Frequently Asked Questions
Pool Leak FAQs
How much water loss is normal for a pool in Knoxville?
Depending on the humidity, wind, and temperatures, Knoxville pools typically lose about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of water per day to evaporation during the peak summer heat. Anything more than a half-inch per day warrants a bucket test.
Can an underground pool leak cause structural damage?
Yes. Leaking water continuously washes out the compacted soil supporting the pool shell and concrete deck. Over time, this loss of support can lead to cracking in the pool shell or sunken, collapsed concrete decking.
Do I have to drain my pool to fix a leak?
Rarely. Professional divers and specialized epoxy resins allow us to patch many structural, skimmer, and main drain leaks completely underwater. For underground plumbing leaks, only the affected deck section is accessed.
