What Happens During a Pool Leak Detection

May 15, 2024

Pool leaks can be an expensive problem. Over time, they can waste thousands of gallons of water, which can translate to hundreds or even thousands of dollars! Pool leaks can also cause structural damage to the pool. Left unattended, leaks can ruin your landscaping and even threaten the integrity of your home’s foundation. That is why It is essential to have professionals thoroughly inspect your pool if you suspect a leak.

Checking for a pool leak means examining three core elements—equipment, structure, and plumbing. Even if there is an evident leak in one of those areas, our leak detection team may inspect other areas as well (depending on the symptoms).

Looking at the pool equipment is our first step. Faulty equipment or leaks in connections from the plumbing to pool equipment are not uncommon. A detected leak can indicate the need to replace or repair pool equipment.

Plumbing leaks can be a nightmare! While it is easy to visually inspect the above-ground plumbing, most pool leaks in the plumbing are underground. Atlantic Pool Leak can identify a plumbing leak and then pinpoint its location. Pinpointing the location of a broken pipe is a vital part of the process because repairing a bad section of pipe is way less costly and less invasive than replacing an entire plumbing line.

Leaks also occur within the pool’s structure. To find those leaks, the technicians need to inspect the surface of the pool. That means going into the pool with scuba gear and inspecting every inch of the structure. If the inspection reveals leaks, they can be large or small. Technicians are usually able to fix small leaks during the leak detection process.
