A pool leak can be a frustrating and costly problem for any pool owner. Pool leaks not only waste valuable water and increase your monthly utility bill, but they can also cause serious structural damage to your pool and surrounding deck if not properly addressed.  Sometimes specialized equipment and expertise is the only way to effectively find a troublesome leak.

Signs of a Pool Leak:

  1. Decreased water level: If you notice a drop in water levels, despite regular refilling, it could indicate a leak.
  2. Wet spots on the deck: Damp or wet spots on your pool deck can be a sign of a leak in the pool structure.
  3. Visible cracks in the pool: Large cracks in your pool, especially those that seem to be growing, could be a result of a leak.
  4. High water bill: A significant increase in your monthly water bill could indicate a leak in your pool.
  5. Sound of running water: If you hear the sound of running water when near your pool, it could be a sign of a leak.

Steps for Pool Leak Detection:

  1. Bucket test: Conducting a bucket test is a simple and effective way to determine if a drop in water levels is due to a leak or evaporation. Fill a bucket with water and mark the water level, then place the bucket in the pool and mark the water level again. If the water levels in both the bucket and the pool decrease at the same rate, the problem is not a leak.
  2. Dye test: To locate the source of a leak, you can perform a dye test. Add a few drops of food coloring near the suspected leak and observe for the color to spread.
  3. Hire a professional: If you are unable to identify the source of the leak or do not feel confident in repairing it yourself, consider hiring a professional pool repair service for assistance.

Fixing a Pool Leak:

  1. Pool patch or epoxy: If the leak is coming from a crack or hole in your pool, it can usually be repaired with a pool patch or epoxy.
  2. Replace damaged plumbing: If the leak is coming from damaged or broken pipes, it will be necessary to replace them.
  3. Replace the pool liner: If your pool liner is old or damaged, it may be the source of the leak. Consider replacing it to prevent future leaks and to maintain the integrity of your pool.

In conclusion, by identifying and fixing a pool leak, you can save valuable water resources, lower your monthly utility bill, and prevent costly damage to your pool and deck. If you have any questions or concerns about your pool leak then please get in touch…we’re here to help.
