Leak Detection in Stratford

Find Your Pool Leak Fast in Stratford

Losing more water than you should? We pinpoint exactly where your pool or spa is leaking, so it can be fixed without guesswork or unnecessary digging. Stratford is a short drive from our Sale base, and we look after pools in town and the surrounding district.

Pool Leak Detection in Stratford

We locate leaks in pools and spas of all types, from the shell and fittings to the underground plumbing.

Leak or Evaporation?

First we confirm there really is a leak by comparing your water loss with normal evaporation. No point digging if it's just a hot, windy week.

Pressure Testing Pipes

We isolate and pressure test the suction and return lines to find leaks in underground plumbing without digging up the yard.

Dye Testing

Dye released near suspect cracks, fittings and lights shows exactly where water is escaping from the pool.

Skimmer, Light & Fitting Checks

Most leaks happen where something passes through the pool wall. We check skimmers, returns, lights and cleaner lines one by one.

Liner & Shell Inspections

We inspect vinyl liners, fibreglass and concrete surfaces for tears, cracks and failed seals, above and below the waterline.

Clear Report & Repair Quote

You get a clear explanation of what we found and a quote to fix it, and we can carry out the repair ourselves.

Pool Leak Detection in Stratford: Local Know-How

Stratford sits on the Avon River about 18 km north of Sale. Homes here (postcode 3862) are in the Wellington Shire Council area. Central Gippsland summers are hot and dry, and northerly winds blow gum leaves, dust and pollen straight into backyard pools.

In Stratford, hot and windy days push evaporation up, so it is easy to mistake a leak for normal water loss, or the other way round. Pinpointing the leak first means the repair is quick and nothing is dug up unnecessarily.

Remember that Victorian pools and spas over 30 cm deep need to be registered with Wellington Shire Council, and the safety barrier must be inspected and certified every four years. We service Stratford regularly from our base in Sale, so give us a call to book in.

Pool Leak Detection Questions from Stratford Pool Owners

How do I know if my pool is leaking?
Try a bucket test: put a bucket of pool water on the step, mark both levels and compare after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you likely have a leak.

How much water loss is normal?
A few millimetres a day is normal evaporation in hot, windy weather. A steady drop of more than that, especially overnight or in mild weather, points to a leak.

How do you find the leak?
We check the skimmer, returns and lights, dye-test suspect spots, and pressure-test the underground lines to narrow it down.
