Leak Detection in Squamish, BC
There is no such thing as a good plumbing leak but there is nothing worse than swimming pool leaks! The average pool holds thousands of litres of water at any given time so even a pinhole leak can have serious consequences. If you suspect your pool is leaking, don’t hesitate to call Puddle for Squamish pool leak detection services and stop water loss in its tracks!
Pools are built tough to withstand standard wear and tear but physical damage, cold weather and even a tear in pool liners can mean serious problems. Part of what makes leak detection in pools so complicated is that it is tough to diagnose water loss in the first place! With years of experience under our belts, Puddle technicians are able to diagnose when the trickiest leaks, isolate problem areas, and even help to organize repairs so you can get back to swimming!
Is Your Pool Losing Water? How to Spot a Leak
It is common to spot a drop in water levels when dealing with a high-use swim space. The more people that use your pool, the more water is carried out with them. Combine this with cannonballs and splashing, along with evaporation caused by high heats and it is a recipe for low water levels. During the summer months pool owners can expect to see a 3-5 inch drop in levels over the course of a week. If you are noticing more than that, you might be dealing with a pool leak.
If you aren’t sure whether you are dealing with natural water loss or a pool leak, you can always try out a bucket test. This process involves filling a bucket with water and setting it next to the pool so both are exposed to the same conditions. Mark the water conditions in each and if, after a couple days, the water level in the pool is lower than the bucket, you are dealing with a leak. Other signs of a pool leak include high water bills, an inability to balance chemicals and, in severe cases, puddles forming in the surrounding areas of pools.
When dealing with an above ground pool, it is much easier to identify plumbing and structural leaks because they are visible above ground. Identifying areas of water loss in an inground pool is much more difficult but local Puddle technicians are here to help!
Dye Tests: When testing for structural pool leaks coloured dyes are your best friend! This process involves turning off the pool pump so water stops moving. Once still, coloured dyes are strategically applied to basins. Dyes are heavy and will be carried to areas where leaks are present. Technicians can then follow those coloured trails directly to problem areas.
Pressure Tests: When identifying leaks inside pool water systems it is important to consider everything from plumbing, return lines and equipment. By applying a stream of consistent air flow to plumbing, Puddle technicians can identify leaks within internal systems. If air comes into contact with cracks or openings it will create air bubbles that can be followed visually.

Squamish Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
