Denver Pool Leak Detection

Whether it’s indoors or outside water loss in swimming pools is never a good sign! If you start to notice that pool water levels are dropping, don’t hesitate to call your local Puddle crew. The average swimming pool holds thousands of gallons of water at any given time. This means even a pinhole leak can result in serious water damage before you know it. Local Puddle technicians offer thorough and reliable pool leak detection that identifies what type of leak you are dealing with and isolates problem areas for repair. 

It can be tough to detect leaks in pools. One of the main reason for this is that high heats can cause evaporation and a high rate of swimmers means water is being splashed out. At the height of summer pool owners can expect anywhere from 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week. If you are noticing a higher rate of water loss, increased water bills or see puddles forming around the pool area, you might be dealing with a hidden leak! 

Swimming Pool Leak Detection Services: What to Expect From the Experts 

Identifying water loss is a part of pool maintenance but it’s easier said than done. The majority of structures and plumbing lines for inground pools run underground. This means you won’t have much luck trying to spot an underground leak as lines aren’t visible. It’s not enough to just say that there is water leaking somewhere in a pool system, it needs to be identified. 

If you’re having a hard time identifying the rate of water loss in your pool, you can always try a bucket test. This particular test involves filling a bucket with water, setting it outside next to the pool and marking the water level in each. When exposed to the elements in the same way water levels should drop at the same rate. If after a couple of days the level in your pool has dropped more than in the bucket you’re likely dealing with a water leak. 

Once you’re sure that there is a water leak hiding out behind the scenes, it’s time to call Puddle for expert leak detection services in Denver. Our team of highly trained and experienced technicians use state of the art equipment to test for water leaks in pool structures and pool plumbing. 

Dye Tests: Structural leaks in swimming pools are often caused by physical damage. It’s easy to spot obvious issues like broken or missing tiles but some problems can be more subtle. A small tear in a pool liner will get worse over time ending in serious water loss. The first step to detecting structural leaks is to turn off the pool pump. Once water is still technicians use strategic application of colored dyes to track down problem areas. Dyes are heavier than pool water and will quickly be sucked into the vacuum created by a leak. From there, technicians track the color to the cause of the leak. 

Pressure Tests: Pool plumbing is complicated and prone to water leaks. Because the majority of plumbing in an inground pool is underground it can be tough to determine whether you’re dealing with corrosion, loose fixtures, root damage or other unexpected damage. A pressure test checks plumbing lines for signs of a leak using a steady stream of airflow. Air streams are applied to lines and in the case of a leak, will create bubbles that are visible in return lines. In the case of underground leaks saturated soil will make gurgling sounds that can be followed to the source of the problem.
