After your Swimming Pool Leak Detection. You will be presented with an estimate for your pool Leak Repair. Pool leak repair is as unique as your pool itself. For a moment let's say your Pool Leak was found in your Pool returns. Our technician will schedule your Pool leak repair for the next available day. When our technicians return, we will start the leak detection process on the specific line all over again. In the case of the pool returns, we will plug all of the jets and the return line at the equipment pad and introduce pressure to verify that a loss is present, then we will get our geophones and again begin tracing the line around the pool listening for the specific sounds that a pool leak makes when we force air to it. After getting a good audible location on the deck we will then drill a half inch hole in the specific location we believe the leak to be in. we will slide a probe into the hole and place our geophones on top of it, the sound will resonate up the probe, and if we are spot on make a very different distinct sound. If we hear what we are looking for then we will begin the excavation of your pool leak. If we do not hear what we are looking for then the triangulation continues, this process can take hours and is the mark of a successful leak detector. This process is what separates the best leak detection companies from the inexperienced.
Excavation:
When going through your pool deck to make a pool leak repair we know you are apprehensive about appearance when we are done, while we cannot make it look like it never happened, we can and will always be neat. To begin the excavation, we will cut a square into the deck with straight lines using a diamond blade. Then, we will break through the deck with a small jack hammer. The broken concrete will be put into a bucket for disposal, then we will dig to, and expose the leaking pool pipe.
