Leak Detection in New Westminster, BC
Homes in New Westminster have a lot of character and property owners take a lot of pride in their living space, as well as commercial spaces. A swimming pool adds a lot of these areas but a water leak can turn a swim space from a valuable asset to a huge liability. Swimming pool leaks do not just impact basins, they impact whole areas. From higher water bills, saturated lawns and damage, shifting soil and wear and tear to water systems, leaks bring on a whole host of problems. If you suspect you are dealing with a leak, call a Puddle Pro for your New Westminster pool leak detection to stop the water loss and prevent unnecessary damage.
There are plenty of areas that your pool, hot tub or swim space might spring a leak and that is what makes leak detection such a complex process. In an inground pool you might be dealing with an underground leak stemming from cracks or tears in vinyl liners, while above ground pools are more susceptible to physical damage and structural leaks. These are the two most common areas to find leaks but it is also possible for pool equipment itself to begin losing water. Professional leak detection services are able to identify whether or not you are dealing with a leak, isolate the problem areas and help to organize repairs.
Leak Detection in Pools: A Complex Process
There are plenty of moving parts that keep your water systems moving and each of these are vulnerable to wear and tear. Leaks can also happen at any time of year, so it is possible for them to go unnoticed over the course of the off-season. It is common for evaporation to happen, so swimming pools will need to be refilled at the start of the spring season. If you refill a pool only to notice the water level dropping, it should be cause for concern.
High temperatures cause increased evaporation rates, so it is common to lose an inch of water here and there. A high traffic swim space will have dozens of bodies moving in and out of it so water loss is common in these situations as well. Swimming pools should not lose more than several inches of water on a weekly basis, so if you are losing multiple inches of water per day, you are definitely dealing with a leak.
Simple methods like a bucket test can help to confirm whether or not you are dealing with excessive water loss but they can’t help to locate the leak. The bucket test involves taking a bucket of pool water and setting it next to swimming pools, making sure that both water sources are exposed to the same conditions. If the pool water level drops noticeably more than the water in the bucket, it is a sign that you are dealing with a leak. If this is the case, it is time to call a local pool specialist to track down these leaks and begin to repair process.
The Puddle Guarantee: Excellent Results For Your Swimming Pool Leak Detection
In order to get the best results for our clients, Puddle technicians come equipped with multiple leak detection methods. The right tools and techniques make it possible to not only spot a leak but to identify what type of leak you are dealing with and pinpoint problem areas.
Dye tests are the preferred option for structural testing and pressure testing is best suited for plumbing lines and internal water systems. Different coloured dyes make it possible to track down leaks in pools of any type and lined with any colour. By strategically placing coloured dyes and turning off pool pumps, it is possible to follow colours as they are sucked up into the vacuum created by leaks.
Pressure testing involves using a consistent flow of air applied to plumbing and return lines. If there is a leak near equipment you will begin to see air bubbles forming. In the case of an underground leak, air will displace saturated soil, creating bubbling or gurgling sounds. Listening devices can be used to isolate problem areas so repairs can be organized.
In addition to providing professional leak detection services, Puddle technicians are available for routine pool care, as well as single service cleanings, system refreshes, seasonal care and even pool inspections. With options for online and by-phone booking, you can get the ball rolling on your pool services 24 hours a day.
New Westminster 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.
Great service! We had Matt come over to drain and refill the hot tub. He also washed the whole tub and balanced the chemicals. Definitely would recommend!
These ladies are amazing! Identified the problem, ordered the new part and quickly got out to do the repair. Both Staci and Lola were professional and personable…a rare combination these days. I highly recommend this company
We rented our house and needed a hot tub cleaning service asap. I called PPS and they responded to the urgency of our situation right away. Throughout the rental period PPS was extremely flexible and offered after hours contact through text. Their service is very professional and met the needs of an extreme picky house guest. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing a hot tub cleaning service.
We did call Puddle's for a inspection and the guy Yuvi told us exactly what needs to be done no left or right just direct things that needed to solved and we liked them and overall Management ia soo good. Pricing wise super fair even though it's Vancouver lol!
I don't know much about but a guy name Yuvi youngman seems so professional and he's the one we been looking for he's the best and yeah he's a part of Puddle's so i will recommend this company highly. Thanks again to the Management Miss Tina and Yuvi.
Puddle Pools might be the only company in the Vancouver area that services inflatable spas. I contacted five other companies, and they were the only ones willing to help. On top of that, they were professional, prompt, and reasonably priced, especially compared to how much others charge for leak detection in pools and hot tubs. I’d definitely use their services again.

Our family just can't say enough good things about Puddle Pool Services. We had a terrible provider before - completely unresponsive, often a no show, chaotic invoicing, and no reporting. What a difference with Puddle Pools! As soon as our account was set up we were on a weekly schedule and it was like clockwork! The technicians are completely reliable, thorough, and send a report after each visit with check marks for what was done for servicing, short notes, and pictures. Talk about over the top service. This past week we had a pipe joint fail in the poolhouse and we were away. Our caretaker noticed it right away and Puddle Pools had someone out the next day to check and find out what they needed to bring the next day for repairs. They turned off the pump to protect it while the caretaker refilled the pool and then came back the next day to turn it on. What could have been an expensive disaster was all taken care of. The stress relief this provided was huge! We love, love, love Puddle Pools. Thank you, Travis!
Kat from Puddle Pool Services is great. She’s punctual, thorough and always does a great job. My pool and spa have never looked better!
