Pool Leak detection
Swimming Pool Leak Detection
A leaking pool is more than just an inconvenience—it can lead to significant water loss, structural damage, and increased utility costs. Even a small leak can escalate over time, affecting the stability of your pool’s foundation and surrounding landscape. At Perfect Pools, we use state-of-the-art Pool Leak detection technology to accurately locate and repair leaks, ensuring your pool remains efficient and safe.
Common Signs of a Pool Leak:
- Unexplained water loss – If your pool loses more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water per week, you may have a leak.
- Wet spots around the pool area – Soggy ground near the pool could indicate an underground plumbing leak.
- Cracks in the pool shell or deck – Visible cracks could be signs of structural damage and potential leaks.
- Algae growth despite proper chemical balance – Excessive water loss can disrupt chemical balance, leading to algae buildup.
- Increased water bills – A sudden spike in your water bill without increased usage can indicate a leak.

The pool pump is the heart of your swimming pool, responsible for circulating water through the filtration and chlorination systems. A failing pump can lead to stagnant, dirty water and improper chemical distribution.
Common Pool Pump Issues We Fix:
- Loud or unusual noises – Often caused by worn-out bearings or cavitation.
- Low water flow or pressure– Due to clogged impellers or failing motors.
- Pump leaks – From worn-out seals, cracked housing, or plumbing failures.
- Motor failure – Overheating or electrical issues leading to shutdowns.
On-Site Repairs:
For minor issues and urgent fixes, our technicians visit your location to assess and resolve pool equipment problems on-site.
Workshop Repairs:
We diagnose and service salt chlorinators, ensuring optimal performance and longer-lasting chlorine production.
