💦 Facing the Fear of Pool Leak Detection
By Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection – Miami-Dade & Broward County
You’d be surprised how many homeowners hesitate to call for pool leak detection in Miami or Broward County. I understand — it can feel like a confession, admitting your pool might have a problem and bracing for bad news.
Many homeowners go through a kind of denial stage — blaming the weather, thinking evaporation is normal, or trusting a neighbor who says, “my pool loses water too.” But after a while, the signs become hard to ignore: higher water bills, persistent algae, and a frustrated pool tech ready to raise your rate or walk away altogether.
🧠 The Truth: Most Leaks Aren’t as Bad as You Think
When I finally arrive at a home in Miami or Broward, most people expect the worst — broken pipes, heavy digging, or huge repair bills. But the reality is, most leaks are simple fixes. A little epoxy, a patch, or turning off a valve can often stop the problem.
Even major issues like skimmer or suction line leaks can be temporarily capped or isolated until you’re ready for a permanent repair. I’ve even had cases where water loss came from a drain valve left open— quietly dumping water into a lake or canal. Once closed and labeled, the “leak” was gone.
⚠️ The One Leak You Can’t Ignore
Not all leaks are equal. The toughest type is a pool return line leak. Unlike suction lines, return lines constantly push water out — making them impossible to isolate without repair.
Unfortunately, some companies pressure homeowners to repair right away without explaining options. At Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection, my goal is honesty and clarity. I’ll always show you what’s going on, discuss the options, and help you make the best decision for your situation — whether you’re in Miami, Broward, or anywhere in between.
💧 My Promise
Yes, this is how I feed my family — but I’m human first. If you’re ready to fix your leak, great — we’ll get it done right. But if you’re not ready financially, I’ll find a temporary solution to stop the water loss and buy you time.
So don’t avoid it any longer. If you suspect a leak, call Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection in Miami or schedule a Broward pool inspection. I’ll walk you through the process step by step and give you every option possible to ease your stress and protect your pool.

💧 Our 90-Day Warranty Beats the 30-Day Standard
Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection – Miami-Dade & Broward County
At Carlito’s Way Pool Leak Detection, we don’t just find your pool’s leaks — we stand behind our detections and patch(es) long after the job is done. While most companies in South Florida only offer a 30-day warranty, we provide a full 90-day warranty on every verified leak detection and the patch(es) included in the detection price.
🔧 What Our 90-Day Warranty Covers
- Comprehensive inspection of pool, spa, and equipment.
- Photo/video documentation of any detected leaks and patch(es).
- Leakalyzer® verification to confirm the pool is holding water before we leave.
If you notice unusual water loss within 90 days, we’ll return free of charge to re-check and verify our work. No hidden fees — just accountability.
🧠 Why 30 Days Isn’t Enough in South Florida
Shifting soil, heavy rain, and water-table pressure can cause small leaks to move or reappear weeks later. That’s why the typical 30-day warranty often expires before you’ve had time to truly monitor your pool. Our 90-day window gives you time to swim, maintain chemistry, and verify long-term stability.

Pool Leak Detection Tips, Case Studies & Local Guides
Miami-Dade & Broward Pool Leak Detection – Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
A pool typically loses up to 1/4 inch of water per day to evaporation. If you're losing more than 1 inch every 4 days, you likely have a leak.
What is the most common area for pool leaks?
The most common sources are skimmers, return lines, light niches, and cracks near tiles or coping.
How much does professional pool leak detection cost?
Leak detection in South Florida typically ranges from $325 – $600, depending on pool size and complexity.
Can you fix a pool leak without draining the pool?
Yes — most leaks can be repaired underwater using specialized equipment without draining the pool.
How do professionals find underground pool leaks?
Professionals use pressure testing, ultrasonic listening equipment, dye tests, and Leakalyzer® digital measurement systems.
Will homeowners insurance cover a pool leak?
Insurance may cover leaks caused by sudden damage. Wear-and-tear or aging-related leaks are usually not covered.
Is it normal to lose an inch of water a day in a pool?
No — in South Florida, losing up to 1/4 inch is normal. More than that likely means a leak.
How do I know if my pool is leaking underground?
Warning signs include constant refilling, soggy ground near pool plumbing, unstable chemistry, or rising water bills.
What’s the difference between hiring a large leak detection company and an owner-operated specialist?
Large companies often rotate techs and charge more to cover overhead. With an owner-operator, you get personal service, consistent communication, accurate diagnostics, and honest pricing — without the risk of a “new trainee” guessing.

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.
