A better way to find leaks.
Our Story
Leak & Subsurface Locators is a family-owned pool leak detection company with deep roots in the South Florida pool industry. Our family began working in pools in the 1990s when Jeff’s brother, Jack, started the first family pool service business. Over time, the rest of the family joined in, and we experienced firsthand the biggest problem most pool owners face: pool leaks that waste water, damage patios, and drain wallets.
We saw customers spending money on chemicals, fighting algae, and dealing with constant water loss. Many hired expensive “leak experts” who took their money but never fixed the problem. This frustration led our family to make a big decision—someone needed to become a real pool leak detection specialist.
That person ended up being Jeff.
He trained in Orlando, then traveled several times to California to learn advanced leak detection, acoustic listening technology, dye testing, plumbing pressure testing, and underground locating from top professionals. He studied the tools, the systems, and the proven methods behind accurate leak locating. Over time, Jeff began building his own custom leak detection equipment and started teaching other professionals around the country.
Today, while the rest of the family moved on from pool service, Jeff and Sandra chose to focus 100% on what they do best:
Finding pool leaks, locating underground plumbing breaks, and protecting pools from long-term damage.
We renamed the company Leak & Subsurface Locators, LLC to reflect our specialty. Based in Palm Beach, Florida, we proudly serve Broward, Palm Beach, Martin & St. Lucie Counties with reliable, professional, and accurate leak detection services.
Our team uses state-of-the-art acoustic technology, precision testing, and a step-by-step leak locating system Jeff developed over decades. Homeowners, real estate professionals, contractors, and pool companies count on us to locate the leaks that others miss.

I had 2 leak companies try to find my leak. Each one charged me then refused to come back when my pool was still leaking. Jeff came out and meticulously searched my pool and found the leak hidden under a tile. Thanks Jeff for a job well done!!!!!

We had Leak and Subsurface Locators perform a Leak Detection on one of our big commercial pools. They provided us with a detailed report along with pictures and videos to show the board of directors. It made us look very professional. Thank you. Your company is the only leak company we will use for our properties.
