Leaking Swimming Pool in Harrison Charter Township?
8/30/2022 (Permalink)
Our team in Mount Clemens and New Baltimore responds to many water damage emergencies every year in Harrison Charter Township. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that leaking swimming pools waste thousands of gallons of water each month and can weaken the pool’s structure and a home’s foundation if they remain undetected. Here are some tips from the EPA to detect swimming pool leaks:
- Grab a clear container and a marker
- During the test period, turn off the pool auto-fill, do not manually add water to the pool, and avoid splashing water out of the pool
- Put the container on the pool steps and mark the water level on the outside of the container
- Now, fill the container with pool water up to the mark you just made so the levels match
- Mark the water level inside the container
- Now, wait and give evaporation time to work, usually two to three days. You’ll have to perform the test again if it rains or is windy.
- Place the container on the pool steps. If the water in the pool is lower than the water in the container, you have a leak
- If both the pool level and the container water levels are the same, you do not have a leak
