Leak Detections for Commercial Pools

Leak Detection for Pools

A leak in your public pool or hot tub can cause big issues if left untreated. At Swimming Pool Inspection Services, we have a nationwide network of experienced contractors and engineers who specialize in leak detection for pools, and can determine if your public pool or spa has a leak, and, if necessary, advise you on how to repair the leak, before the problem worsens.

Our Swimming Pool Leak Detection Services

There are several ways to determine if a swimming pool, hot tub or spa has a leak. However, because of the nature of a public pool, including frequent use resulting in water loss and higher usage of chemicals, detecting a pool leak from the naked eye can be difficult. Our inspectors can perform commercial leak detection tests, including:

  • Bucket test: Placing a bucket of water next to a pool and comparing the water loss in each vessel. This can help determine if a pool is losing water due to environmental factors, such as extreme heat.
  • Pressure test: This is a test that is done to determine if there is a leak in the plumbing, which cannot be seen from the outside.
  • Dye test: Dye is placed in the pool, and if it is drawn toward the pool wall, and not the skimmer, a leak may be present.

Swimming Pool Leak Detection as a Risk Management Strategy

When a leak is present but left untreated, it can eventually wear into a bigger, worse leak. Water soaking into the ground around a pool can cause structural damage if the ground becomes soaked or settles as a result of the leak. This can have a ripple effect on nearby buildings and even sidewalks or patios. Taking care of leaks early on is the best thing you can do to ensure that you will not have thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars of damage on your hands.

Because public pools get more use than residential pools, small issues can worsen quicker than in a residential setting. Insurance companies are tough on public facilities; they want to know that you are taking the safety of your guests seriously and that your pool and spa are being carefully and vigilantly maintained. Our pool leak inspections are ideal for public pools and spas, including:

  • High school, college, and university pools.
  • Community center pools.
  • Hotel, motel, and resort pools.
  • Country and athletic club pools.
  • Condominium and apartment complex pools.
