Pool Leak Investigation
Chattanooga, TN
If your pool water level is dropping faster than normal, it may not just be evaporation.
Mize Pool Inspection provides Pool Leak Investigation Services to determine if your pool is actually leaking, what type of leak may be present, and what the next step should be.
Our process focuses on identifying whether water loss is due to:
Normal evaporation
A structural issue within the pool
Or a problem with the plumbing system
We use non-invasive methods including digital water loss monitoring, detailed visual inspection, and dye testing to evaluate common leak areas and provide clear, unbiased answers.
We do not perform repairs, our goal is to accurately diagnose the issue so you can make the right decision moving forward.
If findings suggest the issue may be within the plumbing system, additional testing such as pressure testing can be performed to help isolate and confirm the affected line.
How Pool Leaks Are Identified
Our leak investigation follows a structured, step-by-step process to determine if a leak is present and where it is most likelu coming from.
Step 1: Structural & Visual Inspection
We evaluate the pool structure, fittings, and visible penetrations for common leak points where water may escape.
Common areas evaluated include:
Skimmer throat and skimmer body
Return fittings
Light niches
Tile line cracks or separation
Steps and seam transitions
Visible cracks within the pool shell
Step 2: Water Loss Monitoring & Dye Testing:
Digital water loss monitoring and dye testing are used to confirm whether abnormal water loss is present and help identify likely leak locations within the pool.
Step 3: Plumbing Evaluation (If Needed):
If findings indicate the issue may be within the plumbing system, we can perform additional testing such as pressure testing to help isolate and confirm the affected line.
Not all leaks require invasive testing; many can be identified early through proper evaluation.
Dye testing used to confirm structural leaks by observing water movement into suspected areas.
What the Leak Investigation Includes
A Pool Leak Investigation focuses on identifying whether your pool is losing water and evaluating the most common areas where leaks occur.
This process includes:
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 whether additional testing is necessary.
If findings indicate the issue may be within the plumbing system, further evaluation such as pressure testing can be performed to isolate and confirm the affected line.
This structured approach allows for accurate evaluation without unnecessary or invasive testing.
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.
