Excessive Pool Chemical Use and Unbalanced Water

Beyond just losing water, a hidden leak can cause you to lose expensive swimming pool chemicals. As treated water escapes the pool it takes with it the chemicals you’ve added to keep the water clean and balanced. A few of the negative impacts of lost chemicals are:

  • Increased costs both in chemicals, but also water
  • Damage to pool surfaces as unbalanced pH can lead to corrosive water that eats away at plaster, grout and equipment, or it can cause calcium scaling.
  • Equipment strain occurs with the constant need to add fresh water forcing chlorinators and other pool systems to run longer and reduce lifespan.
  • Algae growth

The Damaging Effects of a Plumbing Leak

A leak in your pool’s pluming system – which is often buried beneath your deck or the adjacent area of your yard – can have severe and costly consequences far beyond just a low water level. Since these leaks are hidden, the damage can progress unnoticed until it becomes a major problem. Here’s how a plumbing leak can negatively impact your property and wallet.

  • Foundation and deck damage by a continuous leak creating soil erosion causing a shift, leading to cracks in your pool, pool deck and other areas.
  • Risk of pump failure due to air in the line, without water can overheat and burn out.

Once we have precisely located the source of the leak within your plumbing system, our trained technicians can implement a targeted repair. We utilize cutting edge techniques to fix the issue with minimal disruption to your yard or deck.

  • Section replacement is for those areas that are beyond repair and can surgically excavate and replace only the damaged portion.
  • Targeted pipe repair by repairing a specific section of the pipe without replacing the entire line.

Our Solution: Expert Leak Detection Combined with Structural & Skimmer Repair

A pool’s structure – whether it’s gunite, plaster, PebbleTec, or a vinyl liner – can develop leaks over time due to ground movement, age or poor construction. Leaks can also originate from the skimmer, a critical component that is often a weak point. Our comprehensive structural and skimmer repair services can stop water loss and prevent more extensive damage.

Our specialize solutions include:

  • Skilled skimmer replacement as a licensed C-53 contractor to remove the old leaking skimmer and install a new, durable unit ensuring a seal to prevent future water loss.
  • Targeted crack repair for isolated cracks in gunite or paster walls using marine-safe epoxy as temporary solution that is not guaranteed.
  • Swimming pool resurfacing with crack repair for pools with extensive cracking, aging surfaces, or multiple small leaks, resurfacing is the most effective solution.

Pinnacle Pool is the premier provider in pool leak detection services.  Call us to see how we can help you start saving money plus preserve and enjoy our precious resource.
