Have you ever wondered what happens when you ignore a pool leak? What if that small drip or crack in your pool leads to serious problems down the road? Whether it’s a minor leak or a major one, delaying repairs can be costly.
At LeakXperts, we specialize in pool leak detection and use advanced technology to identify issues before they become bigger, more expensive problems. The longer you wait, the more water and money you risk wasting.
John noticed his pool’s water level was dropping faster than usual but assumed it was just due to evaporation. When he finally called LeakXperts, we found a leak in the plumbing that was wasting hundreds of gallons of water each week. Had he addressed it sooner, he could have saved both water and repair costs. Our quick action got his pool back to working efficiently and leak-free.
Prevent Wasting Water and Money
Fixing a pool leak right away is the best way to stop wasting water. When your pool leaks, the water level drops, and you’re left constantly refilling it. This increases your water bill and can lead to even bigger problems if not addressed.
“Leaks not only waste water, but they also significantly increase your utility bills. The sooner you fix them, the less water you waste, and the more money you save in the long run,” says John Thompson, a pool repair specialist.
Mary noticed her pool’s water level was always low, but she just kept adding more water. After calling us, we found a small leak in the plumbing, wasting gallons of water daily. By fixing the leak sooner, she could have saved both water and money.

Avoid Structural Damage to Your Pool
Even a small leak can cause significant damage to your pool’s structure. Leaking water can shift the ground around your pool, crack tiles, and weaken surrounding areas. The longer the leak goes unchecked, the more damage it can do.
A homeowner found cracks in his pool’s tiles but thought it was just normal wear and tear. When LeakXperts inspected his pool, we found that the cracks were caused by a hidden leak. The water had shifted the ground and weakened the pool’s structure. Early repairs could’ve saved him from costly damage.
Prevent Damage to Your Landscape and Property
Ignoring a pool leak doesn’t just affect the pool—it can also damage your backyard and landscaping. Leaking water can cause erosion, mold growth, and harm to your plants and lawn.
What Can Happen?
- Water can destabilize the pool structure.
- Plants die, and lawns become damaged.
- Leaking water can spread and require expensive repairs.
Sue had a small leak near her pool’s skimmer. Over time, the leaking water eroded the soil and cracked her patio.
Protect Your Pool Equipment
A pool leak puts extra strain on your equipment. Pumps, filters, and heaters work harder to maintain the right water levels, which can lead to breakdowns and costly repairs.
- Overworked Pumps: This increases energy costs.
- Clogged Filters: Debris can affect water quality and damage filters.
- Heater Malfunctions: Low water levels can cause heaters to break down.
“Overworked pool equipment, like pumps and filters, consumes more energy and wears out faster. By fixing leaks immediately, you prevent equipment from being overtaxed and prolong its lifespan,” explains Mark Winters, a pool equipment technician.
Gary from Miami noticed his pump was running constantly, even though the pool was losing water. We discovered a small crack in the plumbing. Fixing the leak saved his pump from expensive damage.
Routine maintenance and fixing leaks promptly are key to keeping your pool in great shape for years. A well-maintained pool lasts longer and costs less to repair in the long run.
Protect Your Pool’s Efficiency
Leaks not only waste water but can also affect the efficiency of your pool. When your pool is constantly losing water, your equipment works harder, which can lead to higher energy bills and more frequent repairs.
Jessica had a pool that was losing water fast. She didn’t think much of it until her energy bills skyrocketed. After LeakXperts found and fixed a small crack in the plumbing, her pool ran more efficiently, and her energy costs dropped.
What to Do If You Suspect a Leak
If you notice any signs of a pool leak, whether it’s a sudden drop in water level, cracks in the pool’s surface, or excessive water loss, don’t wait. The sooner you address the problem, the less damage and cost you’ll incur. Here’s what you should do:
- Turn off your pool equipment to prevent further stress on the system.
- Check the water level and see if it continues to drop after topping it up. Mark topped off his pool’s water, but it continued to drop even after he refilled it twice, confirming a potential leak.
- Look for visible signs of damage around the pool and surrounding area.
- Immediately for a professional inspection and repair.
