Leak specialist is a person working in the pool leak detection industry, which is a niche section of the broader pool building and maintanance industry. Most pool owners need a leak specialist for their pool only several times during the life of their pool. So how do you find a pool leak detector when you need one? One of the most common terms that people type in when looking for a leak detector is “pool leak specialist near me”. This search usually leads them to our website, and one of the first questions they ask when calling is why I need a pool leak specialist, why can’t my pool guy find and fix the leak in my pool?
There are many reasons why a pool leak specialist can help when your pool guy can’t, but it all boils down to two main ones, specialized knowledge and unique tools needed for locating and repairing a pool leak. Pool leak detectors have the needed knowledge that stems from their experience in locating pool leaks, and it takes months of training and years of experience to become a good pool leak detector. Usage of unique, industry specific tools is another reason why you’re better off by calling a leak specialist rather than a pool professional. These tools are expensive, and it takes years to get good at using these tools, so a pool guy that uses them once in few months will never become as proficient in using these tools as a pool leak specialist that uses them every day of the week. Some of specialized tools a leak detector specialist might use are pressure testing equipment, ultrasonic listeners, correlators, vinyl liner leak locators, etc.
If your pool is losing water, do not hesitate to call a pool leak specialist. If you don’t, you might end up paying more in water bills, fees that other pool companies will charge you even though they didn’t find the leak, not to mention the fact that you might permanently damage the pool shell by letting your pool leak wash away the ground around the pool walls and floor. When a pool is leaking, waiting is not a real option so give your nearby leak specialist a call, your pool and your wallet will thank you in both short and long term.
