You should hire a company that specializes in pool leaks because leak detection is its own trade.
A general pool contractor may know how to build, remodel, or repair pools. A pool service company may know how to clean and maintain pools. Those are important skills, but they are not the same as finding where water is escaping.
Pool leak detection is more like an investigation. You have to understand how water loss behaves, how the pool plumbing is built, how skimmers fail, how lights leak, how fittings leak, how a spa can drain down, and how the system changes when the pump is on or off.
What a Specialist Brings
- Diving the pool when conditions allow
- Dye testing with a proprietary technique
- Pressure testing plumbing lines
- Acoustic listening equipment
- Trace gas when needed
- Written documentation with photos
- A systematic process instead of a guess
At Leak and Subsurface Locators, pool leak detection is not a side service. It is what we do. We look at the pool as a complete system and try to give the customer a clear answer before repair money is spent.
