Pool Patcher locates pipe leaks underground with precision! But, we personally do not repair underground pipes.
We work with a great company that we will refer you to to have that location repaired once it is located. Like other TRUE leak detection companies we are devoted to locating underground pipe leaks and referring pipe repairs to a great company.
Do you suspect your swimming pool may be leaking?
We do have a test that you can perform, on your own free of charge, to see if in fact your pool is leaking or if its just evaporation.
This free test that you can run yourself can save you hundreds of dollars preventing a leak detection company from charging you unnecessary fees.
Generally speaking, average evaporation is between 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch per day (24 hours) but, this greatly varies per property and by season.
We highly encourage everyone to perform this test and ensure you have a leak before hiring us or any other company.
HONESTY FIRST!
Can you Patch Gunite and Fiberglass Pools? YES. but..:
Things other companies WONT tell you:
Patching Gunite or Fiberglass pools is not like patching liner pools. Why? Fiberglass and gunite pools require different materials. Materials used to patch these types of pools breaks down over time unlike liner repair materials, so the patch repair on your gunite pool will need to be redone sometime in the future, typically between 1-3 years.
Fiberglass pool patch material is almost the same at the gunite pool patch repair, except you run into other problems. When fiberglass pools settle they bend and crack. Even if you patch a crack in a fiberglass pool, the pool is still bending, stressing, and settling. This patch will alsol break down over time, but the problem still exists. The fiberglass pool will continue to settle, causing the crack to grow longer. This can happen within days or months, but will most likely happen and will need another repair.
Patch work on fiberglass and gunite pools is a great short term fix allowing you to let you enjoy a season or two, but the only real way to permanently fix the issue is to have the pool resurfaced.
Liner patches can last many years. Keep in mind with use of a liner pool, cleaning, over using chemicals, and automated vacuums ie; dolphins, can shorten this time frame. For this reason we can only warranty our liner patches for the current season the patches have been applied, and are not able to extend this warranty any further.
