We use a range of non-invasive leak detection methods, including:
- Electronic leak detection equipment

These advanced techniques allow us to locate leaks in pool plumbing, return lines, suction lines, skimmer boxes, pool shells and surrounding underground services.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if my pool has a leak?
If your pool requires frequent topping up, loses more water than expected through evaporation, has wet areas around the pool, or your water bills have increased unexpectedly, you may have a leak. A professional inspection can determine the exact cause.
2. Can you find pool leaks without digging?
Yes. We use advanced non-invasive leak detection equipment to locate leaks in pool plumbing, underground pipes and pool structures without unnecessary excavation or damage.
3. Where do swimming pools commonly leak?
Pool leaks commonly occur in underground pipework, return lines, suction lines, skimmer boxes, pool lights, filtration equipment, expansion joints and cracks in the pool shell. Our specialised equipment helps accurately identify the source.
4. Is losing water always a sign of a leak?
Not necessarily. All pools lose some water through evaporation, particularly during hot or windy weather. However, if your pool is losing significantly more water than normal, it should be professionally inspected for leaks.
5. Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. We provide detailed leak detection reports outlining the location of the leak, testing methods used, findings and recommendations. These reports can assist insurers, pool repair specialists and licensed plumbers during the repair process.
