Yes! Here's great news many pool owners miss: Most home and pool insurance policies in South Africa cover professional leak detection costs when a leak is confirmed.

How I Find Pool Leaks in Cape Town
Using specialized leak detection equipment, I pinpoint exactly where your pool is losing water – without excavation, drilling, or damaging your pool area. My non-invasive methods combine several proven detection technologies:
- Fluorescent Dye Analysis – Safe colored tracers reveal water movement patterns and leak locations
- Pipe Camera Systems – Visual inspection of pool pipes
- Specialised Tracer Gas Detection – Tracks leaks through concrete, underneath paving, and underground pipes
- Thermal Smoke Analysis – Reveals hidden cracks, gaps, and structural weaknesses
- Advanced Acoustic Equipment – Detects leak sounds through pool structures and plumbing systems
This high-tech approach means I can zero in on the exact problem area without messy excavation or guesswork. Your pool area stays completely intact while I work, and you get precise answers about where your water is going.
You'll have your detailed report ready the next day – usually before I even leave your property. This thorough documentation pinpoints the leak location, explains what's happening, includes photographic evidence, and gives you everything needed to get accurate repair quotes or submit your insurance claim.
Why Act Fast on Pool Leaks?
A small leak can waste 10,000+ litres monthly, costing you hundreds in water bills. Beyond the immediate expense, undetected pool leaks can cause serious problems.
The Hidden Costs of Delaying:
- Undermine pool structures, paving, and foundations
- Damage surrounding landscaping and gardens
- Create sinkholes or subsidence in your yard
- Increase exponentially over time as cracks widen
- Lead to far more expensive structural repairs if left unchecked
- Waste precious water resources in drought-prone Cape Town
Early detection saves you money and prevents structural damage to your property. What starts as a small leak can quickly become a major repair project affecting your entire pool area.
