Typically a swimming pool's age, is the main cause of Pool Leak problems.
Other causes are poor construction techniques, improper winterization of pipes, ground settlement that just breaks a pipe, liner gets brittle and loses its elasticity which can easily rip or get a hole. Skimmers start to pull away from Gunite Pools and cause Leakage too. Termites cause a lot of damage too --> whether its them eating thru the liner or a certain type of piping (Flex PVC) probably thousands of Long Island Pools have termite problems.
By dye testing suspicious areas of the pool we can determine the source of the Leak
With the Leak identified we proceed with the needed repairs - for your pool.
Whether it's a liner pool that needs a hole patched or sealing Leaking gaskets at stairs, skimmers or main or light Leaks (in a liner or Gunite pool) or minor gunite cracks can be repaired with epoxy, we will STOP the Leak.
Ater the underwater repairs you can monitor the pool for the next 7 days and most importantly we ask that you verify there no additional water loss in the pool. If we missed something inside the pool during our dive, we will be back at no additional cost to you.
The Liner is 10+ years old
The liner is very faded - which might indicate the Liner is aged or brittle
The Liner has lost its elasticity making it susceptible to damage (actually cracking) or difficult for anyone to repair
Money is not an issue and you just like the look of a new liner
We start with a basic pressure test. We don't stop there though: the hard part is finding it & that is what we specialize in. We will find it electronically with some of the best equipment there is. We use superior sound/listening equipment as well as helium detectors to aid in the finding the Leak with precision. Who cares what kind of great equipment we have? It all boils down to what Long Island Companies will offer assurances they will find the Leak or they charge $0? Is there other companies (besides Pool Pro) that will guarantee to locate your Leaks? - not that we know of.
If you are considering getting a new patio/pavers soon
If there is flex PVC piping that already has past termite damage
If the distance from the equip. to the pool is short & would require little re-piping
If a re-pipe can be accomplished by disturbing only a small amount of patio/pavers - (primarily route around the patio - just under earth for example)
Do u think the avg. Pool Company can find a Leak as well as a Leak Detection Company with 25 yrs. experience? It's really not important, as long as your company has a similar policy as ours
(WILL THEY CHARGE YOU IF THEY CAN'T FIND THE LEAK).
It's pretty important to us to determine which service you need ahead of time & try hard not to charge you for an unnecessary dive or pressure test.
We try very hard to give you the most accurate/honest feedback, even if it takes a couple of phone conversations to get the info we need before we come out and do some testing. Sometimes we will talk ourselves out of a job by suggesting you get your liner or pipes replaced and forget about our Pool Leak Detection. WE WILL NEVER SUGGEST A PIPE OR LINER REPLACEMENT THAT WE BELIEVE IS NOT NEEDED, but unfortunately sometimes a replacement is needed.
for service, cleaning, new liners or perform pipe repairs (once we find the pipe Leak) etc.
