How Leak Detection Works in Abbotsford
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.
Is Your Pool Leaking? Differentiating Evaporation from Water Loss
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.

Abbotsford Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I drain my pool in Abbotsford?
On lots with a sanitary sewer connection, Bylaw No. 375-97 and Sewer Regulations Bylaw 2664-2017 require backwash, overflow and drains to connect to the sanitary sewer, with all pool discharge pumped there at no more than 2 litres per second. Lots without sanitary sewer need a safe discharge system such as a rock pit at least 30 m from a septic field or watercourse. Confirm with the City before draining.
Do Abbotsford pools face both heat and freeze risk?
Yes. Environment and Climate Change Canada 1991 to 2020 normals for Abbotsford International Airport show a January mean daily minimum of about 0.6°C and about 56 cm of snow a year, yet the station record high is 42.9°C on June 28, 2021. Summer heat spikes raise chlorine demand and evaporation, while winter freezes make proper winterizing important.
Which Abbotsford neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Abbotsford, including Clearbrook, Abbotsford, Sumas, Sardis, Promontory and Chilliwack. The full list of areas is on our Abbotsford page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
Can a hot tub or spa leak be detected the same way?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs have plumbing, jets and fittings that can leak just like a pool. The same testing approach applies, adapted to the spa's equipment.
Amazing service every time. We have our in ground pool & hot tub cared for by Puddle Pools. A detailed report is provided with every service. They’ve also replaced our pool liner and other fixes along the way. Excellent team of experts.
I called Puddle Pools to replace my circulation pump after calling around for other quotes and was told by another company that it would take five days to get the part that I needed. I didn’t want my pool sitting idle, especially in summer heat without circulation, so Rav came on his day off to get it done. He was super professional and very friendly as well. Awesome service. I will definitely use them for my pool stuff going forward. Thanks 😊
I had a great experience with Puddle Pools for an above-ground pool liner replacement. The service was high-quality, affordable, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied with the final installation. Rav, the owner, was fantastic to work with. He is professional, reasonable, and clearly very knowledgeable about his craft. It’s hard to find reliable service like this, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for pool maintenance or repairs! Thanks again Rav!
