Why Lambton Shores Pools Need Leak Detection
Whether a swimming pool is 20 years old or 2 month old, they are always at risk of leaks. If you own or are managing a swim space it is important to make sure that your water systems are in good, working order. There is never a good time to spring a leak indoors or outside, but when it comes to leaks in a pool, this is a worst-case scenario. If you suspect that you are dealing with high rates of water loss, don’t hesitate to call a Puddle Pro. Lambton Shores pool leak detection tracks water loss, isolates problem areas for repair and does it all quickly to limit damage.
When dealing with swimming pools water loss can occur naturally or due to physical damage. This can be blunt force from falling items, corrosion in pipes, root damage and just worn out materials. It is important to know what type of water loss you are dealing with and to take quick action to solve the issue. With every day that goes by, leaks get worse so quick action is important to preventing damage. Luckily, local Puddle Pros are here to help!
Leak Detection in Pools: What Makes the Process So Complicated?
One of the most difficult parts of pool leak detection is figuring out if you are dealing with a leak at all! During periods of high heats and high traffic, like a pool party for example, you can expect to see some instant water loss. Prolonged periods of warm weather will cause evaporation while many swimmers jumping in and out of water means people carrying out pool water on their bodies as well as pushing it out with cannonballs, dives and good old fashioned splashing.
On average it is common to lose between 3-5 inches of water over the course of a week but any more than that and it is time to be concerned. If you find yourself constantly refilling your water level, it might be time for a bucket test. This process involves setting a bucket of water poolside so it is exposed to the same elements as the pool. Mark the water level in both and after a few days, the water level in the pool has dropped significantly more than in the bucket, you are likely dealing with a leak.
If a bucket test gives you the impression that there is a leak in your system it is time to call in the big guns — your local Puddle Pro! Puddle crews provide pressure testing and dye tests to address structures as well as plumbing systems.
Dye Test: When dealing with an above ground pool, it is easier to diagnose structural leaks because it is on full display. For inground pools structures and the majority of plumbing systems are buried and this makes tracking a leak complicated. A dye test is best used to find leaks in structures and vinyl liners. This process involves turning off a pool pump so water goes still. Coloured dyes are then strategically placed throughout the pool basin. Because dyes weigh more than pool water it will be sucked up into the vacuum created by a leak and this colour can be followed.
Pressure Test: This process involves applying a steady stream of air to plumbing lines. If this air flow comes into contact with a leak it will create air bubbles that can be tracked visually. In the case of an underground leak you can expect to find saturated soil and this will create gurgling sounds when it comes into contact with air flow, point our Puddle crews in the right direction.

Lambton Shores Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What happens if you find a leak?
We show you where it is and explain the repair options. Many leaks at fittings, skimmers, lights or small cracks can be repaired directly. Larger structural or underground plumbing repairs are quoted separately so you can decide with the full picture.
Why does a small leak matter?
A pool holds a large volume of water, so a small leak adds up quickly. Beyond the water bill, a leak makes chemistry impossible to hold because treated water keeps escaping, it strains the pump and circulation system and water escaping into the ground can damage landscaping and, over time, the surrounding structure.
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.
I am so happy that I found Puddle Pools. Mary, Simon and their team were so great to deal with. Communication was terrific; prices are transparent and reasonable! No one asked me for this review but I felt they really deserved a good one. They came back to make something right and didn’t charge extra. Great customer service and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this company.
Excellent service! Professional, responsive, and efficient. The best pool service I have experienced in the past 10 years! Thank you Simon 👍
Mary and Simon did an outstanding job replacing our pool liner, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. They are expertise and friendly service made the experience enjoyable, and I would highly recommend them to others.
The Puddle Pools team has been great to work with! We reached out after we were having some issues with our pool and Mary was quick with her response that they could help. Josh was so helpful and great to work with. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends!
Simon, Mary and their staff were amazing to work with. Throughout the process of a full pool installation and a hot tub purchase they were always available to answer questions, alleviate our concerns and ensure we were getting the best products at very competitive pricing. They were efficient with their time from start to finish. They always showed up when they were supposed to and communication flawlessly throughout execution. We appreciate the effort and quality workmanship from our friends at puddle pools for making our backyard a functional space to enjoy our family in friends for many years to come.
I can not say enough good things about Mary and her team. We are extremely happy we switched to Puddle Pool systems. We are looking forward to a stress free and worry free summer!
