Pool leak detection in Orlando
Orlando has more leak detection companies than any other market we serve, so it helps to know what happens if a leak is not found. If your pool is clearly losing a lot of water and we do not find the leak on the first visit, we come back free of charge. That does not apply when the pool’s condition prevents testing, such as a dirty pool or a water level that is too low. If you are unsure whether your pool is ready, text a photo or video to our number. Leak Locators East Coast serves Orlando the same way we work everywhere: we locate the leak first, document it in writing, and open nothing until it is found.
Method
How the leak is located
The diagnosis relies on acoustic listening and line-by-line pressure testing. Pressure testing shows which lines hold pressure and which do not, and acoustic listening locates the leak along the line that fails. In a market this large, most companies have equipment. What matters is whether the visit ends with a located leak or only an estimate.
An Orlando visit is carried out in this order.
Detect
We confirm the pool is losing water and rule out evaporation. Then we isolate each plumbing line and pressure-test it; a line that will not hold pressure is the one with the problem.
Locate
Acoustic listening equipment narrows the leak down to one point along the line, and we mark the surface above it. Nothing is opened to find the leak.
Repair
The repair needs only a small opening at the marked point. If you schedule it with us, the same crew that found the leak makes the repair, and your written report covers what was tested, found and fixed.

Service area
Coverage
Orlando is in Orange County. Kissimmee, Winter Garden and Lake Nona are also confirmed service areas, and Lake Nona does not have its own page and is covered here. A travel fee may apply for locations 45 minutes or more from Melbourne, Florida. The amount varies by location, so please call for pricing.
Nearby areas and services
Do you serve Lake Nona and the rest of Orange County?
Yes. Lake Nona, Winter Garden and the surrounding Orange County communities are confirmed service areas, and we serve them as part of the Orlando area.
There are many leak detection companies here. What makes you different?
Ask what you receive at the end of the visit. We provide written findings on the invoice describing what was located and where, which is what the person doing the repair needs. A verbal “it is somewhere in the return line” does not give them that.
Could the leak be under the house rather than the pool?
Yes, that happens, and it requires a different test. Finding a failing water line beneath a slab is slab leak detection, which we also offer.
Do you have to break concrete to find it?
No. Locating the leak is non-invasive. Any concrete that must be opened is part of the repair, in the one place we marked.
