weather, often points to a leak. In South Florida, evaporation varies with wind and humidity, so testing is wise when numbers rise.
