We Find the Leak, and We Fix It
Pool Leak Detection and Liner Repair in North Bethesda MD
The PoolTek Way to Pool Care
Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way with steady, dependable care year after year.
Swimming Pool Leaks
A pool loses some water every day to sun and wind. When you’re adding water more often than usual, you may have a leak. Acting fast keeps your water bill down and stops damage from spreading.
When you call, we inspect the pool, the plumbing and the equipment to find where the water is going. Then we explain what we found and how we’ll fix it, whether the problem is in a pipe, a fitting or the pool shell.
Signs You May Have a Leak
- You add water more than once a week
- Wet or soggy spots in the yard near the pool
- A higher water bill with no other cause
- Air bubbles in the return lines
- Cracks in the plaster, tile line or deck
- A bucket test shows the pool losing more water than the bucket
Why Fix a Leak Right Away
- Lower Bills: Every inch you add costs water and chemicals.
- Fewer Big Repairs: Water escaping into the soil can shift the deck and damage the pool shell.
- Safer Water: Constant top-offs dilute your chemicals and make clear water harder to keep.
- Protected Equipment: A big leak can pull air into the system and damage the pump.
Vinyl Liner Repair
Small tears in a vinyl liner can often be patched. Older liners that are brittle, faded or pulling out of the track usually need to be replaced. We’ll tell you which one makes sense. For a full new liner, see vinyl liner replacement.
