Pool Losing Water?
Losing Water? Don’t Wait.
If your swimming pool is losing water, the issue may be more than normal evaporation. Pool leaks can come from plumbing lines, return lines, skimmers, pool lights, cracked surfaces, structural cracks, equipment issues, or worn fittings. Finding the source early can help prevent expensive pool repairs, deck damage, water waste, and ongoing chemical imbalance.
Nelson Pool Company provides professional pool leak detection in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities. Our team uses pool-specific inspection methods to help locate leaks and recommend the right repair, resurfacing, or renovation solution.

- Cracked, missing, or falling tiles
- Air in return lines or pump

Pool Leak Detection Questions
Questions About Your Pool Leak?
Answers to common questions homeowners ask about pool leak detection and repairs in Sarasota and Southwest Florida.
How do I know if my pool is actually leaking?
Some water loss is normal from evaporation, but if your pool is losing more than about ¼ inch of water per day, needs constant refilling, or you’re seeing higher water bills and unstable chemistry, a leak is likely. Our team can perform a professional inspection to confirm the source.
What causes pool leaks?
Swimming pool leaks can come from several areas, including pool plumbing lines, return lines, skimmers, pool lights, cracked pool shells, deteriorating surfaces, equipment connections, fittings, or aging tile and coping. Finding the source early can help prevent water waste, deck damage, structural problems, and more expensive pool repairs.
How do you find the leak?
Our pool leak detection process uses pool-specific inspection methods to help locate the source of water loss. Depending on the issue, we may use pressure testing, dye testing, underwater inspection, visual inspection, and equipment diagnostics to check for plumbing leaks, structural leaks, skimmer leaks, return line leaks, and surface-related problems.
Will you damage my pool or deck to find the leak?
In most cases, pool leak detection is non-invasive. Our goal is to locate the leak without unnecessary damage to your pool, paver deck, coping, or surrounding outdoor area. Once the leak is found, we’ll explain the issue and recommend the right repair, resurfacing, or renovation option.
What happens after you find the leak?
After we locate the pool leak, we’ll review the findings with you and recommend the next step. Some leaks can be handled with targeted pool repairs, while others may reveal bigger issues such as cracked surfaces, aging plumbing, damaged tile, failing coping, or the need for pool resurfacing or renovation.
