Pool Leak Detection Parkland, FL - Broken cleaner line

A homeowner in Parkland, FL contacted us after noticing their newly remodeled gunite pool was losing water every day. Since the pool finish and equipment were brand new, they couldn’t figure out why the level kept dropping. That’s when they called Leak & Subsurface Locators for help.

We began the pool leak detection in Parkland, FL by scanning the entire pool with our electronic leak locating equipment. The system showed a strong leak signal at the vacuum line, which pointed us in the right direction.

Next, we performed a dye test around the vacuum fitting to confirm the problem — and sure enough, the dye was pulled directly into the cleaner line, showing clear water movement toward the leak.

To verify the leak’s location and severity, we pressure tested the vacuum line. The line quickly lost pressure, confirming an underground break. We then used our electronic listening equipment to precisely pinpoint the leak, which was located under the patio approximately 12 inches from the pool wall.
