Leak Detection in Milton, ON
A swimming pool is a great way to spend a summer morning, afternoon or evening! When you are ready to soak up the sunshine there is no better place than a pool but a leak can ruin that pretty quickly. A bit of water loss is common during the summer season but if you find yourself having to refill pools daily only to wake up to low water level, you might be dealing with a leak. A leaky sink is a problem but is often easy to identify and can be handled with a bucket until plumbers arrive — pools are not that easy! If you suspect you are dealing with a leak, call Puddle for affordable and efficient Milton pool leak detection services.
Leak detection in pools is not a simple process. Instead of just giving a pool a quick visual inspection, tracking down leaks means assessing structures, plumbing and the pool equipment itself. Any pool, spa or hot tub is vulnerable to physical damage, corrosion (particularly in salt water systems), along with wear and tear. Figuring out which one of these you are dealing with is key to solving your issue but this is easier said than done — until you call Puddle, that is!
Pool Leak Detection: Identify, Locate & Isolate
One of the hardest parts of Canadian leak detection is just figuring out if you are dealing with a leak in the first place. A bit of water loss is normal during the summer months so it is easy to write-off a reduced water level but if it is a leak, the longer you wait, the worse it becomes. If your pool is losing water, it has to go somewhere! Over time, underground leaks will shift soil under and around pool structures putting weight on more vulnerable spaces and leading to breaking. This doesn’t just apply to swimming pools but pool decks and even walkways in the surrounding area.
In addition to shifting soil, displaced pool water around foundations of homes or commercial spaces can flood basements, soften construction materials meaning rot, mold and water damage and will drown lawns and ruin landscaping. With all of that considered, if you are losing more that 3-5 inches of water over the course of a week, don’t wait to call an expert! Unexplained puddles near poolsides and high water bills are all indicators that you might be dealing with water leaks.
Identifying a leak is the first step to solving your problem and the next one is to find out what sort of leak you are dealing with. When you want to find a leak, it is important to check on several aspects of your swim space, including structures and pool liners, equipment and components and plumbing and return lines. Now, that is a lot! Lucky for you, Puddle technicians are equipped with the top testing equipment and techniques to track down problem areas efficiently.
A pressure test is best suited to tracking down leaks in plumbing lines. This involves applying a steady stream of pressurized air to lines. If air flow comes in contact with cracks or leaks, it will create a stream of bubbles that can be tracked visually. In the case of underground leaks, air streams will create gurgling noises in saturated soils that can be followed with speciality listening equipment. A dye test works to track down leaks in structures of a vinyl liner. Dye testing involves switching off the pool pump and letting water settle until still. From there, coloured dyes are strategically placed in water, where it will be attracted to any open/leaking areas. As the colours move, they create a trail toward leaks.

Milton Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does a vinyl liner pool leak differently from a concrete pool?
The usual suspects differ. Vinyl liners tend to leak through tears, punctures or around fittings and faceplates, while concrete and plaster pools are more likely to leak through cracks or at tile lines, lights and returns. Dye testing works on both.
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.
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).
