5 Signs Your Inground Pool Has a Leak

Your water level keeps dropping

If you are adding water more than once a week, something is wrong. Normal evaporation in Oklahoma during summer is about a quarter inch per day. Anything more than that is likely a leak.

Cracks in the pool deck or surrounding concrete

Oklahoma's clay soil shifts constantly. When underground pipes leak, the soil around them erodes and settles unevenly. This shows up as cracks in your deck.

Wet spots in the yard near the pool

If you see soggy areas, unusually green patches, or standing water near the pool that was not there before, water is escaping underground.

Your water bill is higher than normal

A small pool leak can waste thousands of gallons per month. If your water bill spiked and nothing else changed, check the pool first.
