Who Needs Leak Detection – And Why It Matters
Leaks can affect any pool, regardless of age or type. Our service is ideal for:
- Home pool owners noticing frequent water top-ups exceeding 2 inches per week.
- Commercial pools where water loss can impact operational costs and safety.
- Indoor pools and spas where unnoticed leaks could damage flooring or building structure.
- Older pools or recently refurbished pools where tiles, liners, or sealants may have deteriorated.
By detecting leaks early, you prevent long-term damage, protect pool equipment, and maintain beautiful, safe water. Even small leaks can lead to costly ground and structural issues if left unchecked, so acting promptly is essential.
Our Leak Detection Services – Accurate, Fast, and Reliable
We use a comprehensive range of specialist tests and technology to pinpoint leaks:
- Pressure induction testing
- Leak dye detection
- Trace gas detection
- Ultrasonic leak detection
- Leakalizer technology
- Crack injection
- Hydraphonic leak detection
- Electronic liner and fibreglass scanning
Sometimes, the source is outside the pool; other times, a dive is needed to inspect liners, tiles, or main drains. Once identified, minor repairs like a liner patch or small seal can often be completed during the visit, buying time for a permanent fix. We also liaise directly with your repair team to ensure the leak is fully resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my swimming pool has a leak?
If you’re noticing your pool’s water level dropping faster than usual, wet spots around the pool, or an increase in chemical usage, these are often signs of a leak. Our experts can quickly diagnose the issue before it becomes costly.
What is the bucket test for swimming pool leaks?
The bucket test is a simple way to check if water loss is due to evaporation or a leak. By comparing water levels in a bucket placed beside your pool over 24 hours, you can get an initial idea — but for precise detection, our professional service is best.
How do professionals detect leaks in swimming pools?
We use advanced, non-invasive tools like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and pressure testing to accurately pinpoint leaks, ensuring fast, effective repairs without unnecessary disruption to your pool or property.
Can a swimming pool leak cause structural damage to my property?
Yes, leaks can cause serious damage. Water escaping from your pool can weaken foundations, erode soil, and compromise decking. Detecting leaks early with our expert service helps protect your investment and avoid costly repairs.
Why should I hire a professional for swimming pool leak detection instead of DIY?
While DIY tests can indicate a leak, our professional team provides expert diagnosis using specialised equipment, saving you time, money, and stress by finding the exact issue quickly — preventing further damage.
