What Should I Do If There's a Leak?

If there's a leak in your pool, it's imperative to contact an expert as quickly as possible. In some cases, a bit of lost water may be due to evaporation. However, a significant loss of water indicates the need for a professional.

It's important to get pool leaks fixed quickly for a couple reasons. The need to constantly replenish pool water can lead to greater energy bills, and the chlorinated water seeping into the surrounding ground can cause major damage.

As well, it's important to have water in your pool at all times: pools that don't have water in them are much more susceptible to water damage. So the structural damage happens to both the pool and the ground around it.

This is why it's a good idea to check for leaks if you're leaving your pool for a long trip. This way, you can rest easy knowing your pool is working.

What Causes Leaks?

Depending on the type of pool, leaks can be caused by a wide variety of things. Vinyl pools are the most likely to have problems, since it's easy to accidentally pierce the material. For fiberglass pools, the problem often occurs due to either faulty installation or the ground surrounding the pool. While concrete and unite pools are the least likely to have problems, they do sometimes spring leaks. This usually happens to older pools. 

You also have to watch out for problems with pool pumps. While the issues can sometimes be difficult to see, shifting ground is particularly problematic for pools.

Someone with a deep understanding of pool maintenance will be able to spot potential problems and stop them before they become expensive leaks.

That's why it's so important to work with a professional pool company, which can ensure your pool is properly maintained. This helps prevent the majority of leaks. When leaks do happen, the company will quickly be able to spot the problem and get it repaired.
