Leak Detection in Aldergrove, BC
Swimming pools are built to be enjoyed. This means durable materials that are made to withstand the elements — but they aren’t invincible! Even if structures seem to be in good shape and water is clear and treated, there is always one major threat facing swimming pools: leaks! If you are noticing significant water loss, there is a good chance that your pool is leaking. Professional Aldergrove pool leak detection is able to isolate leaks in plumbing lines or structures, pinpointing problem areas to be repaired.
Over the course of a week, a little water loss is normal. High temperatures will increase evaporation rates and something as simple as a pool party will have water splashing out of basins and being carried out on bodies. With all of this in mind, losing a few inches of pool water is normal but any more than a few inches per week is a problem. When you suspect you are dealing with a leak, don’t hesitate to call a Puddle Pro for quick action and excellent results.
Swimming Pool Leak Detection: Pointing Out Problem Areas
Part of what makes leak detection in pools such a complicated process, is that they are made up of many moving parts, both above ground and underneath it. It is easy to spot large amounts of physical damage but small cracks in the pool liner can go unnoticed, along with underground plumbing leaks. Leaking water will drive up utility bills and, if left untreated over long periods, will start to cause structural damage. It is easy to ignore a dripping tap in the kitchen but when dealing with thousands of litres of water all at once it is important to act quickly!
The most common signs that you are dealing with a leak are an increase in utility bills, unexpected drops in water level and pools forming in yards. When you need to find a leak, it is important to have the right tools to track it down. There are some simple tests that you can do at home but they are not an exact science. The bucket test, for example, is an amateur approach to monitoring evaporation but there is a lot that can happen to impact a bucket of water and skew the results. Instead of settling for subpar results that come with a DIY testing option, Puddle experts provide efficient detection, done with top tools and techniques.
Pressure testing is used to identify potential leaks inside plumbing lines. This process involves applying a constant flow of air to plumbing lines. In the case of an underground leak, saturated soils will start to make a gurgling sound which can be tracked using speciality listening equipment. Dye tests are performed when there are suspected leaks in pool structures. In order for these practices to be effective pool pumps are shut off and coloured dyes are applied strategically so that they will be sucked up by the source of the leak, demonstrating exactly where the water loss is coming from.
The Puddle Guarantee: Expert Leak Detection Through the Fraser Valley
More often than not, leaks are subtle and sneaky. In the case of an extreme weather event, a storm can damage pool decks and even cause tears to liners. These types of leaks are easy to spot but even pinhole leaks can lead to a high volume of water loss. Instead of letting leaks slide and having to deal with a worst-case scenario, call an expert for timely service and the best possible results. In addition to tracking down your leaks, our team of Puddle technicians are able to help organize leak repair.
Aldergrove Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does a vinyl liner pool leak differently from a concrete pool?
The usual suspects differ. Vinyl liners tend to leak through tears, punctures or around fittings and faceplates, while concrete and plaster pools are more likely to leak through cracks or at tile lines, lights and returns. Dye testing works on both.
How do I know if my pool is leaking or just losing water to evaporation?
Some water loss is normal, especially in hot, dry or windy weather and after heavy use. A leak is more likely when the level keeps dropping faster than the weather explains, when it drops even with the pump off, when the ground near the pool or equipment stays wet or when you are adding water every few days. A simple bucket test (a bucket of pool water on a step, comparing the two levels after a day) helps separate the two, and a leak detection visit confirms it.
How do you find a pool leak?
We test the pool in stages rather than guessing. Pressure testing tells us whether the plumbing lines are holding, and dye testing shows where water is escaping at fittings, cracks, lights, skimmers and returns. Checking both the structure and the plumbing matters, because a pool can leak from more than one place.
Travis responded promptly to me, for servising my above ground pool. He and his team came on time, did a perfect job, sent detailed report above the condition of my pool and when he found holes in my liner, I asked him to fix it and he did right the next day. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis for your work ethics and excellence.

Bought this house with a pool that was green. After 3 days it looked new. Very impressed with the two technician girls that did the job. Really knowledgeable.
