Dundas Leak Detection

All across Dundas, property owners are putting their swimming pools to good use all year long. For businesses, indoor pools are available at any time throughout the year while outdoor models see the most use in summer. No matter the type of pool you are dealing with or the type of property you are managing — leaks are a serious problem! Having a leak in your pool doesn’t just mean having to refill water levels over and over again, it means higher running costs and dealing with unnecessary damage. Having an expert perform your Dundas leak detection means identifying problem areas, tracking down water loss and isolating tricky areas.

Identifying a leak in your pool is tricky because there are plenty of places that are prone to leaks. Aged or faulty pool equipment is known to lose water, a tear in a vinyl liner allows water to leak out and structural cracks allow water to seep out into the surrounding areas. Whether you are dealing with an above ground pool or an inground model, leaks are a huge problem. Instead of waiting for damage to happen, call a Puddle Pro.

Leak Detection Services: What to Expect Than From the Experts

Identifying a leak is tricky on its own. Unlike a clogged or leaky faucet, the signs of a leak in a pool are often very subtle. When diagnosing a leak, it is important to take the elements and trends into consideration. If you notice that your water levels are lower following a pool party, that is common enough. High temperatures can also create increased evaporation in pools. Mistaking a leak for these symptoms can mean pool owners don’t seek out expert help as quickly as they should.

Leak detection specialists provide efficient identification of leaks as well as diagnosing what type of leak you are dealing with. There isn’t much point in digging into plumbing systems and return lines if you are ultimately dealing with a structural leak. Luckily, the technicians at Puddle Pools provide different testing options to identify your problem areas. By narrowing down the location of the leak and isolating that area, pool owners are able to set the stage for efficient repairs.

Pressure Test: The pressure testing process involves applying a consistent stream of air flow to plumbing lines. If this air stream comes in contact with an opening or leak, it will create air bubbles that can be tracked. In the event that you are dealing with an underground leak, saturated soil will begin to gurgle. Whether these sounds are loud or quiet, our team of Puddle Pros have the right experience and specialized listening tools to track down leaks.

Dye Test: For assessing structural leaks and tears in a vinyl liner, a dye test is the preferred testing method. This type of test involves turning off the pool pump and applying dye to pool water. Because dye weighs more than pool water does, it will be attracted to the area of a leak. This makes it possible to follow the colours to the source of your water loss.

Repairing leaks all starts with a thorough assessment and that means expert pool leak detection. Whether you are dealing with a small tear in a pool liner at home or a corroded pipe in a commercial space, there is no leak too small for our Puddle technicians. Your swimming pool is left up to the elements all year long, so there are plenty of threats present at any given moment.

If you have a ton of plant life near your pool, roots might be your main issue while older salt water pools are more at risk of corrosion.
