Pools naturally lose small amounts of water due to evaporation, but consistent water loss is often a sign of a leak. And if it's left untreated, leaks can cause higher water bills, unbalanced water, and damage on your pool equipment.
As water levels drop, your pump, filter, and heater are forced to work harder which increases wear and the risk of expensive repairs. Leaks can also weaken your pool’s underlying structure over time, leading to cracks, shifting, and more extensive damage.
We use a combination of plumbing system testing and structural inspection to accurately locate leaks without unnecessary damage.
Plumbing Leak Test: We use professional, non-invasive equipment to test your pool’s plumbing lines, returns, skimmers, and underground pipes to identify pressure loss and pinpoint hidden leaks.
Structural Leak Test: We apply specialized dye testing and visual inspections to detect leaks in your pool shell, tile, fittings, and other surface areas, even in small cracks or hard-to-see locations.
Pools require consistent care to stay clean, safe, and functioning properly. Without regular maintenance, common issues can build up quickly, including:
You’re adding water more than once a week
Water level drops more than ¼ inch per day
You’re using more chemicals than usual
Your water bill is higher than normal
Cracks, loose tiles, or shifting around the pool
Wet spots or soft ground near your pool

Reliable, professional, and easy to work with. Paradise Pool Service keeps our pool clean and ready all the time. The weekly schedule makes a big difference, and I love not having to worry about maintenance anymore.

We switched to Paradise Pool Service for weekly maintenance, and it’s been a huge difference. The water is always clear, and I don’t have to think about chemicals or cleaning anymore. They show up on time every week and keep everything running perfectly. Highly recommend if you want a stress-free pool.

I used to try maintaining my pool myself, but it never stayed consistent. Since starting weekly service with Paradise, the pool has looked better than ever. They handle everything, from cleaning to balancing, and I haven’t had a single issue since.
