Hi all,

It seems like I have a possible leak in my pool plumbing. There's an area that stays damp by the pool and spa returns area whereas other areas stay completely dry.

I turned on my sprinklers zones that could splash water on it but no water makes it there. Also with the 96 degree temps it would've dried up by 4pm CST as my sprinklers would've turned on at 6am.

See the pictures attached.

Any suggestions on how I can test for a leak without excavating all the gravel and weed barrier under it?

Thanks!

Anything could always be possible. Was the system blown out for the winter or did you keep it running ? Did you freeze for a time or did it stay in the 30s+? Maybe there is a hairline crack if you froze and the pipe was full.

I guess you can gently rake the gravel aside down to the landscape fabric and see if it's wetter or dryer.
