Where is all this water going? The same place it does when it rains, into the ground. Unfortunately in time this water flow can undermine your pool deck and cause structural problems that can eat deeply into your pocketbook. In a vinyl pool an unrepaired leak can wash out the sand or vermiculite under the liner. Sometimes it can turn into an unrepairable problem if ignored for any length of time. Just refilling the pool continually because you have well water or can afford it is not a good idea. A concrete pool can actually rise and float out of the ground when it becomes empty because of a high water table.

How can that small hole cause me to lose all that water?

A hole that a pen can be stuck in can easily account for a loss of two inches a day. Several holes much smaller than that can account for much more of a water loss. Also a liner pool with holes that are not visible to the eye can leak through the material. After years of chemical exposure, ultraviolet light and fluctuating PH the vinyl material breaks down and becomes porous. A liner in this condition can lose a significant amount of water everyday. As the liner weakens with age the amount of force used to clean the liner can be enough to puncture the material. If care is taken when vacuuming or brushing the pool this type of damage can be avoided.

How leak detection works: Before calling us please perform the basic checks.

Vinyl Liners:

We use an electronic device that has been manufactured specifically for underwater leak detection. These sophisticated devices put a small electrical charge into the pool water. This charge seeks to make a connection to the ground. Since the pool liner is a good electrical insulator, the only ground connections are through penetrations in the liner. The device detects electrical current flow in the water as it seeks these ground connections, and produces audible signals that lead the operator to the exact location of the leak.

Concrete Pools:

Our pool technicians use state of the art equipment to find and pin point your leaks.

We carefully check the whole pool using a Hydrophone to identify possible leak locations. A dye tester is used to confirm and pin point the leak.

Once the leaks have been identified our trained staff will repair the leaks. You can rest assured that the leaks have been properly and expertly fixed.

Pressure Testing:

We use a combination of air and water to pressurize your lines. We then utilize a sonic listening device

to check for leaks. This device will put us to within 18 to 24 inches of the leak. What this means to you?

This allows us to locate the leak quickly without digging or cutting up your deck pad.
