Benefits of Pinpoint Leak Detection

✔ Lower repair costs – Only a small section of concrete or decking needs to be opened to fix the issue.
✔ Less damage to your property – Avoid unnecessary demolition of large areas.
✔ Faster repairs – Knowing exactly where the leak is located allows repairs to be completed quicker.
✔ Protect your pool structure – Early detection prevents long-term damage to plumbing, equipment, and surrounding structures.
Visual Inspection
We begin with a thorough visual inspection of the pool equipment, plumbing, and surrounding areas. Many leaks can be identified through visible signs such as cracked fittings, loose connections, or worn equipment components.
Dye testing
If the leak cannot be located during the visual inspection, we perform a dye test. This method allows us to visually track the movement of dye toward small cracks or openings where water is escaping.
Electronic Leak Detection
If the leak is not visible through dye testing, we use high-tech leak detection equipment, including sensitive microphones that allow us to hear water escaping from underground pipes. Even small leaks create distinct sounds that specialized equipment can detect.
Pressure Testing
We also use pipe isolation and pressure testing techniques. By sealing sections of plumbing and pressurizing the lines with water or air, we can determine exactly which pipe or section of plumbing contains the leak.Once the leaking section is identified, we narrow down the location to a very small area so repairs can be completed with minimal disruption
