What Is Included in a Pool Leak Detection Service?

What a Full Evaluation Covers

Pool leak detection at LSL is a systematic evaluation of the entire pool system. What we use depends on what the pool is telling us - but here is what the evaluation typically involves:

Underwater inspection covers the pool shell, tile line, fittings, drains, lights, and spa area. Our proprietary dye testing method - developed specifically for finding the smallest and hardest leaks - is applied at all suspect areas. Pipe testing pressurizes accessible plumbing lines and water features where plugs can be installed. Acoustic listening with professional hydrophones and ground microphones is used to evaluate underground lines when symptoms point that way. Trace gas is available as a specialized backup when acoustic methods need confirmation.

We also look at the equipment pad - pump, filter, heater, valves, connections - and document any relevant conditions there.

At the end of the evaluation, you receive a written report with photos. The report explains what was confirmed, what was suspected, what was tested, what could not be tested, and what the recommended next step is.

The purpose is to evaluate the pool as a system and give you a clear, documented answer - not to check one thing and leave.
