Signs you may have a pool leak

• Water loss that exceeds normal evaporation, especially with still conditions
• Air in the system, gurgling at returns, or visible bubbles from jets
• Difficulty maintaining water chemistry or unexpected salinity changes
• Damp areas near equipment, deck heaving or soft spots in landscaping
• Visible cracks around the tile line, at the skimmer throat, or at fittings
• Autofill running more than usual or the need to add water frequently

If you notice one or more of these, schedule a professional assessment before small issues become costly repairs.

Our leak detection process, built for accuracy and minimal disruption

1. Baseline measurement
   We begin with controlled water level and system checks to determine true loss and rule out evaporation or usage patterns. Our team understands automation, chemistry, and salinity interactions, which helps avoid false positives and speeds up diagnosis.
2. System isolation
   We isolate the shell from the plumbing to determine whether loss is in the vessel or in the pressure, suction, spa, or feature lines, including raised spas, infinity edges, and water features.
3. Precision testing and locating
   • Electronic listening and acoustic amplification, identifies leaks through concrete, soil, and decking with high accuracy
   • Pressure testing, confirms line integrity, section by section
   • Dye testing and visual inspection, targets fittings, light niches, skimmers, tile lines, and structural transitions
   • Specialty methods for complex builds, suspended vessels, automation-heavy waterfront estates, and custom spa, pool combinations
4. Transparent reporting and plan
   You receive a clear explanation of findings, recommended repairs, and options to prevent recurrence, including automation or chemistry adjustments that protect finishes and equipment.
5. Expert repair and remediation
   Our team executes the repair using best-in-class materials and techniques appropriate for your surface and system, then verifies the fix before returning your pool to service.

Common leak sources we repair

• Skimmer throats and bond lines, especially at plastic to concrete transitions
• Return fittings, main drains, light niches, and hydrostatic valves
• Expansion joints and tile line cracks
• Spa spillways and infinity edge troughs
• Underground plumbing for pressure, suction, and feature lines
• Autofill assemblies and overflow systems
• Structural cracking from settlement or improper construction

Automation, chemistry, and salinity advantages

Somar Pools has designed and built project-specific automation and water level control systems, including precision filling and controlled lowering functions. This expertise is particularly valuable during leak diagnostics and repair, since small changes in chemistry and salinity can mask or mimic loss. Our team calibrates systems so your pool returns to stable operation quickly, with crystal-clear water and efficient energy use.

We coordinate with builders, designers, and property managers as needed.

FAQs

How can I tell evaporation from a leak in South Florida?

Evaporation varies with temperature, humidity, wind, and sunlight. If the water loss is noticeable day to day, or your autofill is running more than usual, schedule a professional test. We baseline water loss under controlled conditions to confirm or rule out a leak.

Do you have to drain the pool to find the leak?

Usually no. Most diagnostics are performed with the pool full. Certain structural repairs or light niche issues may require partial lowering, which we manage safely with automation and water level controls.

Can you find leaks under expensive decking or delicate finishes?

Yes. We use electronic listening and targeted pressure testing to minimize disruption. If access is needed, we plan small, precise openings and restore cleanly.

Will the repair be permanent?

Repairs are specified for your surface and system. Where settlement or design factors exist, we may recommend follow-up strategies, including expansion joint work, automation tuning, or water chemistry adjustments.

Do you service saline, automation-heavy, or rooftop pools?

Yes. Our team is trained in salinity management, advanced automation, and complex hydraulics, including infinity edges and elevated vessels.

Do you work with builders, designers, and property managers?

Yes. We regularly coordinate with leading firms and can integrate leak work into renovations or ongoing maintenance for a seamless experience.
