Residential Pool Leak Detection
Our Pool Leak Detection Methods
At Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection, I combine multiple proven techniques to locate leaks quickly, safely, and accurately. Whether you’re in Miami-Dade or Broward County, these diagnostics confirm exactly where water loss is happening before any repair begins.
How I Diagnose Pool Leaks
I use the right tool for the right leak—then cross-verify so you’re not paying for guesswork.
💨 Pressure Testing
The most reliable way to diagnose underground plumbing leaks. I isolate each line—skimmer, return, spa, main drain, water feature, or auto-fill— to pinpoint where water loss occurs in Miami and Broward pools.
- Detects leaks invisible from the surface
- Prevents costly structural damage by catching issues early
- Provides precise, measurable results (no guessing)
- Reduces unnecessary digging or repairs
Each line is sealed and pressurized while gauges monitor drops—confirming the leak for targeted repair.
🪣 Bucket Test + Leakalyzer®
The fastest way to determine evaporation vs. a true leak. I pair a classic bucket test with Leakalyzer® data that measures down to 1/10,000th of an inch—then confirm trends for Miami-Dade and Broward County pools.
- Separates normal evaporation from true leaks
- Confirms findings with high-precision data graphs
- Prevents unnecessary service calls or repairs
- Saves time and money before advanced testing
🎧 Hydrophone Leak Detection
Ultra-sensitive underwater microphones “listen” for air or water escaping through a leak—ideal for coastal or older pools in Miami and Broward.
- Finds leaks you can’t see visually
- Pinpoints exact locations without needless digging
- Works on complex pools with spas/water features
- Speeds repairs and reduces cost
🩸 Dye Testing
When leaks are suspected near lights, fittings, cracks, or tile lines, dye testing provides visual confirmation—great for quick checks around drains and skimmers in Miami and Broward County.
- Targets visible cracks, seams, and fixtures
- Offers clear, visual proof of a leak
- Confirms where repairs are truly needed
- Minimal disruption—no invasive work
🔊 Ultrasonic Listening
Highly sensitive devices pick up faint ultrasonic signatures from escaping water/air in pipes or structure—perfect for difficult cases across Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Detects leaks buried in concrete or under decking
- Avoids unnecessary breaking of surfaces
- Excellent when visual/pressure tests are inconclusive
- Pinpoints location to save time and repair costs
