Leak
Detection & Repairs

Pools are designed to be watertight, but sealants can degrade, and other components may shift, settle, or wear out. Leaks can occur at fittings, in the plumbing, or even through the shell. Repairing leaks is essential not only to conserve water, heat, and chemicals but also to protect structural elements and surrounding fill dirt. By utilizing advanced electronic leak-detection technology, Pool Geek has surpassed traditional, slower methods such as dye tests, divers, or air-pressure tests. We can detect leak sounds with submersible, waterproof microphones. Every pool leak generates an underwater acoustic signature that we can locate and monitor with our listening equipment. Once a leak is found, we provide a thorough report to the homeowner or commercial client before any deck demolition or pipe work begins. Pool Geek may offer cost-efficient repair options that minimize major damage to decks or walls.

 

Leak Detection Procedures We Follow:

- Confirm the presence of a leak

- Determine the size of the leak

- Identify the nature of the leak (pool shell, underground piping, or filtration system)

 

Testing Options:

- Pressure testing of underground piping to identify failed lines and pinpoint leak locations

- Acoustic/sonar testing of underground piping to locate and pinpoint leaks

- SCUBA diving to locate and verify pool-shell leaks

 

Repair Options:

- Underwater vinyl patching

- Underwater epoxy sealing

- Deck cutting with a diamond saw to access underground piping, followed by pipe repair and re-cementing the deck

 

Pool Geek has 15 years of experience in finding and repairing all types of leaks. Whether the issue lies with an underground pipe beneath a concrete deck, a hole in the liner, or a failed light conduit, we have the high-tech tools and expertise to resolve your leaking problems quickly and efficiently.
