Pool Leak Repair in Winnipeg: Fast Leak Detection, Liner & Plumbing Fixes

When your pool starts dropping, you want answers, fast. At Leak Detection Manitoba, we take your pool leak repair from precise mark-outs to the final fix, so you get back to clear water and calm weekends.

Is your swimming pool losing water?

A swimming pool can lose a little to evaporation, but a steady drop means a pool is leaking. Watch for:

• Falling pool water level overnight
• Visible moisture around equipment or plumbing lines
• Air bubbles in returns, or a gurgling pool pump
• Damp spots near the skimmer or deck cracks

If your pool is losing water, act early, saving yourself a huge headache and protecting decking, soil, and your plumbing system.

What happens during mark-outs and pool leak detection?

Our process starts with non-destructive leak detection. We map and “mark-out” likely sources using acoustic tools, tracer dyes, and pressure gauges. This focused pool leak detection lets our technician open only what’s needed, not your whole yard.

“Responsive, clear, and effective,recommend this company for fast leak finds.”

Pressure test or dye test, what comes first?

We confirm each line with a pressure test. If pressure won’t hold, we isolate the section and retest to find the exact location. For the pool liner or fittings, we add a dye test to pinpoint the pull.

DIY check while you wait:

• Do a bucket test to separate evaporation from leaks.
• Inspect the skimmer throat and faceplate screws.
• Use a garden hose to refill to the tile line and track how far it falls in 24 hours.

Vinyl liner or pipes, where is the leak?

Leaks can live in the vinyl liner, a wall fitting, the main drain pot, or the liner or pipes. With a vinyl pool liner, tiny tears hide in corners and near steps. In plumbing, bad glue joints, corrosion, or root pressure can cause failures.

What do air bubbles and a noisy pool pump tell you?

• Air bubbles at the returns often point to suction-side leaks (before the pump).
• A straining pool pump may mean clogged baskets, low pool water, or a suction leak.
• High filter PSI can hint at a downstream restriction after the pump.

In-ground or above-ground, does the repair change?

An inground pool often requires small deck cuts at the mark-out for access. For above-ground systems, plumbing is visible, so repairs can be even faster. Either way, we target only what’s needed and restore surfaces neatly.

Repair options: patch, new liner, or section of plumbing lines?

Depending on findings, we may:

• Repair a small vinyl liner tear with a color-matched patch
• Install a new liner if age and damage are widespread
• Replace a section of plumbing lines and re-plumb fittings
• Refresh seals at the skimmer or return

We also address equipment issues, from seals to new equipment installs that improve efficiency.
