How Leak Detection Works in Carlisle
Having a backyard swim space can help to make the most out of the summer months but a leak can bring your summer fun to an abrupt halt. Having to refill water levels is inconvenient but more than that, leaks can cause serious damage to both pools and surrounding areas. Professional Carlisle pool leak detection services identify leaks, locate them and isolate problem areas for efficient and thorough repair services.
If you suspect that you are dealing with a leak, there are a few key indicators that you can point to, namely dropping water levels, high water bills and in some cases, puddles forming in surrounding areas. If your swimming pool is showing signs of water leaks don’t hesitate to call a Puddle Pro for the best in Canadian leak detection.
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
Swimming pool leaks are incredibly complicated to deal with because there are plenty of areas that are prone to leaking. Leaks can occur in structures themselves, inside internal water systems and even around pool equipment. It takes tons of technical training to be able to identify where a leak is coming from and that is why it is better to consult an expert.
When left alone, a leak might start small but will grow over time. Above ground pools will result in surface flooding and drowned lawns while inground pools will create underground leaks. In either case an influx of pool water will cause soil to shift, putting weight onto unintended areas that can lead to breakage. A leaking water system will not only cause an increase in water bills but will put wear and tear on components that will lead to premature repairs and the need for costly replacements.
If you think you might be dealing with a leak but aren’t quite sure, you can always try out the bucket test. The bucket test involves taking a bucket of pool water and setting it out next to the poolside. In this scenario, both the bucket and the pool basin are exposed to the same conditions. After a couple of days, the water level in the pool is lower than the bucket, you are likely dealing with a leak in your pool.
Puddle Pool Leak Detection: How Our Experts Get Results
If you are experiencing water loss, call an expert to assess your swim space and track down the location of the leak but the first step is determining what type of leak you are dealing with. A large tear in a pool liner or cracked concrete might be easy to spot but leaks are often not that obvious. More often than not, a vinyl liner can be repaired with a simple patch if it is caught in time and the longer you wait, the more difficult repairing leaks becomes, so call a Puddle technician today.
A pressure test can be used to track down plumbing leaks while a dye test is the preferred option for structural leaks. Pressure testing uses a consistent stream of airflow to create air bubbles or produces gurgling sounds coming from water-logged soil. These noises can be followed using speciality listening equipment. A dye test involves switching off pool pumps and using strategically placed dyes to find leaks.
Each member of the Puddle team is high trained and experienced in identifying and tracking down the cause of water loss around homes and commercial properties. When you want to pinpoint the location of the leak in your pool and tap into a large network of repair specialists, just call Puddle for peace of mind and efficient services.
Carlisle 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.
