What causes swimming pools to leak?

  • Cracks in the pools structure

        Cracks could be caused by settlement, temperature changes or ground movement.

  • Poorly installed or defective pipework

        Water could be leaking anywhere in the system through poorly installed pipework, often at joints or elbows.

  • Damaged or faulty pool plant

         If a valve is not holding water could be pumped straight down the drain resulting in a net loss of pool water.

  • Tile grout issues
         Grout and tiles are not a waterproofing membrane, however if there is a defect in the pool tank, a loss of grout will amplify the issue.
 
  • Evaporation & pool users
         Swimming pools always lose water due to evaporation and pool users, this can sometime be mistaken for a leak.
