By Aimee Schwartz


It would be near impossible to avoid water leaks, they happen all the time. The problem is that they are most often not detected until much later, when significant damage may have taken place. Because the leaks are not usually obvious, it is important to pay close attention to your pool in order to identify them early enough. The following are signs that it is time to call a pool leak detection service San Diego consultant.

Unless you live in a residential area that is prone to experiencing heavy, often rains, the outside of your pool should not be soggy at all. This is one of the primary causes for alarm. Chances are you have a water drip that is constantly pumping water to your backyard. Not only is soggy soil unpleasantly looking, but it is also a breeding ground for bacteria.

Another common sign of a water problem is a stale smell coming from the walls of your pond. In this case, it might be quite difficult to trace the origins of the smell. This musty smell does not only make it hard to breathe, but it can also heavily affect your health because of all the bacteria. In this case, you should make sure to ask for the help of an expert.

The sharp rise in your water bills at the end of the month is usually a sign that you have a leak. If your bill increases from say, 60 dollars to 200 dollars or more, then it is clear that something is not right, particularly with your water lines or pipes. Granted, drips could be a bit expensive to fix, however ignoring them is more expensive in the long run and it shows in your water bill.
