Our advanced methods

We utilize the latest technology and proven techniques to provide a comprehensive and effective pool leak detection strategy. By combining multiple detection methods, we ensure no leak goes undetected. Our approach is designed to safeguard your pool’s integrity and reduce long-term repair costs.

Our leak detection methods include:

Acoustic and hydrophone leak detection

We use highly sensitive equipment to detect the unique sound of water escaping under pressure. This method allows us to pinpoint leaks in underground plumbing and pool structures.

Pressure testing

By assessing the pressure levels in pool plumbing lines, we identify inconsistencies that indicate the presence of leaks.

Tracer gas detection

A safe, non-toxic gas is introduced into the plumbing system, allowing us to detect leaks with high precision as the gas escapes through any openings.

Dye testing

A specialized dye is introduced to the pool water to trace the movement of water in cracks or around fittings, highlighting potential leak points.

Every swimming pool leak detection service includes a comprehensive report with photographic evidence and detailed findings. This documentation is approved for insurance claims and provides clear insight into necessary repairs.

Signs that you may require our services

Identifying a pool leak early can help you avoid costly damage. Here are key indicators that your pool may be leaking:

  • Unexplained high-water bills: If your water bill has suddenly increased, it could be due to a hidden leak. Automatic pool fillers can mask water loss but contribute to rising costs.
  • Rapid water level drop: A pool that loses more than 6mm of water daily (without a cover) is likely experiencing a leak. Conduct a “bucket test” to determine if water loss is due to evaporation or a leak.
  • Excessive algae growth: Continuous water loss can disrupt chemical balances, leading to persistent algae problems.
  • Wet or soggy areas around the pool: Damp spots near your pool, unexpected, lush grass growth, or eroded soil can indicate underground plumbing leaks.
  • Cracks or gaps in the pool structure: Small cracks in the pool shell, tiles, or coping can allow water to escape over time.
  • Air in the pool system: Bubbles from return jets or gurgling sounds from the pump suggest a suction-side leak.
  • Pool equipment leaks: Dampness around pool pumps, filters, heaters, or solar systems may indicate slow leaks.
  • Shifting or sinking pool deck: If pavers or tiles around your pool are sinking or cracking, it could be due to water eroding the soil beneath them.
