Newcastle Leak Detection
If you’re topping up your pool more often than usual or noticing damp patches around your pool area, there’s a good chance you’ve got a leak. At Col Davies Pools in Warners Bay, we specialise in fast, accurate leak detection across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens. Finding leaks isn’t just about spotting obvious damage — most pool leaks start small and can be hidden in the structure, plumbing, or fittings. Left unchecked, they can lead to major water loss, rising chemical bills, and costly structural repairs. Using specialised leak detection equipment and a keen eye developed from years of experience, we pinpoint the problem quickly, so you can fix it before it gets worse. We don’t just guess — we get to the bottom of it properly.
If you think your pool might be leaking, don’t wait until the problem gets bigger. Call us today on 0418 497 931 to book a leak inspection and get peace of mind.
How We Find & Fix Pool Leaks
Leak detection is part science, part detective work — and it’s something we take seriously. When we arrive, we start by checking the obvious signs, but we don’t stop there. We run pressure tests, dye tests, and inspect fittings, plumbing lines and pool shells using specialist tools designed to detect even the smallest leaks.
Once we locate the source, we’ll talk you through the repair options clearly and honestly, helping you make the best decision for your pool and budget. Whether it’s a crack in the surface, a split pipe underground, or a problem with the skimmer box, we’ve seen it all — and fixed it all. Acting early not only saves water and money, but also prevents damage from spreading to other parts of your pool system.
Think you might have a hidden leak? Give us a call on 0418 497 931 — the sooner we find it, the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix.
How do I know if my pool is leaking or just evaporating?
Evaporation typically causes a small, gradual drop in water level—about 3–5 mm per day. If your pool is losing more than that, especially overnight or when the pump is off, it could indicate a leak. A simple bucket test can help you tell the difference between evaporation and an actual leak.
How are pool leaks detected?
Pool leak detection uses specialised tools such as pressure testing, acoustic listening devices, dye testing, and electronic leak detectors. These methods help pinpoint leaks in the pool shell, plumbing, fittings, or equipment without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Can a leaking pool cause damage?
Yes, untreated leaks can lead to water loss, increased chemical use, and structural damage to the pool or surrounding areas. Over time, leaks can weaken foundations, cause erosion, and increase repair costs. Early detection helps avoid major repairs and keeps your pool safe to use.
