If you own a pool in North Carolina, you know how much of a joy—and a responsibility—it can be. Between summer barbecues, family swims, and long weekends in the sun, your pool gets a lot of use. But behind the scenes, even a small leak can lead to big problems—higher water bills, chemical imbalance, structural damage, and even soil erosion around your pool. That’s why leak detection isn’t just a maintenance item—it’s essential protection for your investment.

Signs Your Pool Might Be Leaking

Not every drop of water loss is cause for concern—some is natural due to evaporation, especially in the heat and humidity of a North Carolina summer. But there are a few telltale signs that may indicate your pool is leaking:

• A noticeable drop in water level (more than 1/4 inch per day)
• Air bubbles in your return lines
• Soggy or eroded spots around the pool
• Frequent need to add water or adjust chemicals
• Unexplained spikes in your water bill

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to investigate before a small problem becomes a costly repair.

Why Leak Detection Matters in North Carolina

North Carolina's climate and terrain present unique challenges for pool owners. From coastal humidity in Wilmington to shifting soils in the Piedmont and mountain regions—and especially in growing cities like Charlotte, where dense development and varying terrain can complicate drainage—pools here face everything from expansion and contraction in freeze/thaw cycles to high groundwater tables that can impact pool foundations.

Detecting a leak early can prevent:

• Damage to your pool’s shell or liner
• Equipment failure from overworking your pump or filter
• Long-term structural issues to decking, patios, or landscaping
