I’ve got algae growing in my pool, although I keep adding chlorine. What’s going on?
This can be an indication of a leak, as the constant water loss can cause your pool chemicals to quickly go out of balance. It can also be an indication that you are simply not using the right mix and amount of pool chemicals.

Lately I’ve had to add a lot more salt to my saltwater pool than usual. Why?
This can be an indication of a leak, as the constant water loss can cause your pool’s salt content to quickly go out of balance.

My deck is lifting and cracking or separating. Can this be caused by a water leak?
Yes. Lifting, cracking, or separating pool or spa decks are usually caused by a leak in a water line. The damage can be caused by water pooling up under the deck, causing the soil to expand. Or, if your property is on a slope and the water is leaking downhill and away from the pool, the leak can cause the soil that is under your deck to erode, which can cause your deck to start cracking and separating. Either way it’s a big problem! You'll need to call for Orange County pool repair.

We’ve got air bubbles coming into the pool. What’s going on?
Air bubbles can be caused by problems with your equipment, such as cracked gaskets around the suction side of your pump. However, if you have determined that your equipment is all in good repair, it is possible that you’re pulling air in from a broken pipe underground.

My pool pump is making a strange noise and there’s a gurgling at the skimmer area. Assuming the creature from the deep lagoon isn’t living in my pool, can you explain this?
These noises can be an indication of a water pipe leak. In this case what’s happening is the pool is losing water. Because the water in the pool is too low, the pump is losing prime and pulling in air—and making a lot of noise in the process.

What is the best way to detect a leak under a concrete deck?
For pool leak detection in this case, the lines must be pressure tested, and then a special listening device is used to locate the area of the leak. Leak Detection USA has the knowledge and specialized equipment to do this safely and accurately.
How do I know I have a leak in my pool, spa, fountain or pond?
The initial signs of a leak can be subtle. Any of the following may indicate a leak, and should be thoroughly investigated by an experienced San Diego leak detection specialist:
  • Water Loss: Excessive water loss, more than 1/4 inch per day (and in some cases, less water loss than this)
  • Deck: Cracking, separating, lifting or sinking of the pool deck
  • Pump: Gurgling at the skimmer area; pump making a strange noise and continually losing prime
  • Air Bubbles: Air bubbles coming from the return line to the pool
  • Cracks: Cracks in the pool itself or at the tile line
  • Add-Ins: Far more chlorine or salt than normal needs to be added to your traditional or saltwater pool or spa.
