Our Swimming Pool Leak Detection In Melbourne Process
Every leak detection follows our systematic methodology combining multiple testing approaches ensuring accurate location without unnecessary excavation or property damage.
Initial Assessment & Water Loss Evaluation
We confirm genuine leaks versus normal evaporation through proven testing methods.
- Our technicians measure water loss rates comparing against expected evaporation for conditions
- We perform bucket tests placing water-filled containers beside pools comparing loss rates accurately

Visual Inspection & Pattern Analysis
We examine pools identifying obvious problems and likely leak locations.
This diagnostic stage includes:
- Checking visible cracks, tile damage, fitting conditions, and equipment connections systematically
- Observing water level behavior identifying whether loss occurs when pumps run or constantly
- Documenting pool construction, equipment locations, and plumbing configurations informing testing
Pressure Testing Plumbing Lines
We isolate and test individual plumbing lines identifying leaks within pipe systems.
- Plugging lines and applying air pressure revealing leaks through pressure drops over time
- Testing suction lines, return lines, and dedicated feature lines separately locating problems precisely
- Determining whether leaks exist in underground plumbing or within pool shells narrowing search
Acoustic Leak Detection
We use sensitive listening equipment hearing water escaping through small openings.
- Employing professional acoustic devices amplifying sounds of water under pressure escaping
- Systematically covering pool surfaces, equipment pads, and plumbing routes identifying leak sounds
- Pinpointing leak locations within inches allowing targeted repairs without exploratory excavation

Testimonials
What Our Clients are Saying
The team were punctual, professional and tidy. They fixed cracks, prepped the whole shell properly and applied a navy epoxy finish that looks amazing. No mess, clear communication and the pool was refilled on time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a long-lasting, premium finish
Werribee Resident
“From quote to completion the crew were great. They explained the epoxy options, repaired an old fibreglass blister, and the final surface is silky smooth. Our family loves the new colour and the kids are back in the pool already. Excellent value and a five-star team.”
Williams Landing
We engaged them to resurface the communal pool for our complex. The project ran to schedule, safety and access were handled professionally, and the marine-grade coating has stood up to heavy use. The cleaner finish and updated waterline have really improved resident satisfaction. Would recommend for both residential and commercial work.
Sunshine West
We were worried our concrete pool was too far gone but they explained every step clearly and restored it beautifully. Smooth surface, modern colour and no more chalky water. Really great communication and they left the place clean. Would happily recommend to friends and family.
Footscray
We moved into an older place and the pool surface was faded and rough. The team fully prepped it, repaired a few chips and applied a deep blue finish that looks like a resort now. They turned up on time every day and were super respectful of our small backyard access. Worth every cent.

Dye testing reveals leak locations around fittings and cracks. Thermal imaging sometimes identifies temperature differences indicating water movement. Combined approaches locate most leaks without any excavation required.
Pools losing more than 6mm daily in Melbourne's climate likely leak. Perform bucket tests comparing pool water loss against evaporation from buckets floating in pools.
Observe whether loss occurs only when equipment runs suggesting plumbing leaks or constantly indicating shell leaks. Wet soil, sinking pavers, or unusually high water bills signal problems requiring investigation.
Our equipment locates most leak types including shell cracks, plumbing failures, fitting leaks, and equipment connection problems. Success rates exceed 90 percent for cooperative conditions.
