How Leak Detection Works in Mission
Nothing can ruin a summer season faster than a leaking swimming pool. When in good, working order a pool is a major asset to any home or commercial space but when leaking, they are downright dangerous. Swimming pool leaks are tough to identify and even harder to track down but out local pool pros are here to help! Professional Mission pool leak detection uses speciality tools and techniques to track down structural, plumbing or equipment leaks.
Part of what makes pool leak detection such a complicated process is that there are so many moving parts to these systems. In order to get the best results, you will need to test areas for leaks that are visible and above ground, as well as the unseen ones that happen underground or behind the scenes. With various testing options, nothing slips by our experts.
Swimming Pool Leak Detection: What to Watch Out For
A small leak might not seem like much of a threat but even a pinhole leak can lead to hundreds of litres of pool water lost. It can take a while to notice that your water system has sprung a leak but the longer that it is allowed to go on, the worse your issue becomes. Instead of waiting for the worst-case scenario, there are a few simple signs that you can watch out for to identify a leak.
Water loss is a key indicator that you are dealing with a leak. If you find yourself reaching for a garden hose and having to refill swimming pools regularly, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are dealing with a leak but it is important to keep an eye on. When dealing with an outdoor pool, high heats will often lead to evaporation. This means water is burning off but not an excessive rate. Traditionally, this is addressed with a simple bucket test. This means setting aside a bucket of pool water that will be left next to the pool itself. From here, it is possible to measure the rate of water loss in the pool basin and in the bucket. The rate of evaporation should be similar and if water in the pool basin drops at a higher rate than the bucket, it is likely that you are dealing with a leak.
Testing For Structural Leaks: Some structural leaks can be large cracks or obvious breakage caused by bad weather, damage from construction projects, or physical trauma. These can be easy to spot or difficult to find. When dealing with a tear in a pool liner, it is tough to see these happening underneath water surfaces. Instead of relying on visual queues alone, a dye test can help to point out problem areas. By turning off the pool pump and strategically placing dye in pool water, it is possible to follow the colour streams into the vacuum that is formed by a crack or leak.
Testing For Plumbing Leaks: If you notice that your pool water level is dropping but you can’t see any signs of breakage or dye isn’t turning up a leak, it is time to check your plumbing lines. In the case of underground or water system leaks, pressure testing is used to locate the leak and isolate the impacted area. Pressure testing consists of continuous air flow that travels through lines producing air bubbles near cracks and, in the case of saturated soil, makes gurgling sounds. This combined with speciality listening equipment makes it possible to track down even the smallest leak.
Specialist leak detection in pools makes it possible to stop the water loss, reduce water bills, and help to organize necessary leak repairs to solve the issues.

Mission Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where must pool backwash go in Mission?
Mission Sewer Bylaw 5033-2009, section 17, requires every pool with a pump system on a lot served by sanitary sewer to discharge its backwash pump into the sanitary sewer. No other Mission rule on draining full pool volumes was found, so confirm with the City before emptying a pool.
Can I fill or top up a pool or hot tub during water restrictions in Mission?
Under the City of Mission Water Bylaw 6244-2023, Stage 2 bans topping up or filling decorative water features at homes. Stage 3 bans filling residential pools and hot tubs unless they hold a health authority operating permit and Stage 4 bans topping up or filling any pool or hot tub. A pool that keeps needing top ups is worth checking for leaks before restrictions tighten and confirm the stage in force with the City.
Can I fill my pool during water restrictions in Mission?
Mission and Mission use their own four stage water restrictions, in effect May 1 to September 30 under Waterworks Regulations Bylaw No. 2665-2017. Stages 1 and 2 do not restrict filling pools, Stage 3 prohibits filling or topping up pools and hot tubs unless they hold a valid Fraser Health operating permit and Stage 4 prohibits it even for permitted pools. Check the joint system's posted stage before a summer fill.
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.
Amazing service every time. We have our in ground pool & hot tub cared for by Puddle Pools. A detailed report is provided with every service. They’ve also replaced our pool liner and other fixes along the way. Excellent team of experts.
I called Puddle Pools to replace my circulation pump after calling around for other quotes and was told by another company that it would take five days to get the part that I needed. I didn’t want my pool sitting idle, especially in summer heat without circulation, so Rav came on his day off to get it done. He was super professional and very friendly as well. Awesome service. I will definitely use them for my pool stuff going forward. Thanks 😊
I had a great experience with Puddle Pools for an above-ground pool liner replacement. The service was high-quality, affordable, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied with the final installation. Rav, the owner, was fantastic to work with. He is professional, reasonable, and clearly very knowledgeable about his craft. It’s hard to find reliable service like this, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for pool maintenance or repairs! Thanks again Rav!
