Pool Leak Detection Using Ultrasound

It sounds like you're dealing with some major issues - your pool is leaking and it's down to a lower level than yesterday. A lot lower. Lower than normal. Your pool water level can go down a quarter of an inch due to evaporation, but it seems like you're losing more than that lately. 

A pool leak can cause your water to go even faster than you think. Leaks are a common occurrence in pools, and they're surprisingly easy for many people to miss until it's too late. With pool leak detection services, you can quickly locate underground leaks and have them repaired before they cause major damage. 

Leaks are a problem that plagues every home and business. We have the tools to detect leaks in your plumbing, septic system, or even underground water lines. 

Our leak detection specialists will pinpoint the source of your leak problems quickly and efficiently so you can get back to enjoying life without worry.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE CONDUCTING POOL LEAK DETECTION SERVICES?

You might first think to start digging around and looking for where the leak is coming from. The issue with digging is that you may just end up accidentally creating a bunch of holes in your yard. 

The water you see on top of the ground surface could be coming from a garden hose or sprinkler, not necessarily indicative of where the actual leak is. Underground water leaks can be hard to detect, and oftentimes the leak does not surface at the spot of it.

Digging is not the solution to your leak. You'll just have a bunch of holes in-between random areas that you will need to fill back up later with dirt and grass seed because now it looks worse than before.

Instead of digging up your yard, you can determine how much water is actually lost on a given day with the bucket test. When you're testing your pool's water, it helps to use the bucket method. The bucket test calculates how much more or less water is in a control (a bucket).  To perform the test, follow these steps:
​
  • Gather the following supplies: 5 gallon bucket, tape, a ruler, and a pen.
  • Place a piece of tape on the inside and outside of your bucket.
  • Fill the bucket with water and place it on the top step of the pool stairs.
  • Allow the water to settle inside the bucket, then mark the water level on the inside and outside of the bucket. Your mark should go on the tape.
  • Leave the bucket for 24 hours, making sure no one goes swimming and it doesn’t rain.
  • After 24 hours, mark the new water levels below your original lines.
  • Dump the water out of the bucket and measure the differences between the lines.
If your measurements from inside and outside the bucket are identical, then you're most likely only losing water due to evaporation. If the measurement from outside the bucket is more than inside, then it’s likely you have a leak somewhere.

Leak detecting can be costly and annoying. They can also cause damage to your property, so it’s important to know how to find them before they get out of hand. Luckily, we have the solution for you! We offer leak detection services that will help you find those pesky leaks before they become a problem.
WHAT IF I THINK THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE?

There are many different ways to find a pool leak, but an effective one is using ultrasonic water leak detection services. In order to locate specific underground leaks, experts combine infrared thermography, ultrasound detection with helium detection and correlate the data.

Plumbing for your pool is a crucial feature that should not be overlooked. If you have any type of underground plumbing, the leak detection methods will allow a more precise location than traditional digging holes randomly in your yard.

Pool leak detection just got simpler with ultrasound and other advanced technology. These can end up saving you time as well money!

WHAT IS ULTRASONIC POOL LEAK DETECTION?

A pool leak detection specialist will use a combination of equipment to find specific areas where leaks are occurring, and this process is called "ultrasonic."

Depending on the type of pool and where your pool pump system and plumbing is located, an experienced specialist will use various combinations of leak detection equipment to find leaks. Ultrasound allows the specialist to listen for leaks that are underground and hard to find, once the underground plumbing lines have been located.

The leak detection process is not always as easy as using a flashlight and looking for wet patches on the floor. In some cases, specialists need to use thermal cameras or other gadgets that can help them find temperature differences in water lines which may indicate weak spots in plumbing. 

In other cases, pool leak detection requires helium detectors. To find where the leak is coming from, helium gas can be securely pumped into your plumbing system and a detector will identify which sections are leaking. 

No one wants to deal with a pool leak. It can cause your entire yard to flood, mess up all of the equipment in your pool and end up costing you a lot more money than it should. Nowadays we have ultrasonic leak detection that can detect leaks and save us the time of digging through your yard for hours!
