Equipment
Pool leak detection ranges from simple to complex. Either way, the right equipment for the job ensures accuracy of detection and a correct diagnosis for repair. Here’s how we use our state-of-the-art equipment to efficiently find and fix pool leaks:
Leaks Within Lines In Pools and Underground
Here’s how we detect your leaks with a F.L.A.S.H.:
We use a F.L.A.S.H. leak locator made by industry-leader LeakTronics that finds leaks and transmits a signal to identify the precise location of the leak. The F.L.A.S.H. can detect leaks in unseen places in pools such as skimmer lines, main drain lines, return lines, cleaning lines, and in-floor systems. For spas, it can detect leaks in the jets and the venturi lines.
Crack Repair
Structural cracks must be repaired before problems escalate. We use Torque Lock™ staples to permanently repair structural cracks. Torque Lock’s reliable 10+ year history makes it the best method for preserving the structure of concrete, gunite, shotcrete, and poured block pools. When Torque Lock staples came on the market, Pool & Spa News named it a ‘Top 50 Product.’ Today, Torque Lock products are in use worldwide.
The staples are metal ‘bars’ that are embedded in the surface of the pool, straddling the crack, and spaced along the length crack. We drill an expansion joint at the base of the crack to keep the damage from spreading. The metal bar holds in place with epoxy, and a torque wrench sets and locks two pins in the metal bar. Then, we apply plaster to cover the staple, making the repair transparent.
Pool Leak Detection Equipment FAQs
We use professional-grade pool leak detection equipment, including the LeakTronics F.L.A.S.H. leak locator, underwater listening microphones, and video inspection scopes, to pinpoint leaks in pools, spas, and underground lines without unnecessary digging.
The F.L.A.S.H. system uses sensitive hydrophones to detect the sound of water escaping a pool or spa, so our Bakersfield technicians can locate the exact leak point with pinpoint accuracy.
Torque Lock™ staples are stainless-steel ties set across a structural pool crack to lock it and stop further movement, delivering a permanent pool crack repair that far outlasts surface patching.
Yes. Our non-invasive leak detection equipment finds leaks in your Bakersfield pool, spa, or plumbing lines precisely, so we access only the exact spot instead of draining the pool or digging up the yard.
Absolutely. Alongside pool leak detection, we use electronic leak locators and video scopes for slab leak detection and trenchless (no-dig) pipe repair across Bakersfield and the surrounding communities.
