Who We Are
We're a referral service and information site focused on one problem: pools that lose water. We publish clear information on leak signs, testing and costs, and we run a phone line that connects callers with independent local pool leak specialists. We don't do any pool work ourselves.
Most people searching for help with a leaking pool want two things: to understand what's going on, and to talk to someone who can fix it. This site tries to do both. Our pages explain the problem in plain words. The phone number connects you to a specialist who can actually test your pool.
If you're just starting, our main guide on how to find a pool leak specialist is the best place to begin. If you only know the water level keeps dropping, the pool losing water check covers the bucket test, and the services page matches symptoms to the right test.
What We Do and Don't Do
We publish guides and route phone calls. We don't inspect, test or repair pools, we don't set providers' prices, and we don't guarantee their work. Any agreement about price, timing, warranty or licensing is between you and the provider you choose to hire.
| We do | We don't |
|---|---|
| Publish leak guides and cost ranges | Inspect, test or repair pools |
| Connect your call to an independent specialist | Set the specialist's prices |
| Explain how to check a contractor | License or vouch for providers |
| Cite our sources | Guarantee any provider's work |
How a Call to Our Number Works
You call the number on this site, describe what your pool is doing, and your call is connected to an independent pool leak specialist who serves your area. The call is free. The specialist may pay us a fee for the referral. You don't pay us anything; any price is set by the provider.
- Call the number on any page.
- Share your town or ZIP and what you've noticed.
- Talk to a local independent specialist.
- Ask about price, timing and license before booking.
- Decide whether to book. There's no obligation.
How We Write and Check This Site
We write for pool owners, not contractors, in plain language. Costs, local facts and rules come from named sources, and we say where a number came from. We don't publish reviews, ratings or claims about providers that we can't verify, and we update pages when sources change.
Sources we use include PoolPad's 2026 Sarasota price guide for typical cost ranges, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey for housing age, City of Sarasota building permit guidelines, Sarasota County licensing guidance, and the published pages of local water utilities. General advice, like how a bucket test works, reflects common industry practice.
Prices on this site are typical ranges, not quotes. Your actual price always comes from the provider after they've seen your pool.
How to Check a Provider Before Work Starts
Ask for the contractor's license number and verify it, ask what's included in the price, and get any repair quote in writing. In Florida, pool contractors hold state CPC or local RP licenses in commercial, residential or service classes. Service-class contractors repair and service existing pools but can't build new ones.
- Ask for the license number and verify it on the DBPR license lookup.
- Confirm insurance before work starts.
- Get the detection price and what's included.
- Get repair quotes in writing.
- Ask whether a permit is needed and who pulls it.
Referral disclosure
We earn money from referrals, so we want to be clear about it. Independent providers may pay us a fee when we connect a call to them. You don't pay us anything; any price is set by the provider. The fee doesn't change the information or price ranges we publish on this site.
Pool Leak Detection Sarasota is a free referral service, not a pool contractor. We don't inspect, test or repair pools. Calls are routed to independent, third-party pool leak specialists, who may pay us a fee for each referral. Any work, price, warranty or license is between you and the provider. We are not a contractor and hold no Florida contractor license. Before work starts, ask any provider for their Florida license number, check it at myfloridalicense.com, and confirm their insurance.
