Vancouver Leak Detection

For homes and businesses in Vancouver having an available swim space helps to make the most out of the swim season and beyond. In a hotel environment a swimming pool can help to bring in guests and in a residential space, a pool is a great place to host, relax and get a bit of exercise. No matter where your pool is located, even a small leak will quickly become a major issue. There are plenty of places that leaks can form but no matter the location, water loss leads to frustration, increased water bills, structural damage and other unpleasant surprises. Professional Vancouver leak detection identifies what type of leak you are dealing with and isolates affected areas so call today before your system loses more water!

It is no secret that all water leaks can cause damage but each leak is its own animal. Trying to treat a plumbing leak in the same way that you will treat a structural leak will only result in subpar results. Swimming pool leaks should be treated according to type, location and the age of your system. Hiring an expert for your pool leak detection services help to identify what type of leak you are dealing with, isolates the area and can help to organize leak repair in the Vancouver area.

Leak Detection in Pools: Identification, Isolation and Proper Testing

Water levels will vary throughout the course of a year but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are dealing with a leak. Vancouver is known for high heats and temperamental weather. Combine these with high swim traffic and it is a recipe for a decreased water level. Throughout summer, high heats will lead to natural evaporation and the bodies that are going in and out of it are carrying pool water with them with every exit. On average, an outdoor swimming pool loses between 3-5 inches of water over the course of a week. For pool owners it can be difficult to tell if this is standard water loss or a leak.

In order to determine whether or not you are dealing with a water leak many pool owners lean on traditional methods like the bucket test. This test involves taking a bucket of pool water and setting it out next to the side of your pool, making sure that both water sources are exposed to the same conditions. After a couple of days, the evaporation rate in the bucket should be the same as the evaporation rate in the pool. If the pool is significantly less than the bucket, you are more than likely dealing with a leak.
