Prosper Pool Leak Detection

Prosper TX is known for high heat, and there’s no better way to fight back against a scorcher than with a day by the pool. As great as it is to do the backstroke in a backyard swim space a swimming pool leak will bring that fun in the sun to a screeching halt. If you start to notice a drop in water levels, an inability to balance chemicals, or utility bills shooting up call Puddle for Prosper pool leak detection services. 

Swimming pools are complicated structures with many moving parts. Even if structures and liners look good at a glance, there’s no guarantee that there aren’t issues below the surface. Leak detection in pools requires looking at structures, surfaces and liners, as well as internal water systems, plumbing and equipment. Puddle technicians use top tools and testing kits to detect pool leaks of all sizes, identifying types and isolating the problem area for repair. 

Swimming Pool Leak Detection: How to Identify Unnatural Water Loss 

It isn’t always easy to identify water loss in swimming pools. Between evaporation caused by high heat and swimmers splashing around pool owners can expect approximately 3-5 inches of water loss over a week. It’s easy to grab a garden hose and refill swim spaces but this might be a sign of a bigger problem. 

Some of the most common symptoms of a pool leak include: 

• High water/utility bills 
• Dropping water levels 
• Unexplained puddles forming around pools 

If you suspect that there is an issue within your system but are struggling to measure water levels, it’s time for a bucket test. This process involves setting a bucket of water beside the pool so they are both exposed to the elements and marking the water level in each. After a couple of days, the rate of water loss should be the same in each. If the water level in the pool is lower than in the bucket, it’s time to call Puddle for pool leak detection. 

Puddle Pool Services: Expert Residential & Commercial Pool Leak Detection Services 

There is no standard leak test on the market. Pool leaks can be divided into two categories: structural and plumbing leaks. Each of these has distinct characteristics and will need to be treated differently. Puddle technicians use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to identify the type of pool leak that you’re dealing with and isolate problem areas for repair.  

Dye Tests 

The best way to test for structural leaks is with a dye test. In addition to slab cracks, broken tiles or damage to the foundation levels of swimming pools, it also covers tears in pool liners. Dyes are strategically applied to pool water. If there is a water leak present it will draw the dye right to the source of the leak, leaving a visible trail behind. 

Pressure Testing

When managing an in-ground pool the majority of plumbing lines run underground. This makes it tricky to see problem areas for yourself. Puddle technicians use steady streams of airflow to track down cracks and damage within these systems. If there is a leak it will create air bubbles in return lines. 

If you suspect that your pool is leaking somewhere inside plumbing systems, it’s important to deal with it immediately. Even a small swimming pool leak will worsen over time, and before you know it you’re dealing with widespread disaster. Pool leak detection and repair go hand-in-hand. If Puddle technicians find a leak, we’ll refer you to a reliable, local specialist for all of your leak repair needs.
