Pool Leak Detection and Repair Fayetteville NC
If you think about it, the interior surface area of a pool is a fairly large surface, making the process of locating a leak a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, there are tools and methods developed over time that assist pool professionals with accurate leak detection and pool Repair Fayetteville NC.

In this process, plumbing lines are generally pressure tested for 24 hours at approximately 35 pounds per square inch. This part of the process is useful to locate where in a plumbing system a leak may be occurring. A pressure test alone is a fairly extensive and somewhat costly process.

Static Test

Above Ground Run and Probe
