Over the past several days, many South Florida homeowners noticed their pool water levels dropping rapidly — some by several inches in just a few days. Naturally, this caused concern and fear of a possible pool leak.

However, in many cases, the water loss was caused by increased evaporation, not a structural leak.

As professional pool leak detection specialists serving Miami, Homestead, and Broward County, we want to explain why cold fronts can actually increase pool evaporation, how to tell the difference between evaporation and a leak, and what steps homeowners should take before assuming the worst.

Homeowners searching for quick DIY solutions often ask the same question: “Is there something I can put in my pool water to find a leak?” The answer is yes — but with important limitations. This guide explains which products work, which don’t, and when it’s time to call a professional leak detection specialist.

Trees planted too close to a swimming pool can cause hidden and expensive problems. As roots grow, they shift soil, crack plumbing lines, push against the pool shell, and damage skimmers, return lines, and structural walls. If your pool is losing water and you have large trees nearby, root intrusion may be the cause. This guide explains how tree roots create leaks, early warning signs, and when you should schedule a professional leak detection service.
