Fort Bend County Pool Leak Detection

Nothing can wreck your summer season like a leak in your swimming pool! Water loss in your pool isn’t the same as having a leaky faucet or a toilet that won’t stop running. Pools hold thousands of litres of water at any given time so even a pinhole leak can result in dramatic water loss and damage to surrounding areas. As soon as you start to notice water loss in your swim space call a local Puddle technician for your Fort Bend County pool leak detection services. 

How to Identify Swimming Pool Leaks: A Quick Guide 

One of the hardest parts of swimming pool leak detection is figuring out if you are dealing with a leak at all. Whether you are an experienced pool owner or are new to the world of pool and hot tub maintenance, it can be tough to tell if you are dealing with natural water loss or a pool leak. 

When the weather gets hot swimming pools are likely being used frequently by more than one person at a time. This means pool water is being ejected with every splash, cannonball or individual that gets out of the water. This combined with high heats that cause evaporation can cause obvious drops in your water level. On average you should expect to see 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week. If you are seeing more than 5 inches of water loss or are having to refill pools on a daily basis, you are likely dealing with a leak. 

In addition to an obvious drop in water levels pool leaks will also drive up utility bills, make it difficult to balance water chemicals and may leave behind puddles and pooling water in surrounding areas. If you suspect that your pool is losing water don’t hesitate to call a local Puddle Pro. In addition to determining whether or not you are dealing with a leak, experts will then track down the source of the leak. 

Leak Detection in Pools: How Puddle Technicians Get the Job Done 

In the past pool owners would rely on basic tests to spot water leaks in pools, like a bucket test. Luckily, we’ve come a long way since then! Puddle technicians work with advanced equipment and techniques to not only spot problem areas, but that track and isolate leaks for easier repair. 

Puddle technicians are equipped with all of the necessary tools and skills to perform pressure tests to identify plumbing leaks and dye tests to identify structural leaks or tears in vinyl liners. If a pool leak is left unchecked it will only get worse over time and that is why we highly recommend that you call in reinforcements at the first sign of water loss!
