Naples Pool Builders provides professional leak detection in Naples, FL for residential and commercial properties across Collier and south Lee counties. An automatic fill line is why most leaks in this market get found in October rather than April. The pool never drops, the level always looks right, and the only evidence is a water bill nobody is reading while the house is empty.
The first thing to establish is whether there is a leak at all. Evaporation is real and seasonal, and a quarter inch a day in a hot dry spring with a feature running is normal. An inch a day is not. A bucket test on the step, run over forty-eight hours with the fill valve closed and the feature off, separates the two before anybody opens deck.
Then we locate it. Pressure-testing each line individually says whether it is plumbing or structure. Dye testing at the light niche, skimmer throats, return fittings and the main drain finds shell-side losses. Listening equipment narrows a pressurized line down to a small area. The order matters, because each step rules out a category instead of guessing at the expensive one first.
What money buys here is precision. A located leak means opening two square feet of deck and repairing a fitting. An unlocated leak means trenching, re-routing plumbing, and replacing coping and pavers that were perfectly fine. We do not recommend re-plumbing a pool because a leak has not been found. We recommend spending the time to find it.
For owners who leave for the summer, the practical setup is a shut-off on the fill line, a meter reading noted before departure, and a service company instructed to compare it monthly. It costs nothing and turns a six-month leak into a two-week one, which is usually the difference between a fitting repair and a deck rebuild.
Structural losses behave differently from plumbing ones. A shell crack often shows as staining or a damp patch on the deck rather than as a dropping water level, and it needs the finish opened, the crack routed and staple-tied, and the area patched before resurfacing. We would rather find that during a remodel than three months after a new finish goes on.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — quartz-aggregate plaster, polished pebble interior finishes, glass mosaic waterline tile, shell stone and travertine coping, chip-out and bond coat preparation, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Naples and nearby communities including Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Golden Gate.

Materials, equipment and how we do leak detection
The difference between leak detection that lasts and leak detection that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with quartz-aggregate plaster, polished pebble interior finishes, glass mosaic waterline tile, shell stone and travertine coping, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Naples job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Collier and south Lee counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
