Leak Detection in Sarnia, ON
Anywhere that water is concerned, there is always the risk of leaks. A leaky pipe in a kitchen sink is an annoyance but when it comes to a swimming pool even a small leak can lead to large-scale damage. The average pool holds hundreds of gallons of water so even a pinhole leak can mean severe water loss. If you suspect that you are dealing with water loss don’t hesitate to call your local Puddle crew for expert Sarnia pool leak detection services.
Part of what makes swimming pool leaks so dangerous is that they will often start out by being subtle. Unless it is a question of physical damage a leak will often begin slowly, getting worse over time. Instead of ignoring a problem and hoping it goes away, call an expert at the first sign of trouble. When diagnosed early leaks can often be patched or repaired easily but as the issue becomes worse, the more it will take to fix. Delayed treatments often mean more expensive solutions but our Puddle technicians are here to help with quick and efficient detection for swimming pool leaks.
Leak Detection in Pools: Understanding the Process
It can be tough to determine whether or not you are dealing with a leak in your pool. Water loss can occur naturally through use or caused by high heats but there is a big difference between losing 3 inches of water on a weekly basis and losing that much every day. If you think that you might be losing water but aren’t quite sure, it might be time for a bucket test.
A bucket test involves placing a bucket of water next to the pool so the two are exposed to the same conditions. Once placed, mark the water level in both the pool and the bucket. After a few days check the levels. If the water level in the bucket is significantly different from the pool water level you are likely dealing with a leak. Determining that you are dealing with a leak is the first step toward solving the problem but it definitely isn’t the last.
It is important to track down and isolate effected areas and that means deciphering if you are dealing with a structural or plumbing leak.
Structural Leaks: When dealing with an above ground pool, structural leaks are often easier to pinpoint. For inground pools it is easy to miss structural water loss. Even a small tear in a pool liner is enough to cause a serious issue. In order to diagnose structural leaks, our Puddle technicians come equipped with all of the necessary tools for a dye test. This process involves turning off pool pumps and letting water settle until still. From here, coloured dyes are strategically placed inside the pool water. Because dyes weigh more than the water itself they will be sucked up by the vacuum created by a leak.
Plumbing Leaks: If you suspect that your leaks are happening within your plumbing system, you are in the market for a pressure test. The pressure test involves applying a steady stream of air to plumbing lines. If this air stream comes into contact with a leak or opening it will create air bubbles or in the case of saturated soil, it will make gurgling sounds.
In addition to scanning various areas of your pool in search of water leaks, our team of experts is also well connected with reliable pool care services throughout Sarnia. By tapping into our network of industry experts we can point pool owners in right directions for leak repairs. With options for booking your pool leak detection online or by phone, there is never a bad time to call an expert pool leak detector.
Sarnia Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I drain my pool in Sarnia?
The City of Sarnia's pool brochure says water from a pool must not discharge or run onto adjacent properties. Keep the discharge on your own property and check with the City about any other rules before closing.
What are Sarnia summers like for a pool?
Environment and Climate Change Canada 1991 to 2020 normals for Sarnia show a July mean daily maximum of 26.5 C, about 14.5 days a year above 30 C and about 16.1 thunderstorm days a year. Ontario pool guidance points to opening between late April and mid May.
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.
Can you test the plumbing lines as well as the pool shell?
Yes. Pressure testing checks the plumbing lines individually, which is how we tell a plumbing leak from a leak in the shell or liner. It is worth testing all the lines even when the leak seems obvious, because a second leak is easy to miss.
Should I keep the pool running while I wait for a leak test?
Keep the water level above the skimmer so the pump does not run dry, and note how much water you add and when. That record helps the test. If the level is dropping quickly, tell us when you book so the visit can be prioritized.
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!
