Pool Leak Detection

SONAR LISTENING DEVICES

A specialized tool that resembles a metal detector you might see someone using at the beach, these devices use sonar technology, just like U.S. Navy submarines, to detect levels of movement with water. Using a commercial grade sonar listening device is important in providing truly professional, accurate, and comprehensive leak detection.

DIVE DYE TESTS

We dive in the pool and use dye to detect leaks. This may sound simple enough, but is a process that benefits significantly from training and experience.

PRESSURE TESTING

Plumbing lines are generally pressure tested for 30 minutes at approximately 20 pounds per square inch. This part of the process is useful to locate where in a plumbing system a leak may be occurring. This is a very important step that many other companies skip over.

MINOR REPAIRS INCLUDED

For the (regretfully rare) situations where a small patch, in certain areas such as a light niche or around a pipe where it enters the pool, can resolve the leak, we will do so at no additional charge. Note that most other companies use a material that tends not to hold, making these leaks more likely to reappear. Where additional repairs are needed, or where additional leak pinpointing service beyond the walls of the pool are needed to further assess the situation, we will provide an estimate to perform necessary repairs or for further assessment.

STATIC TEST

This test measures the level of evaporation versus water loss through varied series of system runs to further assist is identifying leak location(s).

FIXING LEAKS ONCE WE FIND THEM

Once we have found a leak, we are well qualified to fix it, a claim that can’t be shared by many that profess to be able to find leaks. Whether the repair is a simple patch, a skimmer replacement, a line replacement, or something else, our highly trained, licensed, and insured professionals are highly qualified to repair your pool correctly the first time.
