Leak Detection in Etobicoke, ON
There is a big difference between having a leaky faucet and a leak in your pool. The average swimming pool holds thousands of gallons of water at any given time so even a pinhole leak means serious water loss — and that water needs somewhere to go! Even a small leak can cause serious and expensive water damage, flooding, rot, mold and very high water bills. If you are noticing your water levels dropping, don’t hesitate to call Puddle for quick and efficient Etobicoke pool leak detection services.
Part of what makes leak detection in pools such a pain is that there are so many places that are prone to leaks! Plumbing, structures and even pool equipment are all susceptible to corrosion, physical damage, as well as wear and tear. It is one thing to diagnose a leak and another to find it within your water system. Instead of letting leaks persist or dealing with the damage that they cause, trust a Puddle Pro to track down the source of the leak, isolate the affected area and help to organize leak repair services.
Pool Leak Detection: From Diagnosis to Repair
Part of what makes dealing with swimming pool leaks so difficult is figuring out if you are dealing with a leak in the first place. At the height of summer your pool water is prone to evaporation. This is also prime time for swimmers to make the most out of your swim space. With every person that steps in and out of your pool, you are losing water. It is common to notice water loss the day after you host a pool party or over the course of a hot week but if you are noticing more than 3-5 inches of water loss per week, it is time to call in an expert.
Once you have diagnosed the cause of your water loss, it is time to track down the location of the leak but this is easier said than done! Swimming pools are susceptible to leaks in many areas so finding out exactly what type of leak you are dealing with is key to treating the issue. There isn’t much point in replacing a pool liner only to find out that you have a plumbing leak. Luckily, Puddle technicians are able to test multiple areas, ensuring that there are no water leaks left behind.
Pressure Testing: A pressure test involves applying a steady stream of pressurized air to plumbing and return lines. This will not only flush the lines but if there is a leak somewhere inside, it will start to show signs. When air meets a leak it will cause air bubbles to form, or if water is saturated from an underground leak it will start to make gurgling nosies. Even if you can’t hear them on your own, specialized listening equipment can be used to track and treat leaks.
Dye Testing: In the event that you are dealing with a crack in concrete or tear in a vinyl liner, a dye test can help to identify problem areas. This process involves using coloured dyes, strategically placed into still pool water. When correctly placed, heavy dyes are drawn to leaks. Coloured dyes can be tracked visually where assessments are formed about whether you are dealing with a torn liner or cracked foundation.

Etobicoke Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
How cold and stormy is the weather for pools in Etobicoke?
Environment Canada 1991 to 2020 normals for nearby Toronto Pearson show a January mean daily minimum of -8.9 C and about 26 thunderstorm days a year. Freezing winters call for a proper closing and line blow out, and summer storms wash debris into the water and upset chemistry.
Can I drain my pool into the storm sewer in Etobicoke?
Under Toronto's Sewers By-law, chlorine pool water may go to the storm sewer only after dechlorination to 0.01 mg/L or less and never on a rainy day. Salt water pools may not drain to the storm sewer at all and must use the sanitary connection, soak into your own property or be hauled away. Confirm with the City before draining.
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.
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.
