Why Newmarket Pools Need Leak Detection
When it comes to water loss, a leak in your swimming pool is a worst-case scenario. Because pools hold such a high volume of water at any given time even a pinhole leak can lead to serious water loss and damage to surrounding areas. The longer that you wait, the worse a leak becomes so don’t hesitate to call Puddle for your Newmarket pool leak detection at the first sign of trouble.
Swimming pools are simple structures full of complicated systems and that means there are plenty of places that are prone to leaks. Half the battle of leak detection in pools is discovering whether or not you are dealing with a leak at all. There is a major difference between naturally occurring water loss and a leaking pipe or damaged structure. Instead of struggling to diagnose leaks, call a local Puddle Pro for timely, reliable testing and assessments.
Is Your Pool Leaking? The Newmarket Homeowner’s Diagnostic Guide
Whether you are dealing with a pool, spa or hot tub a dropping water level is always cause for concern. High heats and high traffic can cause natural water loss in outdoor pools. On average, you should expect to lose 3-5 inches of water on a weekly basis but if it is more than that, it is cause for concern. Traditionally, when pool owners find themselves having to refill swimming pools, they rely on a bucket test.
A bucket test involves filling a bucket with water and setting it out next to the poolside so they are exposed to the same conditions. It is important to mark the water level in each of these. After a couple of days, if the level in the pool has dropped significantly more than in the bucket, you are dealing with a leak. Next, it is important to identify what type of leak you are dealing with: structural or plumbing.
Dye Tests: This type of testing is best suited to tracking down leaks in structures or in pool liners. This process involves turning off the pool pump and letting water go still. Once still, coloured dyes are applied to pool basins in strategic areas. Because dyes weigh more than water they will be drawn to the vacuum created by a leak. Colours can be tracked to problem areas like slab cracks or tears in vinyl liners.
Pressure Testing: If you suspect that you might have a leak on your plumbing, a pressure test can help you to confirm it. When diagnosing a plumbing leak, pressure tests involve applying a steady stream of air to water lines. If this air comes into contact with a crack or leak, it will create air bubbles that can be tracked.

Newmarket Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where does water drained to a Newmarket storm grate end up?
The Town of Newmarket says water entering a storm sewer grate is not treated and all stormwater runoff in Newmarket eventually reaches Lake Simcoe. That is why pool water should never be sent to a storm drain without checking the rules first. Confirm with the Town before draining at closing or for a repair.
Are there outdoor water limits that affect filling a pool in Newmarket?
York Region's outdoor water use summary says Newmarket allows outdoor water use from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on odd or even days all year round. It does not mention pool filling, so confirm with the Town before a large fill. A pool that needs frequent top ups may have a leak worth testing for.
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.
Phil was fantastic to deal with!! Honest and trustworthy he does what he says I would only deal with this company moving forward 👍👍 thanks again for the pool liner and making the whole experience flawless!!
Puddle Pool Services has been amazing! They come every two weeks like clockwork and always leave my pool spotless. The team is professional, friendly, and really knows what they’re doing when it comes to pool chemistry. I’ve noticed a huge difference in how clean and balanced my pool has been since I started using their service. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pool maintenance!
First time calling Puddle Pools to open our pool and could not be happier with the excellent services provided by Phil and his team. We needed a small repair, as well, and Phil offered a fair price and was quick to return and have the pool up and running. He kindly answered all our questions and we will definitely use Puddle Pools for all our future pool needs!
I worked for Puddle Pools this season opening, closing and cleaning pools and it was an awesome experience! They always go above and beyond for their customers and the appreciation they have for customer satisfaction rubs off onto you. They are extremely knowledgeable in pools and there's a lot you can learn from them as an employee. Working outside on hot summer days by cool pools listening to tunes or chatting with Phil made it the best job l've had. For employees and customers, Phil and Puddle pools will guarantee you have a great experience.
Phil & team are AMAZING. I cannot even tell you how much they have made my life easier, and at a very affordable price! I used to spend so much time each week cleaning the pool and trying my best to balance it, and now I spend that time enjoying my pool instead! From always making sure our cocktail pool (pool that also can be used as a hot tub) is spic and span and perfectly balanced, to letting us know when it’s time to change the water (and of course, they do that for us too), to helping us troubleshoot the odd issue we’ve had, to even switching up schedule days when we found another day that worked better for us. They really do it all and have amazing customer service. After each service they send me a detailed email on what services were performed and what my chemical levels were, and if I need to wait a couple of hours before getting into the pool due to the chemistry fix. It’s a complete recap. Phil & team are always professional and super nice & responsive to any questions. I’m excited to have them continue maintaining our hot tub as we go into the colder months. We know we’re in great hands with them. So what are you waiting for? You’ve found the best pool/hot tub cleaning services company out there. Just call them for a quote!
Phil and team are awesome. I was in a pinch, and they made time to help us out of our predicament. This customer first approach is fleeting today, however Puddle Pool Services delivers on all accounts. If you’re looking for an honest, old school approach to your pool services, do not hesitate to call them. I’ve tried other companies, and Puddle Pool Services gets the first call every time.
