Investigation and repairs
Pool & Spa Leak Detection and Repairs
Separate evaporation from a confirmed pool or spa fault
A falling water level may involve pipework, fittings, lights, skimmers, returns, shell cracks, liners, balance tanks or plant equipment. Testing should isolate these components before excavation or major repair begins.
Signs that further investigation may be required
- Water level falling faster than expected evaporation.
- Wet ground or moisture beside the pool structure.
- Air entering the circulation system.
- Cracked shells, damaged liners or movement at fittings.
- Unexplained plant-room moisture or repeated top-up demand.
What DAC checks
- Water-level monitoring and comparative evaporation checks.
- Pressure testing of accessible hydraulic lines.
- Dye testing around fittings, lights, skimmers and cracks.
- Plant equipment, valves, filters and balance tanks.
- Accessible decks and adjoining building areas.
Repair and remediation direction
Repairs may include hydraulic-line repair, fitting replacement, plant-equipment works, localised crack or penetration treatment, liner repair or replacement and adjoining deck remediation.
Structural movement, widespread shell failure or concealed pipework may require specialist engineering or controlled excavation.
Arrange Pool or Spa Testing
We can isolate the fault before any excavation or major repair begins.
