No recent pool leaks have been reported in the area.
When a pool leaks, water can go into the ground surrounding the pool or into the drainage system if the pool is connected to one.
No, I have not used homemade pool leak dye to identify leaks in my pool.
Yes, one way to prevent a pool leak from causing damage to the surrounding area is to regularly inspect and maintain the pool's structure and equipment to identify and repair any leaks promptly. Additionally, installing a pool leak detection system can help detect leaks early on and prevent extensive damage.

When was the replaster job done? Were there leaks before the "first" plaster job? Were those leaks determined to be in the walls of the pool or in the plumbing? To answer your question - most likely - yes. Hmm, what do you mean by several? Ken
It depends on the kind of leak. Does the water drain while the pool lines are closed off? Does if leak faster or slower while the pool is running? Are the little bubbles blowing out of the return lines? All of these can indicate leaks of different types.
Bubbles in your pool can be caused by air getting trapped in the water circulation system, leaks in the pool liner or plumbing, or improper water chemistry.

To check a pool for leaks, you can perform a simple bucket test. Fill a bucket with water and place it on the pool steps. Mark the water level inside the bucket and on the pool. After 24 hours, compare the water levels. If the pool water level has dropped more than the bucket water level, it may indicate a leak. You can also inspect the pool for any visible cracks or tears in the lining.
Emptying a pool is a risky procedure, but must be done in the case of replastering or restoration. The weight of the water stabilizes the structure of the pool against the substrate (soil/gravel). Once you remove the water, you have nothing to stabilize the pool. This is particularly dangerous if the ground is wet, or is flooded by recent rains. In this case, the pool can "float" and cause cracking of the structure. It is likely that your pool shifted a little once the water was out. You need a professional to look over the structure and determine if there are other structural faults or worse--leaks.
