Prevent structural impairments and costly damage.
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
- Fill Bucket
Fill an empty bucket roughly half way to two-thirds full with pool water. Make sure no swimmers enter the pool beyond this point until you are finished with the test. - Place and Mark
Place the bucket on the first or second step of your pool and draw a line marking the water level inside the bucket as well as the water level inside the pool. - Record Data
Every 24 hours, measure and record the water loss in the bucket to that of the pool. - Results
If the water loss in the pool exceeds the water loss in the bucket, the pool is losing water due to a leak. For example, if the water level in the bucket drops 1 inch and the water level in the pool drops 2 inches, the pool has a leak. This test is designed to rule out evaporation as a factor.
