Leak Detection and Scuba Diving Service

Our divers locate and repair troublesome leaks found in drains, liners, plumbing, light niches, filtration equipment and structural cracks.

Symptoms of Leaking Pools

Air Bubbles
A suction side plumbing leak will introduce bubbles of air into the filtration system. You may notice your pump operating at a weaker prime.
Recent Construction
Modifications to your pool may cause underground components to shift and crack. As PVC ages, it becomes more brittle due to climate change and corrosion from chemicals.
Saturated Soil
You may find that sections of your yard are constantly wet as well as cracks and shifting in your pool deck.
Visible Damage
Cracks in the pool shell, plumbing or filtration equipment can allow water to escape, eventually damaging the surrounding structure.
Water Loss
Your pool naturally loses roughly 1/4″ of water each day due to evaporation, wind and humidity conditions. You can determine if your pool is leaking by performing a bucket test, comparing the loss of water in the bucket to that of the pool.

Bucket Test

Place a 5 gallon bucket on the top step of your pool and fill it up to the same level as the water inside the pool. Refrain from swimming and backwashing until your test is complete. Observe the bucket over the next 2 days to make sure both levels remain the same. Should the water in the pool drop lower than the water in the bucket, the pool is leaking.
