Leak Detection in Oakville, ON
Over the course of the year, your pool goes through a lot. Between the changing of the seasons, roots and nearby plant life, storms and physical damage, pools are always at risk of leaks. The signs of a leak might start out subtle at first but over time they only become worse. With Puddle, Oakville pool leak detection services are timely, efficient and affordable so there is no reason not to call an expert when you start to notice water loss.
Unlike a dripping faucet, a leak in your pool can happen in a wide range of places. The first step to treating a leak is to find it and that is easier said than done. Proper swimming pool leak detection tests structures, plumbing and return lines to figure out exactly where your leak is located. Leak detection should be done in 3 steps: visual inspections, determining what sort of leak you are dealing with and isolating problem areas for treatment. If you start to notice water loss in your swim space, don’t hesitate to call a Pro.
Is it Evaporation or a Leak? The Oakville Homeowner’s Diagnostic Guide
Refilling water levels is a standard part of pool maintenance but it is important to keep an eye on how much pool water you are losing. Losing 3 inches of water per week, more or less, it is often a symptom of evaporation or high usage. Every time a body gets out of your pool, they are carrying water out with them. Every time someone splashes or does a cannonball, there is water leaving your swimming pool. In fact, high usage can cover up the fact that you are dealing with a leak.
When dealing with an above ground pool, leaks will flood surface areas and nearby structures. If an inground pool is leaking, it causes underground leaks. In either case, there are many moving parts that keeps water systems running and each of these is susceptible to damage and leaks. Without quick detection and repair, leaks will continue to lose water, causing damage to pools and surrounding areas.
You might be able to spot large cracks or tears in vinyl liners but for those leaks that happen behind the scenes, it is a lot more difficult to identify unseen issues. Luckily, there are testing options for both surface leaks and plumbing leaks. A bucket test might help to determine whether or not you are dealing with water leaks but they sure can’t help you locate them and that is where our Puddle technicians come in.
Non-Invasive Diagnostics: Pinpointing Pool Leaks Without the Digging
In order to get the best results for our clients, Puddle technicians are outfitted with top tools, techniques and resources to track down even the smallest leak. Swimming pools hold thousands of litres of water at a time, so even a pinhole leak can lead to serious water loss and that makes quick action incredibly important. Puddle technicians are local to the Oakville area so you can expect timely service, as well as experience and knowledge of the area — we understand what you are up against!
Pressure Testing: Used to identify leaks in plumbing and return lines, pressure testing uses a constant stream of air flow applied to pipes. If there are leaks present, this will create a stream of air bubbles that can be followed and if it is an underground leak, saturated soil will make a gurgling sound that can be followed using specialty listening tools.
Dye Testing: Identifying structural leaks is best done with a simple dye test. This process involves turning off the pool pump so water sits still. Coloured dyes are then strategically placed and, if there is a leak present, will be drawn to the area.
Each member of the Puddle team is highly trained and experienced, as well as fully insured to provide peace of mind as well as excellent results. It might not be possible to go from having leak detection and repair in a matter of 24 hours but the longer you wait, the worse your issue becomes, so call a local Puddle Pro today!
Oakville Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
How should I drain my pool in Oakville?
The Town of Oakville says chlorinated pool or spa water must never be drained into creeks; let the water sit 72 hours so chemicals can dissipate, then drain over a grassy area before it reaches the storm sewer. Halton Region Sewer Use By-law 2-03 also bans storm discharges that could harm people, animals or vegetation or impair water quality. Confirm with the Town before draining.
Which Oakville neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Oakville, including South East Oakville, South West Oakville, Old Oakville, Bronte Village, Milton and Glen Abbey. The full list of areas is on our Oakville page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
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.
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).
