Our Leak Detection Process

At Schiedenhelm Pool Services, we use state-of-the-art technology and proven techniques to locate pool leaks with precision. Our leak detection process is thorough and efficient, ensuring that no leak goes undetected. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Visual Inspection: We start with a detailed visual inspection of the pool, checking for obvious signs of damage or leaks in the structure, plumbing, and equipment.
  • Pressure Testing: To detect leaks in your pool’s plumbing, we use pressure testing methods to identify potential weak points in the lines.
  • Electronic Listening Devices: Our technicians use advanced electronic listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping from cracks, pipes, or fittings.
  • Dye Testing: If we suspect a structural leak, we use specialized dyes to trace water movement and confirm the exact location of the leak.

Once we’ve identified the source of the leak, we’ll provide you with a detailed report and discuss the best course of action for repairs.

Signs You Might Have a Pool Leak

Not all pool leaks are obvious. Sometimes, the signs are subtle but can still indicate an issue that needs attention. Here are some common indicators that your pool may have a leak:

Unexplained Water Loss:

 If you’re adding water to your pool more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of a leak.

Increased Water Bills: 

A spike in your water bill could suggest a hidden pool leak.

Wet Spots Around the Pool:

Soggy or damp spots around the pool area, especially where there shouldn’t be any water, might indicate a leak.

Air in the Pump:

If you notice air bubbles coming out of the return jets, it could be due to a leak in the system.

Algae Growth:

Unusual algae growth can sometimes point to imbalanced water chemistry caused by a leak.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to have a professional inspect your pool as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

Why Pool Leaks Shouldn’t Be Ignored

A small pool leak may seem harmless at first, but over time, even a minor leak can lead to significant damage to your pool and surrounding areas. Unrepaired leaks can result in:

  • Structural Damage: Water seeping into the ground can erode the soil under your pool, causing cracks or sinking.
  • Increased Chemical Use: A leaking pool can throw off your water’s chemical balance, requiring more frequent adjustments and higher chemical costs.
  • Elevated Utility Bills: Constantly refilling your pool can lead to higher water bills, and if the leak is affecting your pool equipment, it could cause energy costs to rise as well.

Addressing leaks early helps prevent these costly issues and ensures your pool remains in great shape.
