Swimming Pool Leak Detection

Fast, accurate leak finding for residential and commercial pools

A swimming pool leak can cause high water bills, damage to surrounding areas, and ongoing frustration. At The Leak Detection Company, we provide reliable swimming pool leak detection across the Waikato. Our team uses modern equipment and careful testing methods to find the source of the problem without draining your pool.

Our Swimming Pool Leak Detection Process

1. Initial Check

We start by looking at water levels, visible fittings, pump systems, and your pool’s overall condition. This helps narrow down where the leak might be.

2. Pressure Testing

We pressure test lines connected to the pool, such as return lines, skimmer lines, vacuum lines, and other plumbing. This shows if water loss is happening in the pipework.

3. Dye Testing

If we suspect a leak in the shell, steps, or around lights or tiles, we use dye testing to confirm the exact point of water loss.

4. Electronic Detection

We use specialised electronic tools to pinpoint leaks without guessing. This saves you time and avoids digging or draining unless truly needed.

5. Report & Repair Advice

We provide a clear written summary of:

the leak location
cause of the issue
recommended repairs

Signs Your Pool May Have a Leak

If you notice one or more of the following, it’s worth getting it checked:

Dropping water levels that don’t match normal evaporation
Air bubbles in the pump
Wet spots around the pool area
Cracks around the shell, skimmer, or fittings
Needing to top up the pool more often
Algae growth even with regular cleaning
Pump losing prime

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s usually better to get it checked early before the issue gets worse.

Terms & Conditions

Disclaimer – Please Read Before Engagement

This agreement outlines the terms under which The Leak Detection Company provides underground water leak detection services to the person or organisation engaging us (“you”).

You acknowledge that our services are designed to assist with the identification of potential underground water leaks and buried services. While The Leak Detection Company utilises the latest technology and industry-accepted best practices for underground leak detection, we cannot guarantee a detection survey will result in the positive location of any/all leaks. This is subject to several factors that are out of our control, including but not limited to ground conditions, external noise sources, pipe/leak depth and leak size/volume.

No assurance can be given about the exact location of any underground leak or utility identified by The Leak Detection Company. The only way to confirm any such finding is through visual verification. (Refer: AS 5488.1.2019 – Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), Quality Level A).

The accuracy of our detection tools and techniques can vary. Any positions or depths indicated should not be considered exact. You are responsible for confirming all positions and depths using hand digging or hydro excavation methods prior to any mechanical excavation.

The Leak Detection Company accepts no responsibility for any damage, disruption, or harm caused to underground services, or for any injury, financial loss, or other consequences resulting from such incidents—whether affecting you or any other party such as contractors, owners, customers, service providers, councils, or others. You agree to fully indemnify The Leak Detection Company against all such claims, damages, and associated costs.

If, despite the above, any liability does arise on the part of The Leak Detection Company (in contract, tort, or otherwise), that liability will be limited to the total amount paid by you for our services. We are not liable for loss of income, contracts, business opportunities, or any indirect or consequential damages.

These limitations and protections extend to all staff, agents, officers, and contractors of The Leak Detection Company.

You acknowledge that this document forms the entire agreement between you and The Leak Detection Company, and no other terms, representations, or assurances—unless documented here—are part of the agreement.
