Cape Coral Pool Leak Detection Service

It’s common to spot a bit of water loss when dealing with a swimming pool. Your swim space is at the mercy of the elements and that can take a toll on water levels but there is a big difference between a bit of evaporation and a water leak. If you suspect that your pool has sprung a leak don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle technician. A professional Cape Coral pool leak detection service will not only identify the cause of water loss but will pinpoint the problem area. 

Before you find a leak you have to establish whether or not you are dealing with a leak at all! At Puddle, experienced technicians make the pool leak detection process simple and efficient with state of the art tools and techniques. The longer that a water leak is allowed to persist, the worse it becomes so call Puddle at the first sign of trouble. 

How to Detect Pool Leaks 

If you notice that the water level in your pool is dropping, don’t panic! There are several key factors that impact water levels on a daily basis. If temperatures are high you can expect to see evaporation. Pool parties and a high volume of swimmers means losing water with every cannonball. On average you should expect to see 3-5 inches of water loss on a weekly basis. If you are noticing more than this or are having to refill your pool water on a daily basis, It is cause for concern. 

Still aren’t sure about your rate of water loss? No problem, try a bucket test! This test involves placing a bucket of water next to the pool. When exposed to the same conditions the rate of water loss should be the same. If, after a couple of days the rate of water loss in the pool is significantly more than in the bucket, you are dealing with a pool leak! Once you’ve determined that you are dealing with water loss, it is time to track down the source of the leak. 

Puddle Pool Services: Swimming Pool Leak Detection Made Easy 

When it comes to managing a pool or spa leak detection and repair isn’t exactly a walk in the park but our Puddle crews have it down to a science. Our technicians arrive on-scene with all of the necessary tools, skills and technique to not only locate the leak but isolate the problem area too. 

Dye Test: This type of testing involves turning off the pool pump and letting water go still. From here, colored dyes are strategically placed inside pool basins. Dyes weigh more than water so they are attracted to the vacuum created by a leak. Our techs follow the trail right to the source of the problem. 

Pressure Test: In the case of a plumbing leak pressure testing is the best way to pinpoint leaks inside water systems. This involves applying a steady stream of air flow to return lines. If this air comes into contact with a leak or opening it will create bubbles that can be seen inside lines. Underground leaks and saturated soil will make gurgling sounds that can be tracked down.
