Pool Leak Detection

If your pool is losing more than a quarter inch of water per day beyond normal evaporation, you likely have a leak. Sawgrass Construction Solutions Leak Detection uses non-invasive electronic listening, pressure testing, and dye tracing to pinpoint pool leaks across Northeast Florida — no jackhammers, no guesswork, no unnecessary deck demolition.

How do I know if my pool has a leak?

The clearest signs of a pool leak are losing more than a quarter inch of water per day, wet spots around the deck or equipment pad, air bubbles in the return jets, or a constantly running auto-fill. If you're seeing any of these, call us before your water bill spikes or the pool shell suffers further damage.

• Pool drops more than 1/4 inch per day (beyond evaporation)
• Wet or settling areas around the pool deck
• Air bubbles returning through pool jets
• Auto-fill running constantly or unusually often
• Cracks visible in the pool shell, tile line, or bond beam

How does pool leak detection work?

Our pool leak detection process combines electronic listening (a sensitive microphone that hears water escaping under pressure), pressure testing of plumbing lines, and dye testing at suspected shell cracks. We isolate every component — skimmer, main drain, return lines, lights — until we have the exact leak source pinpointed to within inches.

• Bucket test to confirm a leak vs evaporation
• Visual inspection of equipment pad, deck, and shell
• Pressure test isolating each plumbing line
• Electronic listening at suspected leak zones
• Dye testing at shell cracks and skimmer mouths

What does pool leak detection cost?

Most pool leak detection jobs fall in the $350-$650 range depending on pool size, equipment complexity, and how many lines need to be isolated. We provide a flat-rate quote upfront before starting any work — no hourly billing surprises. If we can't find your leak, we don't charge for the inspection.

How long does it take?

A typical pool leak detection takes 1.5 to 3 hours on site. We arrive with all equipment, run the full test sequence, and walk you through the findings before we leave. Most jobs are completed in a single visit — you don't need to take a full day off work.

Why choose a local Northeast Florida pool leak detection company?

Sawgrass Leak Detection has served Northeast Florida pool owners for over 40 years. We know which neighborhoods have older PVC plumbing, which subdivisions sit on shifting limestone, and which builders used which pool shell systems. That local knowledge cuts diagnosis time in half compared to out-of-area contractors.
