Dont know if your swimming pool has a leak?

Most Pools losing more than ¼” a day are probably losing more than what could be attributed to evaporation.

  • Sinkholes, settlement of the ground, cement patio cracking, brick pavers settling, pavement or deck settlement.
  • Cloudy water, constantly adding chemicals or salt imbalance (or dilution due to re-filling) when analyzing pool water
  • Air bubbles in the pump ( or priming problems) typically being brought in by the suction side (main or skimmers) piping & being discharged out the returns (or jets).
  • Wet or soggy areas around the Pool or even at the Equipment pad. (These leaks that are readily visible can be repaired by your general pool service contractor)
  • Your water is colder than it should be because you are always adding more water - possibly with an Auto-water fill.
  • Dimples / divits / damage in a liner getting larger due to the erosion of the ground below a hole or tear in the liner.
  • Increased water bills, Increase in algae buildup

Sometimes extensive water loss can be seen with high tempertures &/or wind exposure or even heating the pool (especially if the exterior temperature is much cooler at night for example)

WHY ARE WE 1 OF LONG ISLAND'S BEST?

  • If we can't find it we don't charge - no matter how long it takes us.
  • No hourly charges for Leak Detection we charge flat rates
  • Owner has 24 years Leak experience with Long Island Pools.
  • We don't claim to be experts at all pool services - we only do Leak Detecting!
  • We do both - diving/repairs underwater & pinpoint underground pipe Leaks.

WILL A SIMPLE PIPE PRESURE TEST DO THE JOB?

In most cases NO! it's generally only the 1st step in the pipe testing process.

Be leery of any company that will just offer a pressure test of the Pool Piping/Plumbing & just simply tell you what line is Leaking (PROBABLY 75% OF THE TIME WE CAN DO THAT ON THE PHONE - as long as you can tell us if you lose more with the pump running or off.) Of course if you are just planning to replace a line (not pinpoint the spot of the leak) then you can certainly go with the simple pressure test.

After the pressure test we take the Detection process a little further. Using some of the best electronic equipment, we find the loudest sounds of water flowing, which is typically where the pipe Leak is. We also using helium detectors to help locate the pipe leaks. Usually we can find the suspected leak location, where it would be a relatively close enough for your pool company to see it, when they dig the area up and perform the needed repair.

LEAK TESTS - FOR LONG ISLAND'S POOLS

That helps us determine where to start looking for the leak which reduces our time spent on the leak detection. Its a Its a question of whether an underwater inspection by a diver is required for the inside the pool or a pressure test is needed.

POOL PUMP ON OR OFF - LEAK TEST:

Losing more either with the pump running or with the pump off indicates a pipe Leak. In other words does the pump affect your water loss.The first step if you suspect a pipe leak is to do a pressure test. If losing the same amount of water (on or off) points to an inside the pool Leak, & you would need a diver.

OTHER LEAK TESTS

Plug the pipes (turn off the pool pump(s)) and see if you still lose water.

or just run off the main drain (if there is one) by shutting off the skimmer valve(s) typically at the front of the pump and see if you still lose water.

OTHER LEAK QUESTIONS

  • Does the pool stop losing water at a certain level?
  • Did you lose water in the off season when the pool was closed?
  • Did you have the leak last year?

In our experience in many cases even though those other companies advertise Leak Detection, many are JUST INTERESTED IN THE HIGHER $ VALUE SERVICES LIKE RE-PIPING OR NEW LINER INSTALLS. In many cases they don't give a 100% in attempting to locate a Pool Leak.

WHY DO LONG ISLAND'S POOLS LEAK

  1. Not properly blowing out the Plumbing Lines / Winterization.
  2. Freeze leading to ground settlement & pipe damage.
  3. Termites eating thru flexible PVC piping or Pool Liners
  4. Brushing or a robot causing Liner damage, improper chemical usage accelerating a Liner's deterioration.
  5. Gunite/Concrete Pools having cracks that can Leak.
  6. Pool Plumbing Leaks can also be caused by tree roots, failure at Joints, fittings or couplings, old age, improper chemical usage (chlorine dropped in skimmer baskets etc.), manufacturing defects/poor construction techniques, waste/backwash line Leaking or damage due to an extensive freeze.
