Pool Leak Investigation
Chattanooga, TN
Swimming pools naturally lose small amounts of water due to evaporation, but excessive or unexplained water loss may indicate a leak.
Mize Pool Inspection provides Pool Leak Investigation Services to determine whether a pool is experiencing abnormal water loss and to identify likely structural leak sources.
This service uses non-invasive evaluation methods to investigate common leak areas and provide property owners with clear guidance on the next steps if a leak is suspected.
Pool Leak Investigations are commonly requested by homeowners, buyers during real estate transactions, and property managers who notice dropping water levels or suspect a possible leak.
How Pool Leaks Are Identified
This service focuses on identifying structural leak sources within the pool vessel, including areas where the shell, fittings, or penetrations may allow water to escape.
Common Structural Leak Areas Evaluated:
Skimmer throat and skimmer body
Return fittings
Light niches
Tile line cracks or separation
Steps and seam transitions
Visible cracks within the pool shell
If plumbing leaks are suspected but cannot be confirmed through visual investigation, additional specialized testing such as pressure testing may be recommended.
Dye testing used to confirm structural leaks by observing water movement into suspected areas.
What the Leak Investigation Includes
A Pool Leak Investigation includes evaluation of the most common areas where structural water loss occurs
Digital water loss monitoring with the system on and off to help determine if water loss exceeds normal evaporation
Dye testing of common structural leak areas including skimmers, return fittings, light niches, and tile lines
Visual inspection of the pool shell, tile line, and visible cracks.
Inspection of steps, seams, and penetrations where leaks commonly occur
Evaluation of visible plumbing and equipment pad fittings
Observation of system behavior with the system running and off when applicable.
These methods help identify likely leak locations and determine if further testing is needed.
When a Leak Investigation is Recommended
You may benefit from a leak investigation if you notice:
Water level dropping faster than normal
Frequent need to refill the pool
Wet or soft soil around pool equipment or plumbing areas
Air entering the circulation system (bubbles at returns)
Visible cracks, separation, or deteriorated fitting
Early leak investigation can help prevent further damage, reduce water loss, and avoid more costly repairs
Inspection Report
After the investigation, clients receive a digital report with photos and clearly documented findings, outlining any areas of concern and recommended next steps.
Not all leaks require invasive testing, many can be identified early with proper evaluation.
