Swimming pool leak detection in Sheffield
Swimming pool leak detection finds leaks in pools using tracer gas, pressure testing, dye testing and underwater inspection. Water loss beyond evaporation, wet ground near the surround or a pump losing prime can indicate a leak. ADI Leak Detection Sheffield tests the liner, pipework and structure separately, in one visit.

What are the signs of a swimming pool leak?
A swimming pool leak shows as a level falling faster than evaporation explains, wet ground near the surround or a pump losing prime.
- The level falling faster than an uncovered pool should lose to evaporation
- Having to top up between backwashes
- Wet ground, a soft patch or a sinkhole near the pool surround
- Air in the circulation system or a pump losing prime
- A plant room that is damp with no obvious drip
Wet ground beside a pool can also come from garden watering pipes. Irrigation leak detection tests those pipes separately from the pool circuit.
How does ADI Leak Detection Sheffield find a swimming pool leak?
Swimming pool leak detection uses tracer gas, pressure testing, dye testing and underwater inspection to locate a swimming pool leak.
Pool work has been part of ADI Leak Detection since its early years.
Measure swimming pool water loss with a bucket test
A bucket test separates evaporation from a real leak and gives a loss rate to work against.
Pressure test the pool suction and return pipes
Pressure testing checks the pool suction and return lines separately after isolation. It usually distinguishes a pipework leak from a structural leak in the first hour.
Trace pool pipe leaks with tracer gas
Tracer gas is introduced into the failing pool pipe and detected at the surface, including under paving and inside the plant room.
Inspect pool fittings underwater and test with dye
Underwater inspection checks the liner, lights, skimmers, main drain and fittings, with dye testing at every suspect joint.
Record the swimming pool leak location
Photographs record the swimming pool leak location, with video where the fault is under water or under ground.
Once the position is found, the engineer explains it on site before any repair is discussed.
What happens after a swimming pool leak is found?
Swimming pool leak repairs by ADI Leak Detection Sheffield are guaranteed.
Every leak detection visit ends with a written report by the engineer who attended, with photographs and video, formatted for trace and access and escape of water insurance claims.
- The leak position marked on site and explained before you decide anything

Pool leak
The Trustpilot review rates Matthew Barron’s work 5 out of 5.
Matt and Vince arrived to find our pool leak and methodically went through the history and symptoms of the issue. They then completed a series of pressure tests and identified the issue where previous companies had failed. On a cold day with a less than perfect pool water condition (down to us) they were professional and engaging on the fault found and the way forward. Would be happy to recommend and use them again if we need to.

We had a leak in our swimming pool which our regular pool firm had been unable to find. Conor and Matt checked the whole pool and managed to find and resolve the leak. Would highly recommend them.

What do people ask about swimming pool leak detection?
Questions about swimming pool leak detection cover three topics: the visit length, normal water loss and draining the pool.
How long does a swimming pool leak detection visit take?
The technical advisor gives you the likely time for a swimming pool leak detection visit on the call, when the service is confirmed, because the duration depends on the property and the length of the pipework.
How much water loss is normal?
An uncovered outdoor pool loses a few millimetres a day to evaporation in warm weather. A bucket test on site measures your pool against your own conditions, rather than against a general figure.
Do you drain the pool?
Swimming pool leak testing rarely needs the pool drained. Most testing uses the pressure of a full pool to make the leak show itself.
