Why Chilliwack Pools Need Leak Detection
Nothing can ruin the summer season faster than a leak in your swimming pool. Even a small leak is enough to shut down swim spaces in homes and commercial properties all across Chilliwack. Over time, a drip in a plumbing line can cause significant water damage behind the scenes but a swimming pool leak loses more water in a minute than a dripping pipe will in a whole day. If you are dealing with unexplained water loss call Puddle for your Chilliwack pool leak detection services at the first sign of trouble.
The longer that a leak is allowed to persist, the more damage that it will cause. Even after realizing that you are dealing with water loss, it is incredibly difficult to find a leak, especially if it is underground. If a plumbing leak is happening behind the scenes, it takes speciality equipment and technical training to track the issue down — luckily, our team of highly trained experts have both at the ready!
Swimming Pool Leak Detection: What to Watch Out For & How to Get Results
Swimming pools are complicated structures with many moving parts, all of which can leak! Some leaks stem from structural damage, pool liners can experience tears or plumbing can begin to leak. If you notice that plumbing, heating and daily running costs are on the rise, it is another sign that you may be losing water.
In addition to your water bill going up, leaks will lead to expensive damage and even a loss of revenue in a commercial space. Instead of struggling to refill and balance water, call Puddle for insight into how to track down those dangerous leaks. If leaks go untreated they put increased costs and cause unnecessary wear and tear to internal water systems and surrounding areas. When water levels drop, pool pumps struggle to keep up with the change, requiring more energy and effort on these mechanisms. A shift in weight will put undue pressure on areas and cause warping and breakage.
In the past, pool owners have relied on the bucket test to determine if they are losing water. The goal of this is to measure water loss and determine whether or not it is basic evaporation or something more serious. If done properly, this can help to identify water loss but it can’t locate the leak.
Pressure testing is used to identify leaks in plumbing while a dye test will point out structural cracks. Prolonged application of air streams will move through plumbing lines, showcasing water bubbles where there are leaks. In the case of an underground leak, saturated soil or escaping air will create gurgling sounds. Dye is heavier than water so in the event of a leak, it will be sucked into the vacuum that a leak creates. It is then possible to follow the dye and track down the issue.

Chilliwack Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fill or top up my pool during water restrictions in Chilliwack?
Chilliwack runs its own four stage Water Conservation Plan, triggered by aquifer levels. It does not follow Metro Vancouver's stages. Filling pools, spas and ponds is unrestricted in Stage 2, while Stages 3 and 4 prohibit all filling or topping up of pools, spas or garden ponds with treated drinking water. Restrictions apply from May 1 to October 15, so check the City's posted stage before a fill or top up.
Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Chilliwack?
No. Under Chilliwack's Storm Sewer System Connection and Regulation Bylaw No. 2231, pool water must not go to storm drains or waterways; the City names salt, chlorine, bromine and algaecides as the reason. You may drain onto your own lawn if the water stays on the property until it evaporates or soaks in. You may also pump it into plumbing connected to the City sanitary sewer but never into a private septic system. Confirm with the City before draining.
How hot do Chilliwack summers get for pool owners?
Environment Canada normals for Chilliwack show a July mean daily maximum of about 25.0°C, with occasional stretches above 30°C and a record high of 43.7°C on June 28, 2021. Hot, sunny spells raise chlorine demand and evaporation, so regular chemistry checks and cleaning help keep water balanced. If the water level drops faster than expected, a service visit can test for leaks.
Is leak detection invasive? Will you need to dig up my yard?
Detection itself is non invasive. Pressure and dye testing are done from the pool and the equipment, without digging. Excavation only comes into the conversation if a leak is confirmed in an underground line, and then the testing tells us where to open up rather than searching blindly.
What happens if you find a leak?
We show you where it is and explain the repair options. Many leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights or small cracks can be repaired directly. Larger structural or underground plumbing repairs are quoted separately so you can decide with the full picture.
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!
