If your Portland pool is losing more than the normal half inch per day to evaporation, you have a leak. Pool leaks are diagnosable and repairable. The faster you find it, the smaller the repair.

WETYR Pools and our network of vetted local vendors handle leak detection across Portland and the wider Portland Metro area. Request a free quote on this page for prompt response on the bucket test, equipment pad diagnosis, return-line and suction-line leak isolation, skimmer leak, light niche leak, and structural crack assessment.

Step-by-step

Step 1: Run the bucket test first

Fill a 5-gallon bucket with pool water. Set it on the pool step so the bucket water level matches the pool water level. Mark both. Run the pump for 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket: you have a leak. If they drop the same: it is evaporation.

Step 2: Identify whether the leak is in the structure, the plumbing, or the equipment

Equipment-pad leak shows water around the pump/filter. Plumbing leak (return-line) loses water faster when the pump is running. Plumbing leak (suction-line) loses water faster when the pump is off. Structural leak loses at a steady rate regardless.

Step 3: Request a WETYR Pools quote for diagnostic

Portland leak detection uses electronic listening, dye testing, and pressure testing. WETYR Pools dispatches the right local vendor from our Portland Metro network. Our design-build team is also available for structural leak repair or full resurfacing if the diagnosis points to a major issue.
