How Leak Detection Works in White Rock
White Rock might be a seaside town but that doesn’t mean pools aren’t highly sought after. Having an accessible swim space at home is great while any business would benefit from a clean and inviting swimming pool. Swimming pools are amazing additions to any property until they start to leak! Leaks are common problems in pools and fixing these issues can be incredibly complicated. Professional White Rock pool leak detection services are able to identify leaks, diagnose the source of the leak you are dealing with and isolate problem areas for repairs.
Unlike a leaky faucet, even a pinhole leak in a swimming pool will lead to severe water loss. The average pool holds thousands of gallons of water at any given time so even a tiny hole means consistent water loss — and that water has to go somewhere! Underground leaks cause shifting soil which can put weight on sensitive areas of structures. Leaking water systems will also drive up water bills and put strain on water systems and internal components that will lead to unnecessary wear and tear and the need for premature repairs and replacements.
Leak Detection in Pools: What to Watch Out For
The most obvious sign that your pool is leaking is a drop in water level. As a pool owner, you have likely noticed that your water levels will fluctuate. It is easy to see this and assume that you are dealing with a leak but this isn’t always the case. High temperatures will cause increased evaporation rates. If there are plenty of people hopping in and out of your swimming pool, they are carrying water out with them. This will often result in losing several inches of pool water, often as much as 3-5 inches over the course of a week. Any more than that over the course of a week or if you find yourself having to refill pools on a daily basis and it is time to call an expert.
Other signs that you are dealing with water loss are saturated soil, puddles forming around lawns and higher utility and water bills. The goal of leak detection and repair is to solve water loss issues but you can’t do that until you are able to locate the leak. You might notice sitting water but trying to decipher where it is coming from is a difficult process. Luckily, local Puddle Pros have all of the necessary tools and techniques to track down water leaks, determine what type of water leak you are dealing with and isolate the pain points.
A pressure test will determine if you are dealing with a plumbing leak. This is accomplished by applying a steady stream of air flow to plumbing and water lines. If there is a crack, you will begin to notice air bubbles forming or hear gurgling sounds coming up from saturated soils. Even if sounds are faint, specialized listening equipment can be used to track these noises. Dye tests are the preferred method of identifying structural leaks. This test involves turning off pool pumps so water sits still. From here, strategically placed dyes will be pulled into any existing cracks or tears in a vinyl liner.
Puddle Pool Services: The Best in Swimming Pool Leak Detection
For any Canadian, pool leak detection is a necessary process, particularly when there is a chill in the air. Waiting too long to close your pool can result in damaged lines and breakage to internal water systems which will lead to even worse leaks and flooding. You often can’t go from detection to repair in as little as 24 hours but the quicker you act, the faster you will be able to solve your issues.
Each member of the Puddle team is highly trained, experienced and fully insured to provide peace of mind as well as great results. By offering options for leak detection, inspections, routine cleaning programs and more, Puddle clients know that their pool is always in good hands.
White Rock Leak Detection: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I refill my pool during watering restrictions in White Rock?
White Rock runs its own four stage watering restrictions rather than the Metro Vancouver stages, in effect every year May 1 to October 15 with Stage 1 automatic on May 1. Stage 3 prohibits refilling swimming pools; Stage 4 also prohibits refilling hot tubs, garden ponds and ornamental fountains. Check the City posted stage before refilling in summer.
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.
Can a hot tub or spa leak be detected the same way?
Yes. Spas and hot tubs have plumbing, jets and fittings that can leak just like a pool. The same testing approach applies, adapted to the spa's equipment.
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.
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.
