Why Victoria Pools Need Leak Detection
Victoria BC is an amazing place to visit and an even better place to live. Purchasing a beautiful home with a pool is a dream for many but a leak can quickly turn it into a nightmare! Water loss does not just impact the swimming pool itself, it has a ripple effect to the entire surrounding area. If you suspect that you are losing water, call in expert Victoria pool leak detection to provide either a clean bill of health or track and isolate problem areas.
Whether you are dealing with a pool, spa or hot tub leaks are always bad news! It is inconvenient to have to replace water levels but more than that, it can cause damage to surrounding areas and drive up water bills. If you suspect that you are dealing with a leak in your pool, call a Puddle Pro to locate the leak and isolate the areas, so you can put a stop to water loss quickly and efficiently.
What Makes Leak Detection in Pools So Complicated?
Water loss can happen in a variety of ways, some of which include standard evaporation or high use displacing pool water. The first step to water leak detection and repair is to identify that you are actually dealing with a leak. This often means measuring water loss, monitoring surrounding areas for puddles or unexpected water damage and higher utility bills. All of these are indicators that you are dealing with an issue but the biggest sign is when your pool water level begins to drop.
High temperatures and even a heat wave can cause evaporation in pools and high traffic areas like pool parties or swimming lessons means water is being carried out one person at a time. More often than not, this type of use results in losing 3-5 inches of water on a weekly basis. If you are experiencing more than that, it is time to call in local leak detection services.
Tracking a leak in your home can mean needing to investigate under sinks and maybe even flooring but when dealing with a pool, it can mean having to manage large portions of a yard or even a concrete foundation. When you want to find a leak it is important to organize in-depth testing of structures, plumbing systems and equipment. Luckily, Puddle pool leak detection services are equipped with the right tools and techniques to test these areas.
Tracking a plumbing leak behind the scenes or underground is a complicated process but our team of technicians use pressure testing to track them down. A pressure test uses a consistent stream of air flow applied to plumbing and return lines. If there is a leak inside your system, it will create air bubbles or in the case of saturated water, gurgling noises which can be followed using specialized listening equipment. Dye tests, on the other hand are more appropriate for structural leaks. This process involves turning off the pool pump and placing coloured dyes into pool water. Dye weighs more than pool water so they are more readily sucked into the vacuum created by a leak. This means issues can be tracked visually.

Victoria Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drain my pool into a storm drain in Victoria?
Under the City of Victoria Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Utilities Bylaw 14-071, pool or hot tub water containing residual chlorine, chloramine, bromine or chloride is prohibited waste and cannot go to a municipal stormwater system or watercourse. The bylaw also prohibits discharges at 18 C or warmer or with a pH below 6.5 or above 9.0. Confirm with the City before draining.
Can I fill my pool during water restrictions in Victoria?
The CRD Water Conservation Bylaw applies to Victoria, with Stage 1 running every year May 1 to September 30 and allowing pools and hot tubs to be filled. Stage 3 prohibits filling a swimming pool, hot tub, wading pool or garden pond. The bylaw treats filling as filling an empty or substantially empty pool, so topping up a pool that was full and operating when restrictions began is not covered.
How much water can a Victoria pool lose to evaporation?
The CRD watering schedule page says an uncovered swimming pool can lose up to one inch of water a week and suggests covering water features to limit evaporation. If a pool drops noticeably faster than that, a leak check is a sensible next step.
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.
Awesome service. Nicole and Brian take so much of our pool maintenance of our hands and the pool always looks great. We also used them to power wash our driveway and the outcome was fantastic. Our driveway looked like new. I highly recommend using Puddle for pool and power washing services.
Great work and excellent customer service.
Absolutely an amazing company. Nicole is very knowledgable and thorough in pool cleaning. They are our pool company always!!!
Brian is the best pool service person I have found in the Okanagan.
Puddles was awesome! Brian showed us exactly what to do to keep our hot tub healthy, he gave us confidence with his fantastic instructions!
Great to work with, on time and great service! Would defiantly recommend this team to anyone!

Just bought a house with an inground pool and the people that lived here before me didn't take care of it at all. The water was dark green with black mold and tons of leaves. You couldn't even see the bottom of the pool. Puddle came in and now it looks like new. It took a few days but it was well worth it.
