Pool Leak Detection
in Fort Myers, FL

Is your pool losing water faster than normal, needing frequent refills, showing wet spots, pulling air into the system, or becoming harder to keep balanced? Yellow Duck Pool Repair provides professional pool leak detection for residential and commercial pools in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and nearby Southwest Florida communities.

Every leak detection visit includes an inspection of the pool and equipment, a pool dive, static testing, and additional targeted testing when indicated. If your pool is leaking, Yellow Duck will help identify the likely source and explain the next step clearly.

Schedule Pool Leak Detection Service

Signs You May Have
a Pool Leak

It may be time to schedule leak detection if you notice:
  • Frequent refilling or a water level that drops faster than expected
  • Water loss that continues even when weather conditions change
  • Air bubbles in the return lines or a pump that loses prime
  • Wet, soft, settling, or shifting areas near the pool, deck, pavers, yard, or equipment
  • Cracks around the pool surface, tile, skimmer, deck, or spa
  • An unexplained increase in your water bill
  • Pool chemistry that is harder to balance or algae that quickly returns
One symptom does not always confirm a leak, but finding the source early may reduce wasted water, chemical loss, equipment strain, and washout or settling around the pool area.

Evaporation vs.
Pool Leak

Some evaporation is normal in Southwest Florida, especially with sun, heat, wind, screen enclosures, water features, and year-round pool use.

A leak is more likely when water loss is rapid, continues over time, or happens along with wet areas, air bubbles, equipment issues, or chemical problems. A simple bucket test can compare pool water loss with normal evaporation. It does not locate the leak or replace professional testing, but it can help you decide whether to schedule service.

How Yellow Duck Finds Pool Leaks​

Yellow Duck does more than guess where the water is going. Our leak detection process combines a careful inspection, a pool dive during every visit, static testing, and targeted testing based on what the pool is showing us.

1. Preparation & Initial Review

Before the appointment, the pool should be clean and filled to its normal operating level. Yellow Duck may ask about the pool features, when the water loss happens, and whether it changes when the equipment is running.

2. Pool & Equipment Inspection

The technician checks the pool surface, tile, skimmers, main drains, lights, visible plumbing, equipment, and surrounding areas for clues that may help narrow down the source.

3. Pool Dive & Static Testing

Every Yellow Duck leak detection visit includes a pool dive. The technician inspects fittings, lights, drains, cracks, steps, benches, and other areas that cannot be fully checked from the deck, then performs a static test.

4.Targeted Testing & Findings

If the static test points to a leak, Yellow Duck may pressurize lines and use sonar or listening equipment. Dye testing, line isolation, pressure testing, or plumbing evaluation may also be used when needed. Yellow Duck will explain what was found and whether patching or a separate repair estimate is recommended.

Patching, Monitoring &
30-Day Re-Check Policy

If Yellow Duck finds a patchable leak during the leak detection visit, patching is included. A patch may not be a long-term solution in every situation, and a broken underground pipe, failed plumbing, structural concern, or other issue may require a more invasive repair and separate estimate. After the visit, monitor the pool water level closely. If the pool continues to lose water, notify the Yellow Duck office within 30 days of the invoice to schedule a free re-check. A fee may apply if the pool is not leaking.

Pool Leak Detection FAQs

How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?

Some evaporation is normal in Southwest Florida. A leak is more likely when water loss is rapid or continuous, the pool needs frequent refilling, wet spots appear, the system pulls air or loses prime, or water chemistry becomes harder to balance. A bucket test can help compare evaporation with possible water loss, but it does not locate a leak.

What does Yellow Duck include during leak detection?

Yellow Duck inspects the pool and equipment, dives the pool during every leak detection visit, and performs a static test. If results point to a leak, the technician may use pressure testing, sonar or listening equipment, dye testing, line isolation, or plumbing evaluation. If a patchable leak is found during the visit, patching is included.
