Owning your own swimming pool is perhaps one of the best investments any property owner can make. The pleasure and convenience of taking a swim whenever you want is the height of luxury, which is why more and more people are investing in a pool every year. The only problem with having your own pool is that it is almost inevitable at some point that it will develop a leak, or water leaks! That is why it is always a smart idea to have a specialist leak detection company such as ADI Leak Detection, Reading stored in your speed dial for when disaster strikes.

How do i know my pool has a leak?

One of the most popular questions we get asked is how do I know if my pool has a leak? The straightforward answer is if you suspect you have a leak then you probably do, however there is a simple leak test to confirm if your pool is losing water. Fill a clear bucket or container with water and then place it on a step in the pool. Make sure that the water levels in the bucket and the pool are identical. Leave the bucket in position for 48 hours before checking the levels. If the pool water level s lower than that of the bucket, then you have a leak in your pool.

Why Is A Swimming Pool Leak Such A Significant Problem?

The biggest issue with a swimming pool is the sheer volume of water involved. Because a swimming pool is either built inside the home or in close vicinity to the property, the potential damage a swimming pool leak could cause can easily run into thousands of pounds. If excessive water gets into the foundations of your home, it could cause structural damage to the property in a very short period of time. That is why if you have any suspicions whatsoever that you may have a swimming pool leak, you need to call in the experts immediately.

The Source of A Swimming Pool Leak May Not Always Be Obvious

There are potentially hundreds of areas within any swimming pool setup where a leak could originate from. It could be under the tiles, in the pump room, or even in the water supply to the pool. At ADI Leak Detection, we offer what we believe is the most comprehensive swimming pool leak detection solution in the United Kingdom. We have some of the leading leak detection engineers on our staff. We are also the original leak detection company in the United Kingdom, having been in business for over twenty years. We consistently push the barriers of leak detection, which is why when it comes to swimming pools, we are one of the only companies that use PADI certified scuba divers to help us get to the root of the problem.

Pool Structure Leaks

Pool Structure Leaks typically refers to a leak in the shell of your pool. The cause of these type of leaks is typically poor construction, or engineering, or in certain cases ground movement. A general rule of thumb in ascertaining if the pool leak is structural is to identify the source of the leak. Structural cracks are typically located in and around the foundation of the pool, or within the supporting structure, as opposed to non-structural cracks which occur in the pools surface or tiles. Horizontal foundation cracks that appear in walls with or without bowing, are virtually guaranteed to be structural in nature. Your pool culd also be loosing water due to poorly fitted underwater lights and filtration system components.

Filtration System Leaks

Filtration system leaks are typically the most common causes of a leak in any swimming pool, but it is essential that they are identified and rectified as a matter of urgency. As the name suggests the leaks occur during the pool filtration process, pumping, filling and emptying the pool. The major cause for concern is that any leakage in a underground pipe or pipes could have been caused by root damage, or ground movement. Alternatively it could be a poorly fitted or perished seal, a defective piece of PVC, or just a poor installation process. As with any type of leak the problem is highly unlikely to fix itself, and will deteriote often rapidly if it is not dealt with as a matter of priority.

We have a team of pool leak detection specialists with a near perfect record of identifying the source of any water leak within a swimming pool, typically on the day we attend.
