4-Method Detection Protocol

How We Find Hidden Leaks

South Florida pools leak in places the eye can't see. Carlito uses four independent methods on every job — because one method alone misses what the others find.

📊

Leakalyzer® Sensor

Measures water loss to 1/10,000th of an inch. Confirms an active leak vs. normal South Florida evaporation before any further testing begins.

🔧

Pressure Testing

Isolates each underground line — skimmer, returns, main drain, spa — and pressurizes individually to pinpoint exactly where water escapes.

🎨

Dye Testing

Precision dye injected around lights, fittings, steps, and tile lines makes microscopic cracks immediately visible.

🔊

Ultrasonic Hydrophone

The XLT-30 listens for the acoustic signature of underground leaks — finds what eyes and pressure tests alone cannot detect.

South Florida's Strongest Leak Detection Warranty

Most pool leak detection companies in Miami and Broward offer only a 30-day warranty. Carlito's Way backs every detection with a full 90 days — 3× the industry standard. South Florida's shifting limestone, high water tables, and rain season can stress repairs for weeks after service. If you notice any water loss within 90 days, Carlito returns free of charge to re-test and verify. No questions asked. Read the full warranty →

Common Questions

Pool Leak Detection FAQ

How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
In South Florida, normal evaporation is about ¼ inch per day. If you're losing more than 1 inch every 4 days, that's a strong sign of a leak. Use our free Evaporation vs Leak Guide or our Water Loss Calculator before calling.
How much does pool leak detection cost in Miami and Broward?
Flat-rate pricing: Pool Only $325 · Pool + Spa $375 · Infinity Edge $450. Use code SAVE25 to save $25 on any service ($300 / $350 / $425 with code). Waterfall and fountain lines are included at no upcharge. Exact price quoted before we schedule — no surprises.
Is there an upcharge for waterfall or fountain lines?
No — waterfall lines, fountain plumbing, and decorative water features connected to your pool system are tested as part of the flat-rate service. No upcharge, no surprises.
Can you come out the same day or on weekends?
Yes — same-day, next-day, and weekend appointments are available across Miami-Dade and Broward County. Call or text (786) 382-3367 and Carlito answers personally. No call center, no voicemail.
Do you drain the pool to find the leak?
Never. Draining a South Florida pool is dangerous — the high water table can generate enough hydrostatic pressure to pop the pool shell out of the ground. All detection is performed with the pool full using non-invasive methods.
Are patches included in the price?
Yes — standard patches including epoxy, butyl tape, 5-minute hardener, and threaded plugs are always included in the flat-rate price. If a major structural repair is needed, you receive a separate written quote before any additional work begins.
What's the most common cause of pool leaks in South Florida?
The most common sources are skimmer cracks, return line fittings, pool light niches, and main drain fittings. South Florida's limestone substrate, high water table, and seasonal soil movement accelerate these failures compared to other parts of the country.
What if Carlito doesn't find a leak?
If the Leakalyzer® confirms no active water loss beyond normal evaporation, you receive a full documented report. You'll know definitively whether your water loss is a leak or evaporation. Pricing for a no-leak confirmation is always discussed upfront before the appointment.
