Introduction to Swimming Pool Leak Detection
Swimming pool water loss can be a perplexing issue for pool owners. At Aquatrace Swimming Pool Leak Detection, we understand the critical importance of having the right tools and expertise for effective pool leak detection. This guide delves into the intricacies of detecting and addressing leaks in swimming pools, showcasing our extensive experience in this highly specialized field.
The Importance of Professional Leak Detection
Leak detection in swimming pools is not just about having the right tools; it’s about having the expertise to use them effectively. Our years of experience have taught us to recognize signs of leakage that might be missed by the untrained eye. Throughout thousands of inspections, we have honed our skills to identify even the most subtle indicators of a problem.
Identifying Obvious and Hidden Leaks
Consider a recent project involving a gunite pool and an elevated spa. The pool and spa, constructed of concrete and finished in marcite, appeared intact at first glance. However, our trained professionals identified three critical leaks locations: two around the upper returns in the elevated spa and another in the skimmer mouth. These leaks, while not immediately apparent to the pool owner or pool cleaning service provider, were clearly evident to our experienced team.
Understanding the Causes of Pool Leaks
In the case of the gunite pool, we discovered a slight structural deficiency around the two spa return jet outlets and minor deficiencies in the skimmer mouth. These issues, though minor, were causing significant water loss. Our investigation revealed that the leaks were due to the natural expansion and contraction of materials from varying weather conditions, a common yet often overlooked problem.
The Impact of Construction : Craftsmanship and Material Quality
Leaks in swimming pools, such as this scenario, do not necessarily indicate poor craftsmanship. Factors such as the natural expansion and contraction of unlike construction materials can contribute to spontaneous leaks, even shortly after new construction. In our case study, the interaction of weather changes which caused different rates of expansion and contraction between tile, grout and the PVC skimmer body, was a crucial and determining factor.
Our Approach to Leak Detection and Reporting
At Aquatrace, we approach each leak detection project with meticulous attention to detail. After identifying the leaks, we provided the client with a comprehensive report, complete with descriptions and photographs of the detected issues.
