As a pool owner, unexpected water loss can be both frustrating and costly. Ignoring the early signs of a pool leak can lead to significant damage and higher repair costs. In this guide, we’ll uncover the top 5 signs your pool may have a leak and explain how Colin Irons Pool Leak Detection and Repair Service can provide fast and effective solutions.

Unexplained Water Loss

It’s normal for pools to lose some water due to evaporation, especially during hot weather. However, if you’re refilling your pool more than once a week, your swimming pool may have a leak.

Soggy or Damp Areas Around the Pool

If you see unusually green grass near your pool or notice water pooling in some areas, this can indicate the presence of underground leaks.

  • Soil Erosion: Leaking water can erode soil, causing structural issues.
  • Foundation Damage: Prolonged leaks may affect your home’s foundation.

Cracks or Gaps in Pool Structure

Visible cracks in the pool shell, tiles, or deck can be both a cause and a result of leaks.

  • Structural Integrity: Cracks can worsen over time, leading to more significant leaks.
  • Safety Hazard: Loose tiles or surfaces can pose risks to swimmers.

Increased Chemical Consumption

If you’re adding chemicals more frequently to maintain water balance, a leak could be diluting your pool water.

  • Cost Implications: Higher chemical usage increases maintenance costs.
  • Water Quality: Unbalanced chemicals can lead to algae growth and bacteria.

Air in the Pool Pump System

Bubbles coming out of the return jets or a noisy pump can signal air entering the system due to a leak.

  • Equipment Strain: Air can cause the pump to work harder, leading to wear and tear.
  • Efficiency Loss: Reduced water circulation affects pool cleanliness.
