How do we find leaks in a pool?

Our team uses years of experience and specialized equipment to locate hard to find leaks in a pool:

Pool Return & Suction lines: We pressure test all the pool lines to determine if there is a leak on any of the pipes buried underground. If the pressure test shows a leak -utilizing special listening equipment, we can locate the unique sound water leaking out of a pipe creates. We use special cameras to visually inspect lines and locating equipment to find exactly where the camera is located underground. This gives us the ability to accurately locate a leak and minimize the potential damage to your pool deck or yard during a repair.

Vinyl Liners: Using our equipment we can scan the entire vinyl liner. This equipment is so sensitive that we can leaks as small as a pinhead. We are then able to patch those holes to eliminate the leaks during our visit.

Structural elements: This part usually involves getting wet! Our technician will examine all elements on the pool that could be causing a leak – this includes light fixtures, fittings, tiles, skimmers, and bottom drains. Using leak dye, we can test these areas and look for signs of a leak – the dye will be sucked into the leak showing us exactly the area of concern. Many of these structural issues can be fixed by our technician during the visit.

How do we find leaks in plumbing?

Our team uses years of experience and specialized equipment to locate hard to find leaks.

Water lines: Using our specialized equipment we can locate the unique sound created when water is leaking out of a pressurized line. This allows us to accurately locate the leak and minimize the damage done to your home or yard during the plumbing repair. This process works for slab leaks, water main leaks and many others.

Cause & Origin: These are leaks that seem to appear from no-where and have no easily identifiable cause. We are able test the water lines for leaks and examine any other items that could be causing the water damage. Cause & Origin leaks could be caused by a leak on the water lines or drain lines but can also be caused by things such as structural issues such as bad shower grout or AC condensation lines. These leaks can also be caused by ground water – our inspection can help eliminate all possible sources of the leak so you can make a more informed decision on how to proceed. Insurance companies will also hire us to identify the cause of leaks for insurance claims in a home.

Our Client Reviews

We had a massive leak in our waterline that they were able to locate in an hour and a half. We didn’t even know where the waterline was located, but they found it quickly. The water was blasting under a tree and we never would have found the leak without them. They saved us a lot of money because we thought we’d need a new waterline since we couldn’t find the leak. I’d highly recommend them if you’re in the same situation!

Having exhausted my efforts in locating a small leak in a main irrigation line I called Upstate Leak Finders for my client. They were very professional and knowledgeable on the phone. They booked an appointment the next day (New Years Eve) and I received a confirmation text and email for my appointment. Tyler arrived on time and went to work. In less than an hour he was able to locate the leak and I was able to make the repair for our client.

Tyler has helped me 2 times now and he is worth every penny. We are fighting a very complex water system with numerous twist and turns. Water lines are from the seventies until last year. To replace everything would not be cheap nor needed if this property sells. I recommend him and will certainly use him in the future. Its rare to find someone that does what he says and can back it up with being within a couple of inches of the leak , which is over 2 feet underground.

Excellent work! We use them all the time and we are beyond satisfied with their work! Tyler is a true professional and they are the best in the business at what they do. We recommend them 10/10 times, including to our customers. When you use them you know you’re getting the job done right and the follow ups they provide are very detailed so you know exactly what is going on!

Tyler is my hero! Our pool has been losing water and salt for about 8 weeks. I filled out the online request and got a call right away from Nicole. She was super helpful getting me scheduled. Tyler was able to come out the next day. He located the source of the leak right away. He also did an extremely thorough job checking every aspect of our pool for issues. He was able to get my skimmer crack repaired. Great communication, very friendly, and professional.

Why is it important to locate a leak?

1. Cost of Water Bills

We all know water isn’t a free, and as it becomes scarcer and harder to get the price is going up and up. Therefore, it is so in important to make sure that water being paid for is not being wasted. By hiring a professional to come in and carry out water leak detection in a home or business, big money can be saved in the long term.

2. Water Safety

Simply having a water supply isn’t enough. It’s necessary to know that that water supply is safe for family members or any employees to use. If the water supply pipes are leaking, it can be that contaminants are getting into the water that people drinking or using for other purposes. Also, if wastewater pipes are leaking it can be contaminating the entire property. Professional water leak detection can give owners peace of mind.

3. The Cost of Delay

One of the problems that result from not dealing with water leaks early is that the consequences can be even more expensive later on. A limited amount of damage can grow to a great deal more if undetected. Water leak detection allows homeowners and businesses to quickly repair a problem before it gets out of hand, saving a great deal of trouble and expense later.

4. Damage to Other Property

Water leaks can do more than just waste water. Over time, a leak in the ground can cause significant damage to the foundation of a home or building, increase moisture within the structure and encourage the growth of mold and other infestations. All these problems could prove to be very expensive to solve. In addition, breaks from water mains can result in damage to other buildings or to entire neighborhoods, which places the responsible party at considerable financial liability for any property loss. A determined effort toward water leak detection can help to mitigate the possibility of these disasters happening.

5. Maximizing Usage

One significant benefit that communities get from water leak detection is that they can achieve the maximum benefit from their current water supply system. Consequently, they can delay implementing further expansions and additions to that system until they are actually needed.
