How Leak Detection Works in Oliver
When it comes to swimming pools even a small leak is enough to ruin your summer. If a pool is losing water it will cause your water level to drop, make it impossible to balance chemicals and can lead to serious damage to the surrounding area. Even a small amount of water loss can be signs of a major problem, so don’t wait to call Puddle for your Oliver pool leak detection services. A Puddle Pro doesn’t just detect leaks, they accurately locate and isolate the problem area so you can organize leak repairs, solving the problem before it becomes a catastrophe.
Leak Detection in Pools: Identifying Water Loss
During the summer months swimming pools are high traffic areas. With high heats, along with friends, family, tenants and guests stepping in and out of swim spaces it is no surprise that the water level will drop a bit. Over the course of a week pool owners can expect to see 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week but if you are dealing with more than that, you might be dealing with a leak.
If you suspect that you are dealing with a swimming pool leak, it is a good idea to mark the pool water level and monitor it for a few days. If you notice that it has dropped more than the standard amount, it is time to call an expert. Other signs that you might be dealing with a leak is a higher than usual water bill, or in extreme cases, puddles forming around poolsides without reason. Once you’ve established that you are dealing with water loss, it is time to call an expert for thorough swimming pool leak detection.
Pressure Test: This type of testing is best suited to tracking down plumbing leaks. This process involves applying a steady stream of air to water and return lines. If this air comes into contact with a crack or opening it will create bubbles that will show up visually and can be used to track down problem areas.
Dye Test: When dealing with a potential structural leak, a dye test is the best tool for the job. By shutting off the pool pump and waiting until water goes still, it is possible to strategically place coloured dyes into pool water. These dyes weigh more than pool water itself and will be attracted to the vacuum created by a leak. This allows pool professionals to follow the colour trails left behind. From here, experts can tell whether you are dealing with a foundation crack, slab leak or tear in a vinyl liner. Pool leaks don’t stand a chance against our Puddle Pros!

Oliver Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
