Spring & Summer 2026 — South Florida's Peak Leak Season. Higher water tables, heavy rain, and year-round heat accelerate pool leaks April through August. A 1-inch-per-day leak wastes over 7,500 gallons monthly and can cost $800–$1,200 per year. Fix it before summer hits full force.

How We Find Hidden Leaks
Leakalyzer® Sensor
Measures water loss to 1/10,000th of an inch — confirms leak vs. normal South Florida evaporation before any further testing begins.
Pressure Testing
Isolates each underground line — skimmer, returns, main drain, spa — and pressurizes to pinpoint exactly where water escapes.
Dye Testing
Precision dye injected around lights, fittings, steps, and tile lines makes microscopic cracks visible immediately.
Ultrasonic Hydrophone
The XLT-30 listens for the acoustic signature of underground leaks — finds what eyes and pressure tests alone cannot detect.

Google Review
"From the moment I contacted him, Carlos was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. He didn't just check the pool — he investigated every detail until he found the exact source of the leak that other companies completely missed. Video proof and a full report within minutes. He treats every pool like it's his own."

Google Review
"Carlito found 2 leaks — one in my skimmer and one in my pool light. Patched both on the spot. Water level has been holding great ever since. He even fixed my pool timer at no charge. Very professional and timely. Highly recommend."

90-Day Warranty — South Florida's Strongest Guarantee
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 a 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 →
Frequently Asked Questions
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 to check before calling. Carlito also offers a free Leakalyzer® screening to confirm before booking a full inspection.
Carlito's Way charges flat-rate pricing from $325–$600 depending on pool size and complexity. Text a photo of your pool and equipment pad to (786) 382-3367 for an exact price before we schedule — no surprises. Use code SAVE25 for $25 off this week. See the full Spring Special offer →

Never. Draining a South Florida pool is dangerous — the high water table can generate enough hydrostatic pressure to physically pop the pool shell out of the ground. All leak detection is performed with the pool full, using non-invasive pressure testing, dye testing, and ultrasonic listening.
Yes — standard patches including epoxy, butyl tape, 5-minute hardener, and threaded plugs are always included in the flat-rate detection price. No surprise upsells. If a major structural repair is needed (like a cracked underground pipe), you receive a separate written quote before any additional work begins.
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 create unique stress on pool structures that accelerates these failures compared to other parts of the country.
If the Leakalyzer® confirms no active water loss beyond normal South Florida evaporation, Carlito documents the results and gives you a full report. You'll know definitively whether your water loss is a leak or evaporation — which has value in itself. Pricing for a no-leak confirmation visit is discussed upfront before the appointment.
