Leak Detection & Repairs, Pine Hills FLOur technicians begin by conducting an initial assessment to determine if there is a suspected leak in your pool. They visually inspect the pool and its surrounding areas, checking for any visible signs of leaks such as wet spots, cracks, or water loss. They also assess the water level over a period to identify any significant fluctuations.
If there is suspicion of a leak, our technicians conduct a water loss analysis. They measure the rate of water loss by performing a bucket test or utilizing specialized equipment. This helps determine the severity and potential location of the leak. Our technicians may perform pressure testing to pinpoint the location of the leak. They use specialized tools and techniques to pressurize the plumbing lines, skimmer, return jets, and other components of the pool system. By monitoring the pressure levels and observing any drops, they can identify areas of potential leakage. If the leak location is difficult to identify, our technicians may utilize dye testing. They introduce a non-toxic dye into the suspected areas, such as cracks or around fittings, and observe if the dye is drawn into the leak. This method helps confirm the presence and location of the leak. In more complex cases or for hard-to-detect leaks, our technicians may employ electronic leak detection equipment. This method involves using specialized devices to locate leaks by detecting changes in electrical currents or vibrations caused by water escaping through cracks or openings. Once the leak has been identified, our technicians will discuss the repair options with you. The specific repair method will depend on the location, severity, and type of leak. Common repair techniques include patching cracks, sealing fittings or plumbing connections, replacing damaged pipes, or repairing the pool shell. Our technicians are skilled in the necessary repair techniques and will ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out effectively. After the repairs are completed, our technicians will conduct follow-up testing to confirm that the leak has been resolved. They may repeat the water loss analysis, pressure testing, or dye testing to verify that the pool is no longer losing water and that the repairs have been successful. Our technicians will provide you with maintenance recommendations to help prevent future leaks and ensure the long-term integrity of your pool. This may include regular inspections, prompt repair of any minor issues, and appropriate maintenance of the pool's plumbing and equipment.
