Lantana is a small coastal town on the Intracoastal south of West Palm Beach, with a mix of older established pools and newer renovations. When a Lantana pool is losing water, or a homeowner just wants a system fully documented, Leak and Subsurface Locators tests every fitting and line individually, rather than stopping at whatever looks like the obvious culprit. Most estimates are handled over the phone with the price given upfront.
Pool Leak Detection Services in Lantana
Acoustic Listening
Hydrophone inspection of every pool fitting, plus ground microphone listening along underground plumbing paths.
Water Pressure Testing
Each plumbing line isolated and tested individually through a custom-built manifold, with multiple verified runs.
Dye Testing
Visual confirmation at skimmers, returns, light niches, and any suspected crack in the pool shell.
Pipe Locating (Rarely Needed)
Years in the field usually tell us where a pool's lines run, so electronic locating is reserved for the rare job that truly needs it: mapping an underground line before excavation when the route can't be read any other way.
Trace Gas (When Needed)
Specialized hydrogen-nitrogen or helium gas detection for breaks that acoustic methods cannot pinpoint.
Written Documentation
Every visit produces a written report and photo documentation of all findings.
A Clean Result That Still Turned Up Something Worth Knowing
Not every visit finds a leak, and a recent Lantana evaluation is a clear example. The skimmer, the second skimmer, light niches, main drain, and every interior outlet and fitting all tested clean with no leaks observed. The full piping system, skimmer, second skimmer, cleaner line, main drain, and returns, passed high-pressure testing across the board. But the inspection turned up something worth documenting anyway: an unmarked pipe on the main circulation system, labeled "pool main drain," that was not actually connected to the pool's drain at all. Where that pipe actually leads was not identifiable from the visit. It is exactly the kind of thing that stays invisible until someone traces every line rather than assuming the labels are correct.
From This Evaluation
A clean report is still a useful report. Knowing definitively that the skimmer, drain, returns, and light are all sound, and having a mislabeled pipe on record before it becomes a mystery during a future renovation, is exactly the kind of documentation a full diagnostic visit is built to produce.

What a Visit Costs
Most Lantana estimates are handled on the phone. Describe what the pool is doing, how much water it is losing, and roughly how old it is, and you will get a price upfront rather than a technician dispatched to your driveway to quote you in person.
Some work genuinely does require a site visit before a price can be given. Underground pipe repair is the common one, because what is over the pipe changes the job completely and a photo rarely tells the whole story. Concrete, pavers, multiple patios stacked over each other, pipes below the water table, stacked runs, mature root systems, and nearby electrical all change the scope. Equipment installation is the same. In those cases the visit is scheduled and explained first.
Before You Call: Run the Bucket Test
A 24-hour bucket test tells you whether your pool is losing water beyond normal evaporation, and it costs you nothing but a day. The guide below walks through it step by step, and the calculator compares your loss against an expected baseline.

Most estimates for Lantana pools are given over the phone with the price stated upfront before anything is scheduled. Some work, particularly underground pipe repair and equipment installation, requires a site visit before an accurate price can be given, because what sits over the pipe determines the scope.
It gets documented, not ignored. On a recent Lantana evaluation, every fitting and the full piping system tested completely clean, no leaks anywhere. But the inspection turned up an unmarked pipe on the main circulation system labeled "pool main drain" that was not actually connected to the pool's drain, and its true connection point was unknown. Even with a clean bill of health on active leaks, that kind of anomaly gets written up so a homeowner knows exactly what is and isn't accounted for in their system.
Scheduling for Lantana depends on the week and on where the route runs. Call Sandra Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, to check current availability and confirm a visit time.
