Aquadoctor Leak Detection
Aquadoctor Leak Detection- Pool and Hot Tub Specialists
*Finding your leak is guaranteed, an expensive repair to solve it is not*
***when calling, please have your 24 hour water loss measurement or approximate water loss ready. the maximum expected evaporation loss is 1/4" in 24 hours if added heat/solar is not a factor. Pools will lose more water when running the pump or using certain water features such as sheer descents, waterfalls or water bowls***
**Please have your pool clean/clear/visible for us to inspect your pool**

**Please have pool clean/clear/visible for us to dive your pool**
If the pool is cloudy or dirty, it makes dye testing very difficult and is also a health concern. If you are unsure if the water is clean/clear enough, please send a picture ahead of time to confirm. We cannot dive and dye test a green pool.

Aquadoctor has all the latest and best leak detection tools and technology such as XLT listening device, hydrophone, endoscopic cameras, and more. In order to provide the best quality analysis, your Aquadoctor tech (currently, lead tech DOUG- 10 years leak detection experience, former pool construction manager, highly educated and experienced in pool construction and leaks) will be taking on ALL new jobs- we will update if this changes) will dive the pool and document any and all previous repairs, structural issues, epoxy patches, skimmer/light niche replacements, and all issue to be aware of for future repair concerns and expenditure. Even simple pool repairs often run in the thousands so if you're buying a home with a pool, it's the smartest investment you can make arming you with the knowledge to negotiate with the seller and being prepared for any future pool repair related expenditures. We use the same testing process for inspections that we use for pool leaks with the main difference being we will confirm all equipment is operational and provide a more detailed report for inspections than a standard leak detection report.
Pool lights can cause leak issues from a number of areas. Aquadoctor Leak Detection has some unique approaches to our light niche repair recommendations. Every job where we have access to the light conduit, we seal around the cord preventatively. We do not use the plexiglass dome some other companies use to test lights- they are unreliable and the design is flawed from our experience and perspective. The half dome will show a leak in a light that is not leaking whatsoever because the seal is able to move against the wall, creating a pressure differential (even from 1/16") which can cause the dye to be sucked into the outlet. So we not longer use the dome light tester and believe the only way to test a light is to jump in and look everywhere.
Performing a dye test on a skimmer, checking for cracks in the tile grout and evidence of previous repair. SKIMMERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE CHLORINE TABLETS IN THE BASKET- THIS CAN CAUSE ISSUE WITH THE PVC GLUE AND PLUMBING CONNECTIONS LONG TERM. This means more work for leak detection companies but please be advised this is not a best practice.
Mission: Helping to Save Water by resolving Pool Leak issues and saving our customers money in repair expenses.
Do you have a pool leak or water loss issue or do you need a thorough pool inspection before buying or selling a home? You've come to the right place- OUR POOL LEAK DETECTION SERVICE IS GUARANTEED. 60% of our customers do not need to spend additional money after the leak detection for repairs. We provide an honest and thorough leak detection service you can trust. When needed, we do have excellent local contractors/specialists to recommend for any type of upgrade/renovation for your pool, deck or cage. Having a leak detection and inspection performed BEFORE any type of major renovation, replaster, new deck, or changing of the interior structure of the pool, it is highly recommended for several reasons, most notably saving money and having the end product look the best.
WE MAKE $0 BY REFERRING LARGE REPAIRS. This keeps our evaluation and testing honest. We do not benefit from you spending thousands to replace skimmers or light niches if those are required to fully fix the leak. We have a great method of repairing pool light niches specifically that doesn't involve cutting them out and replacing. This is a repair that is very prevalent in SWFL and not the best solution or recommendation from our perspective (in most cases, sometimes this is the only way to fix a broken plastic light niche).We have a great way of resolving issues specifically with light niches as we believe the market for this type of solution is very much in demand and where applicable, this is a much more affordable option than the typical $2,500 to replace a pool light niche. ​​
