Why Surrey Pools Need Leak Detection
British Columbia is known for mild winters and that often means pools are left running all year long. This means making the most out of the swim season and having the option to take a dip at any time of year. Having an accessible swim space on your property is great but managing leaks is not! Managing your pool water level might be a part of everyday maintenance but when you begin to notice water loss, it is time to call in an expert! Professional Surrey pool leak detection identifies existing leaks, isolates affected areas and helps to organize leak repairs.
During the height of Summer, it can be difficult to decipher whether you are dealing with natural water loss or water leaks. Between evaporation, pool parties and the odd cannonball here and there, swimming pools are prone to a level of water loss normally ranging between 3-5 inches per week. If you are experiencing more water loss than this, or are finding yourself refilling water levels on a daily basis, it is time to call in expert leak detection services.
Leak Detection in Pools: Addressing Water Loss
Part of what makes swimming pool leaks so hard to deal with is that there are plenty of places that are prone to leaks. If you notice that your pool is leaking, the next step is to identify which areas of your pool are the cause. In order to properly locate the leak inside your water system it is important to determine whether it is a plumbing leak, a structural leak or an issue with pool equipment.
Managing the different areas of your water system involves using specialty tools and a keen eye to not only identify what type of leak you are dealing with but isolate the affected area for efficient repairs.
Pressure Testing: A pressure test is the best option for identifying leaks inside the plumbing system. By applying a consistent stream of pressurized air to plumbing and return lines. When this air stream comes into contact with a leak or crack, it will create air bubbles that can be tracked, or in the case of an underground leak, gurgling noises can be heard using speciality listening equipment.
Dye Tests: When you need to find a leak in a vinyl liner or in concrete structures, a dye test is the most appropriate option. This process involves switching off the pool pump so water is sitting still. Once pool water has settled, coloured dyes are strategically placed inside basins. As a leak sucks in water, dyes will be drawn to these areas and can be followed visually to the offending area.
Local pool experts understand the most frequent causes of leaks and the most common problem areas. This insight helps to identify areas of concerns as well as ruling out unaffected areas so you aren’t wasting time.
Puddle Pool Leak Detection Services: Great Results For Homes & Businesses
If you are noticing significant water loss, increased water bills or even unexplained water pooling in yards and surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to call an expert! The longer that a leak persists, the worse the problem becomes. Displaced pool water will cause shifting in soil, which will put increased pressure on vulnerable areas that can lead to breakage. An influx of water can also lead to slow leaks, water damage and even flooding to homes and surrounding areas. Luckily, our team of experts are able to provide expert leak detection for homes and businesses all across the Surrey area. With options for booking appointments by phone and online, customers can reach out to Puddle technicians 24 hours a day.
Surrey Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Surrey?
Not without permission. Surrey's Stormwater Drainage Regulation and Charges Bylaw No. 16610 prohibits discharging swimming pool or hot tub water into the stormwater drainage system without prior written authorization from the General Manager, Engineering. Contact the City before draining a pool or hot tub.
Can I fill my pool during water restrictions in Surrey?
Under Metro Surrey's Drinking Water Conservation Plan, Stages 1 and 2 do not affect pool filling. Stage 3 prohibits filling or topping up pools and hot tubs except with a health authority permit. Check the Metro Surrey stage in effect before filling in summer.
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.
Travis responded promptly to me, for servising my above ground pool. He and his team came on time, did a perfect job, sent detailed report above the condition of my pool and when he found holes in my liner, I asked him to fix it and he did right the next day. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis for your work ethics and excellence.

Bought this house with a pool that was green. After 3 days it looked new. Very impressed with the two technician girls that did the job. Really knowledgeable.
