Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs
Leaks often start small but escalate quickly if left unresolved. Unfortunately, many pool leaks are hidden underground or within plumbing lines, making them difficult to detect without the right equipment and expertise.
Here are common signs your pool may be leaking:
- Unexplained drop in water level (more than normal evaporation)
- Constant need to add water
- Damp or soft ground near the pool or equipment pad
- Air bubbles coming from return jets
- Increased chemical use or unbalanced water chemistry
- Algae growth despite proper maintenance
- Cracks in pool structure or deck
If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s important to take action promptly. Undiagnosed leaks can lead to erosion, weakened foundations, and costly structural repairs.
How We Find the Leak — Our Process
At East Tennessee Pools and Spa, our leak detection process is systematic, efficient, and non-invasive whenever possible. We begin with a visual inspection and a detailed conversation about the symptoms you’ve observed.
From there, we use a combination of advanced detection techniques to pinpoint the source of the leak, including:
- Pressure Testing: We isolate plumbing lines and pressurize them to identify cracks or weak connections.
- Electronic Leak Detection: Sensitive devices help detect leaks in liners, concrete shells, and pool floors.
- Dye Testing: A simple, effective method to track water movement around suspected cracks or fittings.
- Acoustic Listening Equipment: Specialized tools allow us to hear escaping water underground or within walls.
Once we locate the leak, we’ll explain the issue, recommend the best course of repair, and provide a clear, upfront estimate. Whether it’s a minor patch or a section of plumbing that needs replacement, you can count on honest guidance and long-term solutions.
