Why do pools leak?
There are many reasons why pools leak:
New Pools
⦁ Your pool may have leaked from the day it was built.
⦁ During construction a pipe fitting may not have been glued properly.
⦁ On occasion heavy equipment is used during the final grading of pool decking leaving light conduits and plumbing as targets to get run over and cracked.
⦁ Even though all of your pool plumbing will be inspected under pressure during new construction, small leaks can still sneak by which can become larger over time.
Older Pools
⦁ Ground settling issues can cause plumbing to sag and break at the pool wall.
⦁ A small leak in plumbing/pipes will cause tree and plant roots to migrate toward the moisture in the soil. These roots will wrap around pool plumbing and and crack a pipe.
⦁ Small leaks always create a larger problem eventually.
⦁ Pool tile and grout can crack below the normal water line, or the pool may just develop a crack through the shell.
⦁ Any place that plastic pipe (PVC) comes through the pool shell, (main drains, return lines etc) can develop leaks as the pools interior finish begins to deteriorate.
⦁ As weather changes your pool will expand and contract generally making small leaks bigger leaks.
