And everyone keeps telling you it's the sun.

The number that settles it
Evaporation is real, and in a Florida summer it's easy to blame. But it's a predictable number. Once you're past it, water is leaving your pool through something, and that something doesn't get smaller on its own.
Free 20-second check
Drag the gauge to how far your water drops in a day. Mark the tile line in the morning, check it 24 hours later.
A quarter inch a day is what the Florida sun takes. You don't have a leak. Don't spend money on a detection call.
Math, so you can check it: inches × surface area × 0.623 gallons per square foot per inch. Nothing hidden.
Who shows up
Sean and Charles Murphy own Splash and do the work themselves. Sean is a Florida Certified Pool Contractor, born and raised in Venice. The person who answers your call is the person standing on your deck.
What a detection call actually is
At the skimmer, lights, fittings and any suspect cracks, with the plumbing lines isolated. Dye shows exactly where water is escaping.
Once dye shows a plumbing line is losing water, that specific line gets pressure tested with water and air to pinpoint the break.
For underground leaks, professional listening gear lets us hear it through the deck. We mark the dig spot within inches, instead of tearing up your whole patio.
Light niches, spa jets, pop-up heads, equipment pad. Every component gets checked, because pools rarely leak in just one place.
Flat fee, quoted before we start. Usually out within days, not weeks.
You don't get a maybe. You get shown the thing that was leaking.
That's a section of return line pulled out from under a deck. Before anything gets repaired, you see what we found, where it was, and why it failed.
“Very professional business! I was scheduled for my pool leak/repair right away! Sean did an amazing job repairing my skimmer.”
Samantha Quinn“Sean and Charles managed to fit us in their schedule in record time to make sure we were able to meet a tight deadline for a potential property purchase.”
Ashley Patricelli“Splash Pool Leak Detection just completed a skimmer replacement at our home in Lakewood Ranch. Sean, Charles, and Will were all over it and did an outstanding job.”
Ken Perdue“I've used Splash twice to replace my pool pump, and the second time to replace my salt system. Both times they were prompt, with quality work at a fair price.”
John ValentineStraight answers
Because the alternative is somebody guessing and opening your deck to check. Detection is what keeps the repair small. You get a flat fee quoted before we start, so the diagnosis isn't an open-ended bet.
The fee is flat and quoted before anyone touches your pool, so there's no meter running and no surprise invoice either way. And "no leak" is still an answer. You get the full inspection documented, every component checked, and a straight explanation of where your water is actually going.
No. Acoustic listening lets us hear the leak through the deck and mark the dig spot within inches. We open the smallest area that gets to the problem.
Usually within days, not weeks, across Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. If you're working against a closing date on a property, say so when you call and we'll tell you straight whether we can hit it.
Use the check further up this page, then run a bucket test to confirm. If you're under a quarter inch a day, you don't need us and we'll tell you so on the phone.
