LEAK
DETECTION
There is a whole range of possible causes for leaks in swimming pools and they can vary depending on the pool type.
POOL
REPAIRS
We repair concrete, fibreglass and vinyl pools either residential or commercial. We also repair spas and water features.
If you’re a pool builder or owner builder and going to have a plumbing leak or bad connection to your pool, spa or water feature, it’s nice to know before you have completed the landscaping, paving & paths. It’s a small price to pay and can help protect you in case of future litigation in determining who is responsible for such problems.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A LEAK
If uncertain that your water loss is due to a leak or evaporation we suggest you first do an evaporation assessment bucket test. Fill a bucket or ice-cream container with pool water to within 50mm of the top and place near the pool in a similar environment (i.e. sun, wind etc or preferably on a pool step)
MARK THE WATERLINE IN THE BUCKET & POOL WITH A TEXTER.
Operate normally for approx 24 hours then measure the loss in both. The difference between the two water levels is due to a leak. * * If no difference, you have no leak. For best results it’s better if the pool is not used for swimming during this period.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
Prices for leak detection can vary considerably because of the variables involved. It is however much cheaper than the continuous re-filling of pool water, chemicals and salt.
RELAX, IT MAY NOT BE AS BAD AS YOU THINK!
Leak detection is a highly specialised field using sophisticated equipment and highly trained technicians to locate most leaks with little disruption to your paving, landscaping etc. Often relatively simple repairs can be made during our initial visit to resolve the problem.
DID YOU KNOW?
You could be losing the equivalent of a pool full of water every year, which could easily be 50,000 litres of water that has to be paid for. Leaks generally become worse and if not detected and resolved may undermine the pool’s sand base and foundations.
MUST I BE HOME?
There is no need for anyone to be present, provided we have access to do the job. We will phone you for credit card payment when the detection is complete.
