How We Detect Pool Leaks

Pool leaks can occur in plumbing lines, equipment, fittings, or even through cracks in the pool shell. Our expert technicians use a combination of advanced tools, proven techniques, and hands-on expertise to locate the source of the leak with precision—no guesswork involved.

Step-by-Step Leak Detection Process:

• System Pressurization: We begin by isolating and pressurizing different sections of your pool’s plumbing system with air. Using sensitive listening devices and pressure gauges, we’re able to hear and measure air escaping through even the smallest leak in underground pipes.

• Underwater Leak Inspection: Our scuba-certified technician conducts a full dive inspection of the pool shell, using dye testing to examine main drains, return fittings, skimmer throats, lights, and cracks. This allows us to identify leaks that are invisible from above.

• Water Feature & Spa Testing: If you have water features or a connected spa, we test those systems individually. Many of these features lack proper isolation valves, and may require temporary plumbing modifications to pressurize and test correctly. Additional charges may apply for these complex systems.

• Electronic Water Loss Monitoring: We utilize high-precision electronic equipment placed at the waterline to detect minute fluctuations in water level. These measurements help us determine how much water is being lost over a 24-hour period—before and after repairs—so you know exactly where you stand.

Why Leak Detection Matters

Ignoring a pool leak can lead to more than just higher water bills. Over time, leaks can damage your pool’s foundation, surrounding deck, landscaping, and even your home’s structure. Timely detection protects your investment and ensures your pool remains safe, efficient, and ready to enjoy.
