What Are The Symptoms of a Pool Leak
Pool leak repairs should never be procrastinated. Not only do pool leaks lead to higher water bills and more money spent on maintenance, but it will eventually lead to expensive damages to your pool and yard. Catching a leak before it spreads is key to ensuring the longevity of your pool. As a homeowner, its important that you are aware of the common signs to look for so you can contact a leak detection company as soon as possible.
Here are key signs that you might need pool leak repair:
Unexpected Water Loss
If your pool’s water level is decreasing faster than expected and it’s not due to evaporation, splash-out, or backwashing, it might be a leak.
Wet Spots Around The Pool
Look for damp or soggy areas around the pool, particularly near the equipment pad. This could indicate a plumbing or structural leak.
Increased Chemical Usage
If you find yourself frequently adjusting the pool’s chemical levels, a leak might be causing water (and chemicals) to escape.
Algae Growth
Unexpected algae growth can be a sign of dilution from fresh water entering the pool through a leak.
Higher Water Bills
An unusual spike in your water bill can indicate that your pool is losing water due to a leak.

Most Common Pool Leak Repairs
At Arizona Leak Pros, we've fixed pretty much every type of pool leak imaginable. These are the most common repairs we perform:
Skimmer Leak Repair
Skimmer leaks are a common issue, especially in older pools. In inground pools, the skimmer is encased in concrete and can develop cracks at the interface.
Skimmer leaks often manifest as water loss near the skimmer area. Repairing skimmer leaks can involve replacing worn gaskets, patching cracks with appropriate sealants, and even complete replacement.
Autofill Leak Repair
Automatic pool levelers (or autofills) designed to maintain consistent water levels, can also develop leaks. These devices are connected to your pool’s plumbing system and can leak at the connection points or within the leveler itself.
Leaks in pool levelers can lead to continuous water loss and imbalance in your pool’s water chemistry.
Underground
Plumbing Repair
Underground plumbing leaks can cause significant issues. These leaks typically occur where the pipes turn vertical near the equipment pad or under the pool. They can result from ground shifts, improper installation, or age-related wear and tear.
Diagnosing underground leaks often involves pressure testing the plumbing lines and using specialized equipment to pinpoint the leak’s exact location. Repairs may require excavation and replacement of damaged pipes.
Structural Crack Repair
Structural cracks in the pool shell are a serious issue that can lead to significant water loss and structural damage if left alone. These cracks can occur due to various factors, including ground movement or improper construction. Common areas for structural cracks include the pool floor, walls, and around fittings like lights and returns.
Repairing structural cracks involves draining the pool to the affected level, cleaning the crack, and applying a professional-grade patching compound. In severe cases, more extensive repairs, such as replacing sections of the pool shell or deck, may be necessary.
Timing Is Everything
Why You Shouldn't Ignore Pool Leaks
Costly Water Bills
A leaking pool can significantly increase your water bills. Even a small leak can result in substantial water loss over time, leading to unnecessary expenses that could have been avoided with early detection and repair.
Increased Chemical Usage
Leaking pools lose not only water but also the chemicals used to maintain water quality. This means you’ll need to add more chemicals to balance the pool water, which increases maintenance costs and effort.
Structural Damage
Unaddressed leaks can cause serious structural damage to your pool and its surrounding areas. Water seeping into the ground can erode the soil, leading to the shifting of the pool foundation, cracking of the deck, and even undermining the stability of the pool itself.
Equipment Malfunction
Low water levels due to leaks can cause the pool pump to overheat and malfunction. This can result in expensive repairs or replacements. Additionally, leaks around the equipment pad can lead to corrosion and damage to vital pool components.
Algae & Bacteria Growth
Persistent leaks can lead to imbalanced water chemistry, which creates an ideal environment for algae and bacteria to thrive. This not only makes your pool unattractive but can also pose health risks to swimmers.
Potential For Larger Issues
What starts as a small leak can quickly become a larger, more complex problem if left unattended. Early leak detection and repair are essential to prevent minor issues from escalating into major repairs that are more costly and time-consuming.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you schedule a repair after detecting a leak?
Once we've completed your leak detection service and identified the source of your leak, we will send a detailed report of our findings along with an estimate for the suggested repairs. Once you approve that estimate, we'll typically come out to do the repairs within 3-5 days. Our pool leak repair team understands that an unresolved leak costs you money every day, so we prioritize efficient scheduling and completion of all repair work.
How long do pool leak repairs typically last?
Our pool leak repairs are designed to be permanent solutions, not temporary fixes. When properly executed, most repairs will last for many years or even the remaining lifetime of your pool. Factors that affect longevity include the type of repair, pool construction, soil conditions, and ongoing maintenance. We stand behind our work and are always transparent about the expected lifespan of different repair methods.
Is it less expensive to repair my pool now or wait until I'm ready to refinish it completely?
Addressing leaks promptly is almost always more cost-effective than waiting. Active leaks cause ongoing damage that often extends beyond the pool itself, potentially affecting surrounding decking, landscaping, and even your home's foundation in severe cases. Additionally, the water and chemical costs from an unrepaired leak add up quickly. When we make repairs now, we can typically integrate them with your future refinishing plans, giving you immediate protection without compromising long-term aesthetics.
