Pool Leak Detection. Pay now or pay much more later…
 
A potential customer had a leak in his pool all summer. He called us at Atlantic Leak Detection at least 3 or 4 times for advice but never hired us to take care of his pool leak.  He was warned that the pool leak needed to get resolved before the end of season.  He decided to just plug all of the pool plumbing lines, cover and winterize his swimming pool and worry about the leak repair in the spring. He said the pool leak had to be somwhere in the pool plumbing lines anyway so no water would leak past the plugs over the winter season. The only problem with that, is he guessed WRONG! Atlantic Leak Detection warned him in conversation that the pool leak may be a pool main drain leak or a pool liner leak but he was certain that it was in the other pool plumbing lines.
 
The sad conclusion was the pool leak was not in any of the lines he plugged. Hence the pool continued to drain under the cover and got so low that the liner tore away from the wall from not having water pressure and the actual wall of the pool shifted out from the soil freezing then thawing. He called us to let us know what happend and said he fixed the pool after spending over $5000 to get it back in shape. The crazy part of this pool leak detection saga is he called us back again to let us know he still had a pool leak somewhere. The crazier part is he still hasnt hired Atlantic to perform a professional pool leak detection for him to locate his pool leak! Go figure.

Pool, sprinkler leaks can bring costly surprise

Andy Reid, Sun Sentinel

Sometimes it takes getting soaked with water-bill sticker shock for homeowners to find out about a leaking backyard pool or sprinkler system. A leak the width of a dime in an underground sprinkler line can waste 6,300 gallons of water per month — doubling typical water use on some household water bills.

ROSEBURG, Ore. – The water department in Roseburg is stumped. It’s been losing 2 million gallons a day to a leak that workers haven’t been able to trace.

Get your paperwork in order before you dig yourself into a hole

CHESTERVILLE – Planting a tree? Digging a swale? Firing up the post-hole auger behind that old Massey Ferguson for a bit of fence-line improvement on the back forty? The farmer or contractor doing the digging had better possess a paperwork “locate” in his back pocket before breaking ground, or face a fine of $700 and as much as $10,000. Many may not know it, but moving dirt around – even on private property – has become a more complicated affair for farmers, rural landowners and tile-drainage contractors. Enforcement appears to have gradually ramped up on a decades-old Ontario law requiring the notification of utility owners before any type of digging – even with hand shovels – is permitted on any type of land anywhere in the province.

At a first glance, the sculpture across from the Facilities Services building looks like a pipe leak with water pouring out, but with closer observation it becomes clear that it’s purposely leaking water. The artist who created the unique piece is Steve Linn, and it is named Pasadena Watermain Break.

When a water pipe bursts in the basement or bathroom of a house, there’s not much hesitation about what to do: stop the flow, get the leak fixed.

But what if a municipal water pipe has a long, slow leak deep beneath the surface of the ground? Millions and millions of litres could seep away unnoticed for years.
