How Leak Detection Works in Georgetown
If your pool is leaking, quick action is key to avoiding disaster. As a pool owner, you understand how disruptive a leak can be, not only to the pool itself but to surrounding areas as well. If you start to notice water loss, don’t hesitate to call a Puddle Pro for your Georgetown pool leak detection. Expert leak detection is able to identify whether or not you really are dealing with a leak, determine what type of leak it is and isolate problem areas for repair.
Leak detection in pools is a complicated process that covers a wide range of areas, both inside and on the surface of swim spaces. Surface leaks are most often caused by physical damage and plumbing leaks are often caused by aged materials, corrosion and even root damage. Just because you have begun to notice symptoms of a leak doesn’t mean that you will be able to pinpoint the problem area or that you’ve even diagnosed a leak correctly. With every day that passes by your pool is losing water, so efficient detections and assessments are key to avoiding disasters.
Pool Leak Detection Services: What to Expect
The first step to dealing with swimming pool leaks is to determine whether or not you have a leak at all! There is a big difference between water leaks and natural evaporation but they both look like water loss. When outdoor temperatures are high, pool water will burn off. At the same time, high heats will bring tons of swimmers to pools. Every body that gets out of your pool is taking water with it. This, combined with a couple of cannonballs and splash fights and you are looking at a significant drop in water level.
It is common to lose between 3-5 inches of water from your swimming pool over the course of a week. Refilling water levels after an event or a few days of high temperatures is part of standard pool care but if you are noticing more than that, you might be dealing with a leak. Pooling water and high water bills are symptoms of an existing leak somewhere in your system. Water leak detection services use specialized testing to identify the location of the leak.
Pressure Test: Swimming pools are made up of many moving parts, with complicated plumbing systems. In a salt water pool, pipes are more prone to corrosion and have a much shorter lifespan. This means leaks can form more readily in pipes. Pressure testing uses a consistent stream of air flow, applied to plumbing and return lines. If there is a leak, it will create air bubbles or, in the case of underground leaks, gurgling sounds. Specialized visual and hearing equipment make it possible to track these signs and isolate problem areas.
Dye Test: Both above ground pools and inground models are at risk of structural leaks. A dye test can help to identify leaks in a pool liner or cracks in concrete pools. This test uses coloured dyes, strategically placed in pool basins. When the pool pump is shut off and water sits still, leaks will pull water in. Because dye weighs more than pool water, it will be drawn to these areas, identifying if you are looking for a tear in a vinyl liner or physical damage to concrete.

Georgetown Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
How cold do Georgetown winters get for a closed pool?
Environment Canada normals for the Georgetown WWTP station show a January mean daily low of -10.9 C, a record low of -33.0 C and about 135.9 cm of snow a year. Lines left holding water can freeze and crack, so pools and hot tubs need a full closing with plumbing cleared before winter.
Can I drain my pool into the storm sewer in Georgetown?
Halton Region's Sewer Use By-law 2-03 prohibits sending anything to a storm sewer that could harm people, animals or vegetation or impair water quality, and treated pool water can do that. Check with the Town of Halton Hills and Halton Region about the right method for your property before you drain.
Can you test the plumbing lines as well as the pool shell?
Yes. Pressure testing checks the plumbing lines individually, which is how we tell a plumbing leak from a leak in the shell or liner. It is worth testing all the lines even when the leak seems obvious, because a second leak is easy to miss.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
Can a hot tub or spa leak be detected the same way?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs have plumbing, jets and fittings that can leak just like a pool. The same testing approach applies, adapted to the spa's equipment.
John and his team took over from another local company for the care and maintenance of our client’s hot tub. They are thorough and reliable. It’s been a refreshing change. I particularly like the detailed summary sent out after each visit. Highly recommended.
John was extremely accommodating, patient and helpful at a time when another company that I was using did not seem to care about customer service at all. Would definitely recommend Puddle Pools with 5 stars and a smile!!
Outstanding pool service that exceeds all expectations! The crew is exceptional, and 5 stars doesn’t do them justice. Their unmatched care, expertise, and clear communication—complete with regular reports and photos—set them apart. They’re quick to handle special requests or repairs, giving us complete confidence that our pool and equipment are in the best hands. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch pool care!
I will never go another summer without John and his team, from opening to weekly service, it’s been a smooth pool season. They have truly made this season a fun season for myself and kids. I would highly recommend the 16 week service, the team at Puddle Pools keeps the pool balanced and spotless, you can jump right in anytime without any thought!
I had my pool liner installed by Puddle Pools and they did an amazing job. From the initial phone call to get a quote and learn about their services to the completed project was a great experience. Bri and TJ were professional and really delivered on everything they said and quoted. Puddle Pools is very reliable and consistent in their work and promises. The prices are very reasonable as well with no surprises. I would highly recommend them for any of your pool needs as they are true professionals and really care about their customers. Thank you Puddle Pools for a fantastic liner install and pool opening.
Before we hired Puddle Pools, we were constantly struggling with algae in our pool, no matter how many times we had the water tested and treated with chemicals. We were fed up and hired Puddle Pools to maintain our pool during the summer months. Best decision ever! John comes by every week, let’s us know when he’ll be by, tests the water, cleans, and adds the necessary chemicals. He also provides a report after each visit. Our pool has been clean and ready for swimming all summer long. John is really easy to deal with, reliable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him and his services to anyone with a pool (or hot tub).
