High Tech Leak Detection
We use advanced equipment with the newest technology to detect and locate your pool’s leak.
At Net Positive Pools, we use the newest modern tools and technology to locate leaks without unnecessary digging or damage. Our professional pool leak detection process relies on sonic listening devices that help pinpoint the exact location of the leak.
Sonic testing allows us to hear the sound of water escaping from underground plumbing or behind pool walls. We also use dye test methods around common leak areas like the pool light, skimmer, fittings, and vinyl pool liner seams. This thorough inspection approach allows our leak detection specialists to accurately locate small leaks with accuracy for faster repair services and less disruption to your yard.
Preparing for Leak Detection Tests
A little preparation helps us perform accurate leak detection and saves time during your appointment. Before our team arrives, we recommend the following steps:
- Keep the water level at normal height so we can test areas like the tile line, pool wall, skimmer, and plumbing lines
- Vacuum the pool and remove debris to improve the accuracy of dye test results
- Avoid cloudy or dirty water so testing tools function properly
These steps help us move quickly and reduce the chance of missing a suspected leak. Proper preparation also helps prevent added water loss while testing takes place.
Signs You Might Have a Pool Leak
Not all swimming pool leaks are obvious. Some develop slowly and show subtle signs that are easy to miss. Watch for these common warning signs:
- Unexplained water loss or drop in water level
- Wet or soggy areas near the pool deck or yard
- Air bubbles entering the pool pump or return lines
- Algae growth or unstable chemical levels
- A noticeable increase in water bill prices
