Is Your Swimming Pool Losing Water?
If your swimming pool water level keeps dropping, the problem could be a hidden leak, structural crack or damaged pool shell. Our experienced team will identify the cause and recommend the most effective repair before unnecessary damage occurs.
Know the Warning Signs
6 Signs Your Swimming Pool May Have a Leak
Some water loss is normal, especially during hot weather, but a pool that needs constant topping up may have a leak. These are some of the most common warning signs to look out for.
Constantly Topping Up Water
If you are adding water every few days, your swimming pool could be losing more water than normal evaporation can explain.
Water Level Keeps Dropping
A water level that falls noticeably or repeatedly settles at the same point can indicate an active leak.
Visible Cracks
Cracks in fibreglass, marbelite or the pool structure can allow water to escape and may become worse if left untreated.
Wet Areas Around the Pool
Persistent damp paving, soft ground or unusually wet areas around the pool may indicate water escaping below the surface.
Higher Water Bills
A hidden pool leak can waste a surprising amount of water, especially when the pool is being topped up continuously.
Pool Surface Damage
Blisters, damaged fibreglass, deteriorating marbelite or other surface problems can sometimes accompany water loss.

From Water Loss to Repair
How We Approach a Swimming Pool Leak Repair
A leaking swimming pool needs more than a quick patch. The first step is understanding where the water is being lost, then addressing the actual cause before restoring the pool.
Monitor the Water Level
If your swimming pool water level continues to drop beyond normal evaporation, it may indicate a hidden leak. Monitoring where the water stabilises can provide an important clue to where the problem may be located.
The pool is inspected for visible signs of water loss, damage and areas that may require further investigation before a repair is recommended.
Locate and Repair the Leak
Once the source of the water loss has been identified, the affected area can be carefully opened to access the damaged pipe, fitting or pool component.
The necessary repair is completed before the surrounding area is reinstated and the pool is prepared for refilling.
Refill and Enjoy Your Pool Again
Once the repair work has been completed and the affected area restored, the swimming pool can be refilled and returned to normal use.
Whether the problem involved underground plumbing, fittings or another repair issue, the goal is to stop unnecessary water loss and restore normal pool operation.
Pool Leak Questions Answered
What Homeowners Often Ask About Pool Leaks
If your pool is losing water, it is natural to have questions. These are some of the most common concerns homeowners have before arranging a leak assessment or repair.
Some water loss is normal because of evaporation, especially during hot or windy weather. If you are constantly topping up the pool or the water level is dropping noticeably over a short period, it may be worth having the pool assessed for a possible leak.
Evaporation usually causes gradual water loss that varies with the weather. A possible leak may cause the water level to fall more quickly, repeatedly drop to the same level or be accompanied by damp areas, cracks or other signs around the pool.
Yes. Cracks in the pool shell, fibreglass or marbelite can sometimes allow water to escape. The correct repair depends on the type of pool, the extent of the crack and the underlying cause.
They can. Fibreglass pools may develop cracks, delamination, damaged fittings or other problems that contribute to water loss. Depending on the condition of the pool, a targeted repair or more extensive fibreglass restoration may be recommended.
Water loss in a marbelite pool may be related to cracks, structural movement, fittings, plumbing or deterioration elsewhere in the pool. The cause should be assessed before deciding whether a local repair or broader resurfacing work is required.
Where the source of the water loss is related to damaged pool plumbing, fittings or accessible pipework, the affected area can be opened and repaired as required. The repair recommendation will depend on what is found during the assessment.
