Pool Leak Detection in Boca Raton

Pool leak detection in Boca Raton starts with a simple question: is the water loss a leak or just evaporation? We help you rule out evaporation first, then locate the real source and document exactly what we find so you can decide on a repair.

What's included

  • Help ruling out evaporation before any paid work begins.
  • A check of the pool, equipment pad and plumbing for the source.
  • Testing to narrow down whether the loss is in the shell or the lines.
  • A clear explanation of where the leak is and what it will take to fix.
  • Findings documented with photos so you can decide with a full picture.
  • The whole visit logged in Pool Brain.

How it works

  1. 1

    Spot the signs

    Your technician flags a possible leak from the weekly data: a salt level that keeps dropping week over week (needing more salt than normal), or a water level that stays persistently low.

  2. 2

    Confirm with the bucket test

    We offer a paid bucket test: your pool level is compared against a bucket of water over 24 hours to separate a real leak from evaporation. The cost depends on the size of the pool.

  3. 3

    Document the findings

    We show you what we found with photos and notes, so you can decide on the repair.

The bucket test: leak or evaporation?

The bucket test compares your pool level against a bucket of water over 24 hours to tell whether the water loss is a real leak or just evaporation. We offer it as a paid service; the cost depends on the size of the pool. Here is how it works:

  1. 1Fill a bucket with pool water and set it on the top step, so the bucket water and the pool water start at the same level.
  2. 2Mark the water line inside the bucket and the pool water line on the outside of the bucket.
  3. 3Leave the pump running as normal and wait 24 hours, avoiding heavy rain if you can.
  4. 4Compare the two lines. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you likely have a leak. If both dropped about the same, it is evaporation.
