Pool Leak Detection
Losing water from the pool? We find the leak — without emptying it
After a leak was detected near my driveway, Kevin very carefully jack-hammered through and found the leaking pipe. He removed the pipe, replaced it with a new one, cemented over it and very neatly finished the surface. Kevin is an excellent plumber and problem solver — I would recommend him for any plumbing job.
Pool Leak Detection
A pool that drops more than the usual evaporation is losing water somewhere, and it is rarely obvious from the surface. The three usual culprits are the underground pool plumbing, the shell itself, and the skimmer box.
We pressure test the pool plumbing to work out whether the suction and return lines are holding, use dye testing to trace leaks in the shell and around fittings, and check the skimmer and its connections — a very common failure point that gets missed.
None of it requires emptying the pool, which matters: draining a pool is expensive, it wastes a lot of water, and an empty fibreglass or concrete shell can move or crack.
Once we know where the leak is, we can talk through the repair. Same-day appointments are usually available across the Sunshine Coast.
What's involved
We pressure test the suction and return lines to find out whether the underground pipework is holding — and where it isn't.
Dye testing traces cracks and failures in the shell, around lights, steps and fittings.
A very common leak point, and one that is easy to miss. We check the box and every connection into it.
We work with the pool full. Draining is costly, wasteful, and can damage the shell.
Zero financial risk. If we can't locate your leak, your invoice is zero. We back our work with this guarantee because we're that confident in our process and our equipment.
