Nothing is worse than owning a LEAKING POOL. Pool leaks are often hard to find and can cause a myriad of problems for your pool equipment and chemical balance if you live in the greater Baton Rouge Area.
The following are common signs that your customer’s pool may have a leak, and investigation may be in order:
- You notice standing water near the pool or equipment pad. Visual inspection of the equipment may turn up something simple like a faulty O-ring. If you notice soft, mushy spots or uneven grass around the pool area, an underground plumbing leak may well be the cause.
- The pool or spa is losing more than 1/4″ of water per day. The rate of evaporation varies from location to location, depending on the relative humidity, wind, air temperature, water temperature and other weather factors. But in warm summer months in certain climates, over 1/2″ per day could be lost to evaporation. If your customer has children playing in the pool, splash-out should also be considered. A simple bucket test can confirm leak suspicions.
- Abnormal water consumption. If your pool customers operate an automatic fill device, they should be cautioned to watch their water bills for high consumption. If they notice the fill device is constantly running, investigation for a leak should begin.
- Extraordinary algae growth or discoloration of the water. This indicates an imbalance in the water chemistry which can occur when new untreated water is added to the pool.
- Fluctuating chemical consumption. When water leaks out of a pool, it carries dissolved chemicals with it. These will need to be replaced constantly to make up for the loss.
- Loose or failing tiles, or cracking of the cement pool deck. Because the surrounding ground is becoming unsettled by the presence of excess water, a leak is certainly possible.
- The pool is settling into the ground. This is indicated by cracks or gaps in the bond beam.
- Mysterious gurgling sounds. When something sounds amiss, there’s usually a good reason to investigate the source.
- Water corrosion at pump or around pipes is a sure sign of a leak.
- Damaged tile or cracks are a sign of a leak and potential water loss
- Soggy soil around underground plumbing lines is another good sign of a leak.

Danny with Tropical Pools does a fantastic job with our pool. When it was on the verge of pea soup green, he had it back to a beautiful, inviting clear blue, within a day. His knowledge is golden and we are happy to have him as our pool keeper! I would highly recommend his services, if you would like to have your pool looking picture perfect.

Spoke with Danny today to troubleshoot my pool issues. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. His company serves the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas.
Give this company a call if you need help. Based on the honesty and integrity, I plan to make this my go-to company for pool issues and I encourage you to give them a try!! -
My pool got worse than swamp green over the winter. Danny and the gang worked non stop to get it bright and clean again. Also discovered a leak I did not know I had, and solved the chemical balancing problems I had been having for years (before I used Tropical). Went on to fix my broken pool light, my pumps, and anything else I need. They are truly a full service company, very responsive. The owner Danny will get back to your personally with any concern you have. And he makes sure the job is done right. I also get weekly pool care from them and I could not be happier. I feel that my pool is in very good, honest and reliable hands.
