Professional pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic leak detection to locate pool shell and plumbing leaks before they cause structural damage. Licensed CPC1459841.
An undetected pool leak can waste thousands of gallons of water per month, destabilize the soil around your pool structure, and lead to costly structural damage over time. Charlotte County's sandy soil is particularly susceptible to washout from long-term underground leaks. Community Pools LLC provides professional leak detection using proven diagnostic methods to locate leaks quickly and accurately.
Pressure testing of all underground plumbing lines to isolate leaking sections without excavation.
Dye injection at suspected leak points — fittings, lights, returns, skimmer throats — to visually confirm leak locations in the pool shell.
Electronic listening equipment to locate underground plumbing leaks without excavation in many cases.
Systematic bucket testing to distinguish between evaporation and true water loss before diagnostic testing begins.
Repair of confirmed leaks including fitting replacement, PVC pipe repair, light niche sealing, and skimmer repair.
Written report of findings, leak locations, repair recommendations, and estimated repair cost before any work begins.
Service Area
Licensed pool service throughout Charlotte and Sarasota counties and the surrounding region.
Common Questions
Losing more than 1 inch of water per week is a reliable indicator of a pool leak rather than normal evaporation. Use the bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, place it on a pool step, mark both water levels, and check after 24–48 hours with the pump off.
Professional pool leak detection in Port Charlotte typically costs $150–$350 for the diagnostic service, depending on the scope of testing required. This cost is typically recovered many times over by preventing water loss, chemical costs, and structural damage. Call 941.258.7529 for a current quote.
Many pool leaks — particularly in fittings, light niches, skimmer throats, and above-ground plumbing — can be repaired with the pool at normal water level. Underground pipe repairs may require access excavation and possibly partial draining.
Florida's hot, sunny summers significantly increase evaporation — pools can lose 1/4 to 1/2 inch per day to evaporation alone. However, if you're losing more than 1 inch per week consistently, a leak investigation is warranted. The bucket test helps distinguish evaporation from an actual leak.
