Pool Leak Detection in Windsor, CT

Pinpoint the Source of Water Loss Before Winter

In Windsor, your pool is a cherished seasonal asset, but the freeze-thaw cycles of Connecticut winters make any water loss a critical structural threat. A leak isn't just about topping off the water level; it’s about sub-surface erosion. Water escaping from your shell or plumbing washes away the compacted soil supporting your pool, leading to deck settlement and structural cracking when the ground freezes. American Leak Detection of Central Connecticut delivers precision leak diagnostics tailored to New England’s geology. We differentiate between normal evaporation and active failure, locating the exact breach to protect your backyard investment.

Secure your pool’s structure before the freeze. Call (203) 951-5629 to schedule your diagnostic test, or request a service call online.

The Hidden Cost of "Silent" Leaks

A leak is a silent excavator. As water escapes into the ground, it destabilizes the base of your pool. In Windsor’s variable climate, this leads to voids that collapse under the weight of winter snow or shift during spring thaws. Ignoring a leak now means facing expensive structural repairs next season.

• Frost Heave Risk: Saturated soil expands when frozen, cracking plumbing and heaving decks.
• Chemical Waste: Dilution forces you to constantly rebalance, wasting money and damaging plaster.
• Equipment Strain: Air entering the system via suction leaks can burn out expensive pumps.
• Structural Stress: Loss of ground support can cause the pool shell to crack or settle unevenly.

Non-Destructive Acoustic & Pressure Testing

We reject guesswork. Our diagnostic protocol is forensic and data-driven. We use advanced technology to map the leak without tearing up your patio or lawn.

Our technicians employ Hydrostatic Pressure Testing to isolate underground plumbing lines and verify their integrity. We use Electronic Listening Devices to hear the distinct frequency of water escaping into the soil, allowing us to pinpoint leaks under concrete or pavers. For the pool shell, we use targeted Dye Testing around penetrations like skimmers and lights. This multi-layered approach ensures we know exactly where the breach is—and how to fix it with surgical precision.

The Turnkey Remediation Strategy

Finding the leak is only the first step; fixing it is the solution. American Leak Detection of Central Connecticut bridges the gap between detection and repair. We don’t just diagnose; we have the technical capability to execute the necessary repairs immediately.

Whether it involves injecting a specialized epoxy into a structural crack, replacing a fractured faceplate underwater, or excavating a specific section of plumbing, we handle the entire scope. This integrated approach ensures the repair addresses the root cause and restores the integrity of the vessel. However, we uphold a standard of professional flexibility: while we offer this turnkey service for your convenience, you remain in control. You are free to use our detailed findings to hire any contractor you choose.

FAQs

How can I tell if it's a leak or just evaporation?

Perform a "bucket test." Fill a bucket with water and place it on a pool step so the water level inside matches the pool level outside. Mark both levels. After 24 hours, compare the loss. If the pool level dropped more than the bucket level, you likely have a leak.

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

Rarely. Most of our diagnostic tests, including pressure testing and dye testing, are performed with the pool full. In fact, having the pool full is often necessary to properly identify the leak.

Can you fix a leak under the concrete deck?

Yes. Once we pinpoint the location of the plumbing failure, we can often repair it by cutting a small access square in the deck or, in some cases, by tunneling under the deck to avoid cutting the concrete at all.

Do you repair vinyl liner pools?

Yes. We are equipped to detect and repair leaks in gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools. We can patch vinyl tears underwater and repair leaks behind faceplates and gaskets.
