Brunswick County
Pool leak detection in Leland
Leak Locators East Coast serves Leland, North Carolina, and other parts of Brunswick County. Our work starts with diagnosis: we find where the water is going, and then you decide what to do next. We locate or narrow down the source before any concrete, decking or ground is opened for repair. Although Leland is close to Wilmington, it is in Brunswick County, along with Southport, Oak Island, Shallotte and Ocean Isle Beach. Each of these is a confirmed service area in its own right.
Method
How the leak is located
We use specialized leak detection equipment to narrow down the source. Acoustic listening tools and pressure testing systems help isolate the leak to a line, fitting, section or specific area. The same methods let us investigate underground lines without digging to look for the problem. Ruling out parts of the system early means the repair is priced on evidence rather than a guess.
A typical Leland inspection follows this process.
Detect
We confirm the pool is losing water and rule out evaporation. Then we isolate each plumbing line and pressure-test it; a line that will not hold pressure is the one with the problem.
Locate
Acoustic listening equipment narrows the leak down to one point along the line, and we mark the surface above it. Nothing is opened to find the leak.
Repair
The repair needs only a small opening at the marked point. If you schedule it with us, the same crew that found the leak makes the repair, and your written report covers what was tested, found and fixed.
