Leak Detection in Burnaby, BC
If you are looking for fun in the sun this summer, a pool leak is public enemy #1. Even a pinhole leak can lead to serious water loss over time but before you grab that garden hose and refill your pool, call a Puddle technician instead. If a leak is caught early on, it can likely be fixed with a quick and simple repair. Don’t learn to live with water loss and damage when you can call Puddle for thorough and reliable Burnaby pool leak detection instead.
When exposed to high heats, water evaporates and your pool is no different. Combine this with swimmers cannonballing into pools and splashing around and it is a recipe for water loss. So, how do you tell if you are losing water naturally or through a leak? Instead of wasting time on trial and error, call a local Puddle Pro to identify your pool leak, isolate the problem area and organize repairs with reliable experts in Burnaby BC.
Leak Detection in Pools: How It Works
There are two main types of swimming pool leaks: structural leaks and plumbing leaks. Either of these will allow water to seep out of pools and into vulnerable areas. This can mean underground leaks that will drown lawns and even floor basements. Some other signs that you might be dealing with a leak in your pool or hot tub can include: higher utility or water bills, an inability to balance chemical levels and, in severe cases, pooling water in surrounding areas.
It is one thing to diagnose that you are dealing with water loss, it is another to locate the leak. Luckily, our team of highly trained Puddle technicians have all of the tools and technical know-how to track and treat problem areas.
Pressure Testing: Tracks down leaks in pool plumbing systems by using applying steady streams of air to water and return lines. If there is a break present in the line it will create air bubbles that can be followed visually.
Dye Tests: When dealing with structural leaks or tears in a pool liner, dye tests are a great tool. This involves cutting power to the pool pump and waiting for the water to settle. Once still, coloured dyes can be applied strategically inside pool water. Dyes are heavier than water alone so they will be sucked up into any available opening. From here, all you have to do is follow the colour trail right to the source of your problem.
Puddle Pool Leak Detection Services: What to Expect
If you notice that your water level is dropping without explanation, don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle Pro. Our team of highly trained and experienced technicians bring specialized leak detection equipment right to your front door, so you don’t have to invest in more tools just to track down pool leaks. Every member of the team is local to Burnaby and the surrounding areas, so we understand what to watch out for and the most common causes of leaks in both above ground and inground pools.
Burnaby Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where must pool drain and backwash lines go in Burnaby?
The City's Swimming Pools building information guide requires all pool drain and backwash lines to discharge to a 600 mm sump connected to a combined or sanitary sewer or to a 75 mm vented trap and standpipe connected to the plumbing system. An approved backflow preventer is also required on the potable supply. Confirm with the City before draining or changing plumbing.
Can I fill my pool during water restrictions in Burnaby?
Metro Vancouver's Drinking Water Conservation Plan applies region wide, with Stage 1 running automatically from May 1 to October 15. Stages 1 and 2 have no impact on residential pools and hot tubs, while Stage 3 prohibits filling or topping them up; non residential pools are exempt only with a health authority operating permit. The stage rules apply to properties on Metro Vancouver water, so confirm with the District which rules cover your supply before a fill.
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.
Great service! We had Matt come over to drain and refill the hot tub. He also washed the whole tub and balanced the chemicals. Definitely would recommend!
These ladies are amazing! Identified the problem, ordered the new part and quickly got out to do the repair. Both Staci and Lola were professional and personable…a rare combination these days. I highly recommend this company
We rented our house and needed a hot tub cleaning service asap. I called PPS and they responded to the urgency of our situation right away. Throughout the rental period PPS was extremely flexible and offered after hours contact through text. Their service is very professional and met the needs of an extreme picky house guest. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing a hot tub cleaning service.
We did call Puddle's for a inspection and the guy Yuvi told us exactly what needs to be done no left or right just direct things that needed to solved and we liked them and overall Management ia soo good. Pricing wise super fair even though it's Vancouver lol!
I don't know much about but a guy name Yuvi youngman seems so professional and he's the one we been looking for he's the best and yeah he's a part of Puddle's so i will recommend this company highly. Thanks again to the Management Miss Tina and Yuvi.
Puddle Pools might be the only company in the Vancouver area that services inflatable spas. I contacted five other companies, and they were the only ones willing to help. On top of that, they were professional, prompt, and reasonably priced, especially compared to how much others charge for leak detection in pools and hot tubs. I’d definitely use their services again.

Our family just can't say enough good things about Puddle Pool Services. We had a terrible provider before - completely unresponsive, often a no show, chaotic invoicing, and no reporting. What a difference with Puddle Pools! As soon as our account was set up we were on a weekly schedule and it was like clockwork! The technicians are completely reliable, thorough, and send a report after each visit with check marks for what was done for servicing, short notes, and pictures. Talk about over the top service. This past week we had a pipe joint fail in the poolhouse and we were away. Our caretaker noticed it right away and Puddle Pools had someone out the next day to check and find out what they needed to bring the next day for repairs. They turned off the pump to protect it while the caretaker refilled the pool and then came back the next day to turn it on. What could have been an expensive disaster was all taken care of. The stress relief this provided was huge! We love, love, love Puddle Pools. Thank you, Travis!
Kat from Puddle Pool Services is great. She’s punctual, thorough and always does a great job. My pool and spa have never looked better!
