DIY leak detection rarely works for anything beyond the most obvious issues. Pool plumbing is complex — a typical inground pool has multiple suction and return lines, skimmers, main drains, lights, and equipment connections, any of which could be the source of a leak. Professional leak detection specialists use:
- Pressure testing — isolating and pressurising each plumbing line to identify which has failed
- Dye testing — injecting coloured dye near suspected leak points to visually confirm water loss
- Acoustic listening devices — detecting the sound of escaping water through concrete and soil
- Pipe cameras — visually inspecting underground pipes for cracks, breaks, or joint failures
- Hydrostatic testing — measuring groundwater pressure to assess structural shell integrity
Once we connect you with a specialist, they'll bring the right equipment for your pool type and the symptoms you're seeing. You get an accurate diagnosis and a clear repair plan — not guesswork.
Adelaide Conditions That Affect Pools
Adelaide's unique conditions make professional leak detection particularly important. Our reactive clay soils — especially prevalent in the north-eastern and southern suburbs — expand and contract significantly with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pool plumbing. The hot, dry summers accelerate evaporation, which can mask slow leaks. Coastal areas like Glenelg and Brighton face additional challenges from salt corrosion on pool equipment.
Whatever your suburb and whatever your pool type, our referral network includes specialists who understand local conditions and can provide a lasting solution.
