Understanding Swimming Pool Leak in West Palm Beach

In South Florida, swimming pools are nearly as common as air conditioners. But when pool equipment fails, lines crack, or shells deteriorate, the resulting water damage can be extensive. A pool leak can release thousands of gallons of water, saturating surrounding soil, undermining foundations, flooding garages, and damaging pool decks and structures.

Pool leaks present unique restoration challenges. The water is chemically treated with chlorine and other chemicals that can damage plants, corrode materials, and create different drying requirements than freshwater damage. Pool equipment areas are particularly vulnerable—heaters, pumps, and filters involve multiple water connections that can fail.

Many South Florida homes have pools located near the main structure, meaning pool leaks can travel under pool decks and into the home's foundation, garage, or living areas. Underground pipe failures are especially problematic, as water saturates soil for extended periods before visible signs appear. Our team has extensive experience with pool-related water damage throughout the region.

Why Act Fast

Pool leaks involve significant water volume—a pool can lose hundreds of gallons per day through a major leak. This water saturates soil around your home's foundation, potentially causing erosion, settling, and structural issues. The chlorinated water can also damage plants and pool equipment. Early detection and repair prevents escalating damage and costly foundation problems.

Our Swimming Pool Leak Restoration Process

Our proven restoration process ensures thorough, professional results every time.

Step 1

Leak Detection

We work with pool professionals to identify the leak source—whether shell, plumbing, or equipment—before beginning water damage restoration.

Step 2

Damage Assessment

We assess all affected areas including structures, landscaping, and foundations. Moisture mapping identifies water travel paths.

Step 3

Water Mitigation

Standing water is removed from affected structures. Saturated soil may require drainage solutions to prevent ongoing damage.

Step 4

Structural Drying

Any affected structures—garages, pool houses, decks—are dried using appropriate equipment for each material type.

Step 5

Foundation Assessment

We evaluate any foundation impacts and coordinate with structural specialists if settling or erosion has occurred.

Step 6

Restoration

Damaged structures, decking, and landscaping are repaired or replaced. We coordinate with pool repair professionals for a complete solution.

Swimming Pool Leak FAQs for West Palm Beach

Perform the bucket test: place a bucket of pool water on a step and mark both water levels. After 24 hours, if the pool dropped more than the bucket, you likely have a leak. Also watch for constantly running auto-fill, wet spots in the yard, or dropping water levels.
Yes, significant pool leaks can saturate soil around foundations, causing erosion, settling, and structural problems. This is especially concerning in South Florida's sandy soil. Early leak detection prevents these serious issues.
Coverage varies by policy. Damage to surrounding structures from sudden failures may be covered, but the pool itself and gradual deterioration typically are not. Review your policy and document all damage for claims.
Pool leaks can lose 100-500+ gallons per day depending on severity. A quarter-inch drop per day equals about 200 gallons lost. This adds up quickly to thousands of gallons affecting surrounding areas.
Yes, pool water contains chlorine and other chemicals that can affect plants, corrode certain materials differently, and require specific cleaning approaches. Our team is experienced with the unique aspects of pool water damage.
No, don't drain the pool without professional guidance. An empty pool can actually cause more structural damage—the shell can crack or even 'pop' out of the ground from groundwater pressure. Have leaks properly diagnosed and repaired.
