Leak Detection in Point Edward, ON
There is never a good time to spring a leak. Plumbing systems are complicated and are vulnerable to weakening and damage. Having a leak under your sink is a pain but when it comes to a swimming pool, it is serious trouble. Swimming pools hold thousands of gallons of water at any given time — that is a lot of pressure! Even a pinhole leak will lead to serious water loss, which will quickly lead to serious damage. Don’t let a leak ruin your swim season when you can call a local Puddle Pro for your Point Edward pool leak detection.
Whenever there is a pool, spa or hot tub that is losing water, it is important to consider the long-term consequences. Instead of just driving up water bills (which it will), or making it impossible to balance your water chemistry, a leaking pool can displace soil, cause water damage, flood basements and drown lawns.
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
If you start to notice that the water level in your pool is lower than usual, there are a couple possible reasons. Water loss can occur naturally during high heats or high traffic environments. On average, pool owners should expect between 3-5 inches of water loss over the course of a week.
If you are noticing more than this or find yourself having to refill water levels every day, it is time to consider that you might be dealing with a leak. The easiest way to measure water loss is to mark the water level in a pool. If water loss persists without a good reason, it is time to call in the experts.
Puddle Pool Leak Detection Services: Tracking Down Problem Areas
Diagnosing a leak is the first step toward repair but it is just that, a first step. Next, it is time to locate the location of the leak. When dealing with an above ground pool, identifying problem areas is easier just because structure and plumbing are on display. An inground pool is tricky because structures and plumbing are primarily buried. Luckily, our Puddle technicians come prepared with all of the necessary tools to test both structures and plumbing lines.
Plumbing Leaks: The best way to diagnose leaks in plumbing is with a pressure test. This process involves applying a steady flow of air to water and return lines. In the event that air flow comes into contact with a crack it will create air bubbles that can be tracked visually. In the case of an underground leak (often caused by root damage or corrosion) saturated soil will make gurgling sounds.
Structural Leaks: Dye tests are the best tool for diagnosing structural leaks in pools. This type of testing involves turning off pool pumps and waiting for water to go still. Once still, coloured dyes are strategically placed inside basins. If there is a leak in the structure or pool liner it will create a vacuum that draws in the dye and leaves a colourful trail right to the source of your problem.
Once a leak is diagnosed, tracked down and the problem areas are isolated, Puddle technicians will provide referrals to local experts for all of your leak repair needs. By offering options for regular pool care programs, seasonal treatments, service calls, deep cleans and pool inspections, there is never a bad time to call a Puddle Pro. Book your appointment by phone or online 24 hours a day.
Point Edward Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hot tub or spa leak be detected the same way?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs have plumbing, jets and fittings that can leak just like a pool. The same testing approach applies, adapted to the spa's equipment.
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.
I am so happy that I found Puddle Pools. Mary, Simon and their team were so great to deal with. Communication was terrific; prices are transparent and reasonable! No one asked me for this review but I felt they really deserved a good one. They came back to make something right and didn’t charge extra. Great customer service and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this company.
Excellent service! Professional, responsive, and efficient. The best pool service I have experienced in the past 10 years! Thank you Simon 👍
Mary and Simon did an outstanding job replacing our pool liner, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. They are expertise and friendly service made the experience enjoyable, and I would highly recommend them to others.
The Puddle Pools team has been great to work with! We reached out after we were having some issues with our pool and Mary was quick with her response that they could help. Josh was so helpful and great to work with. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends!
Simon, Mary and their staff were amazing to work with. Throughout the process of a full pool installation and a hot tub purchase they were always available to answer questions, alleviate our concerns and ensure we were getting the best products at very competitive pricing. They were efficient with their time from start to finish. They always showed up when they were supposed to and communication flawlessly throughout execution. We appreciate the effort and quality workmanship from our friends at puddle pools for making our backyard a functional space to enjoy our family in friends for many years to come.
I can not say enough good things about Mary and her team. We are extremely happy we switched to Puddle Pool systems. We are looking forward to a stress free and worry free summer!
