How Leak Detection Works in Maple Ridge
If your pool is leaking, grabbing a garden hose and adding water is not enough to solve the problem. In addition to losing pool water, there are plenty of consequences happening just behind the scenes. A leak might not seem dangerous but even a little bit of water can do a whole lot of damage. Instead of refilling water lines and hoping for the best, call a Puddle Pro to identify and track issues. Calling Puddle for your Maple Ridge pool leak detection means access to top of the line tools and techniques to track and isolate leaks and organize repairs to prevent damage.
Part of what makes water leak detection such a complex process is that there are many moving parts that keep it going. From structures, pool liners, plumbing lines and mechanisms, there are plenty of places that are vulnerable to leaks. Just because you suspect a leak doesn’t mean that it will be easy to find and the longer that you wait, the worse your leak becomes. A small tear in a liner will become larger over time, underground leaks will displace soil and plumbing leaks will cause wear and tear on water systems. Professional leak detection services provide effective and efficient results so leak repairs can be organized ASAP.
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
While swimming pool leak detection might be complicated, there are a few sure signs that you are dealing with a leak. Whether you can spot a noticeable tear or break or not, water loss is a definite symptom of dealing with a pool leak. If you begin to notice that your pool water level is dropping more than a couple of inches per week, that is not regular evaporation, it is a leak!
In addition to dropping water levels, pool owners should also be on the lookout for increased water bills and even puddles of water popping up in surrounding areas. Saturated soils and damaged lawns are a sign that you are dealing with an underground leak. On a much smaller scale, if you are noticing that pool water just won’t balance, there is a chance that chemical treatments are seeping right back out through an untreated leak.
Many pool owners that are looking to identify a potential leak are quick to perform a bucket test. This consists of filling a bucket with pool water and measuring how the water level drops in the bucket versus how much it drops in the pool. If pool water drops significantly lower than the bucket, you are not dealing with standard evaporation.
Puddle Pool Services: The Best Way to Locate a Leak
If you suspect that you are dealing with a leak, identification is step one in the repair process. Leaks can occur in a wide range of places so it is important to track it down and isolate the area. The first step to isolating your leak is to test whether or not it is an issue in the structure, plumbing or pool equipment itself. There are a number of tests that can be done to determine where water is leaking out but the most common ones are:
Pressure Testing: This consists of applying a consistent stream of air flow to plumbing and lines. If you begin to see air bubbles or hear gurgling noises, it is a sign that you are dealing with leaks in pipes. In the event that you are dealing with pinhole leaks, listening devices are used to track down gurgling or bubbling noises that would otherwise go undetected.
Dye Tests: This type of testing consists of strategically placed dyes. Dye weighs more than water so when properly placed, it will be sucked up into the vacuum caused by a leak. For the best results, it is important to stop the pool pump so colour is not being circulated during the process.
A leak often can’t be tracked down and fixed in a period of 24 hours but our Puddle Pros provide timely service for leak detection and can help to organize repairs wherever needed. After years of experience in the industry our team of highly trained technicians understand the common issues facing pool owners in Maple Ridge and they have the tools to track down even the most complex leaks. Call your local pool pros today and get ahead of your pool leaks.
Maple Ridge Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I drain my pool in Maple Ridge?
On lots with municipal sanitary sewer, the Maple Ridge building bylaw requires the backwash pump to connect to the sanitary sewer and drained pool water to go to the sanitary sewer by pumped connection at no more than 2 litres per second. Lots without sanitary sewer need safe discharge works such as a rock pit at least 30 m from a septic field or watercourse. The water must not cause erosion or increased flows into watercourses. Confirm with the City before draining.
Can I fill my pool during watering restrictions in Maple Ridge?
Maple Ridge enforces the Metro Vancouver water restriction stages through its Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018. Stages 1 and 2 do not restrict filling pools and hot tubs. Stage 3 prohibits filling or topping up residential pools and hot tubs, while Stage 4 prohibits it for all pools including those with a health authority operating permit. Check the City posted stage before filling in summer.
Which Maple Ridge neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Maple Ridge, including Haney / Central Maple Ridge, Silver Valley, Albion, Yennadon, Pitt Meadows (City Centre) and Hammond / South Pitt Meadows. The full list of areas is on our Maple Ridge page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
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.
Kat and her team are the best, ive tried other companies and none come close to what they offer.
Been using Puddle Pools for over 2 years now. Great service. Always keep my hot tub super clean. Wouldn’t use anyone else!
I been using Puddle pools for cleaning my pool for a year now. It's been great experience. Highly recommend 👌
We have been using Puddle pool for 2 years now and it has been great. The service and communication is great. Luke does an amazing job of making sure the water in the pool is clean and safe to use. We love using our pool in the summer.
I was very happy with the service received from Kat at Puddle Pools. It was the first time I had used the company and it was peak-summer. Despite that, my call was replied to quickly and a visit to view the pool soon followed. The problem was discussed in order to isolate the issue and the remedy proposed, which has eliminated the issue.
We are newbies to owning a pool so needless to say it was pretty daunting to navigate through the maintenance. We feel very fortunate to have met Kat Lopez who not only helped explained the process, but walked us through it step by step. She is very patient and prompt in replying to queries. She would arrive on time when she said she would, efficient in using her time whenever she is onsite. She also provides a detailed report after every appointment so there was no second guessing on what was accomplished. Talk about professionalism at its best! The rates are reasonable. Our family is grateful we came across Puddle Pools! The rates are reasonable. We are happy to support a local business. We hope the owners know how fortunate they are to have Kat on their team! Thank you for all your help, Kat!
