Abbotsford Pool Leak Detection

When indoors, a leaky sink might not feel like the end of the world — after all, it’s just a bit of water! A few drops here and there don’t feel like a big deal but when dealing with swimming pools, even a pinhole leak means losing litres and litres of water on a weekly basis. Many pool owners notice water loss and just reach for a garden hose to refill their swim spaces but this is a mistake! Having an expert perform your Abbotsford pool leak detection services reduces water loss, pinpoints problem areas for repair and provides peace of mind.

Leak Detection in Pools: How to Track Down Problem Areas

Swimming pool leaks are not just inconvenient. Any pool owner knows that a bit of water loss is normal over the course of a week. If you fill your pool on a Sunday and by Saturday the water level is three inches lower, this is likely just caused by evaporation, splashing and bodies getting in and out of the pool. Water leaks, on the other hand will likely have your water level dropping by that much on a daily basis. If this is the case, you can’t just keep refilling pools and hoping that the problem will stop,

One of the major obstacles in pool leak detection is finding out where you are losing water. It is important to locate the leak quickly in order to prevent it from becoming worse or causing damage but this is easier said than done. In addition to the pool shell or basin itself, it is important to consider the possibility that there are leaks inside plumbing lines and even underground. Many of these areas are not readily visible, so it is important to have the right tools and techniques to track your leaks down!

When you call Puddle for your swimming pool leak detection, our technicians arrive on-scene with top industry tools designed to isolate impacted areas. In order to provide the most effective services possible, Puddle crews arrive with options for pressure testing, dye tests and more. There is no such thing as a pool leak detector that can magically track and repair problem areas, but our team of experts come close.

Pressure testing informs Puddle technicians if you are dealing with a plumbing leak. In the case of underground leaks, air will move water, creating a gurgling sound wherever it can escape. This same effect will apply to drowned lawns and saturated soil. A dye test is most effective for tracking down leaks in structures or the pool liner. Dyes weigh more than pool water, so when strategically placed, they will be sucked up into cracks and leaking areas. Even with the tools on-hand, having technical knowledge is key to efficient results. For example, turning off the pool pump to ensure that dye are not being pushed around.
