Pool Leak Detection in BC

 🔄 Reviewed and maintained by the AnyLeak team — August 2026. Rated 5 stars by BC customers.

Pools lose some water to evaporation and splash-out, but a persistent drop usually means a leak in the shell, the plumbing or the equipment pad. Chasing it by guesswork is costly. For more than 25 years, AnyLeak.ca has located pool and spa leaks the precise way, protecting your deck, landscaping and budget.

Signs Your Pool Is Leaking

• You are adding water far more often than evaporation explains
• Wet, soft or eroding ground around the pool, deck or equipment pad
• Cracks in the shell, deck settlement, or loose tiles and coping
• Air bubbles from return jets, or the pump losing prime
• A noticeable jump in your water bill with no other cause
• Chemicals that will not stay balanced because water keeps changing

A simple bucket test can hint at a leak, but it cannot tell you where the water is going. That is where professional detection earns its keep.

How We Detect Pool Leaks

We isolate whether the loss is in the structure, the plumbing or the equipment, then pinpoint it with the right tool for the job:

• Pressure testing of suction, return and main-drain lines to find plumbing leaks underground without digging blind.
• Acoustic detection to hear water escaping a pressurised pool line.
• Dye and visual testing at fittings, skimmers, lights and the shell to confirm structural leaks.
• Thermal imaging to reveal moisture tracking away from the pool envelope.

These are the same disciplined techniques behind every leak detection service we offer — adapted to the realities of pools and spas.

Pools and Leaks We Handle

We work on in-ground and above-ground pools, hot tubs and spas, including:

• Concrete and gunite shells with cracks or failed expansion joints
• Vinyl-liner pools with tears, failed seams or fitting leaks
• Fibreglass shells and surface delamination
• Skimmer, return, main-drain and light-niche leaks
• Equipment-pad losses at the pump, filter, heater and valves

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know it’s a leak and not evaporation?

Evaporation rarely accounts for more than a few millimetres a day. If the drop is faster, persistent, or comes with wet ground or air in the lines, it is worth a professional check.

Do you have to drain my pool to find the leak?

Usually not. Most pool leak detection is done with the pool full, using pressure testing and acoustic methods. Draining is a last resort, not a starting point.

Can you find leaks in the underground plumbing?

Yes. Pressure testing and acoustic equipment let us isolate and locate leaks in suction and return lines beneath decks and landscaping without tearing everything up.
