Protecting Your Investment with Expert Leak Detection & Repair
Don’t let a hidden leak drain your wallet and damage your property. Pool leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water, drive up utility bills, and cause serious structural damage to your pool deck and surrounding landscape. With over 30 years of experience serving the Sacramento region, Pool Time Pool & Spa’s leak detection specialists have the expertise to quickly locate and repair leaks before they become costly disasters.
Do You Have a Pool Leak?
While some water loss is normal due to evaporation and splash-out, losing 2 inches or more of water per week is a clear sign of a leak problem that needs immediate attention.
Common Signs of Pool Leaks
Visible Indicators:
- Water evident around pool and pump filter equipment
- Cracks in the pool decking — deck sinking or lifting
- Cracks in plumbing — soggy grass or ground adjacent to the pool
- Fine cracks on the side of the pool — common with older pools
- Pump won’t prime — typically caused by leaks in suction lines or clogged baskets
- Unusually lush patches of grass near the pool area
- Soft or sinking spots in the ground around your pool
Hidden Leak Locations:
- Failed suction or return lines underground
- Leaks in main drain and return outlets
- Leaks around pool lights and electrical fittings
- Skimmer leaks and fitting failures
- Underground plumbing connections and joints
Where Pool Leaks Commonly Occur
Equipment Area: Pumps, filters, heaters, valves, and fittings are under constant pressure and can develop leaks at connection points, gaskets, and seals.
Underground Plumbing: Supply lines, return lines, and suction lines buried beneath your deck and landscape are vulnerable to ground movement, root intrusion, and age-related deterioration.
Pool Structure: Skimmers, main drains, light fixtures, and step areas where fittings penetrate the pool shell are common leak points due to shifting and seal failure.
Deck & Surrounding Areas: Cracks in your pool deck often indicate underground leaks that have washed away supporting soil, creating dangerous structural instability.
