POOLS

Pool losing water in Alicante? Check the cause

Is your pool losing water?

Are you topping up the pool repeatedly? We assess construction and waterproofing issues around the shell, joints and embedded fittings. Hidden pipe leaks require different checks and are not included in this service.

Initial guidance from photos is free. An on-site technical visit costs €85 including VAT, booked and paid in advance. The full €85 is credited if we carry out the subsequent work.

Understanding the problem

A falling water level does not identify the leak

Evaporation, use and the filtration circuit can affect the level. Tell us how much it changes, over what period, and whether it changes with filtration running.

01

Pool shell and finish

Accessible cracks and deteriorated areas are assessed. Tiles and grout do not necessarily form the pool’s waterproofing layer.

02

Lights and skimmers

Junctions around embedded fittings can be vulnerable. Any repair has to suit the adjoining materials and the actual source.

03

Joints and outlets

Local repairs are considered only when the evidence and condition support them. Regrouting alone may not address the loss.

04

Pipework and filtration

Hidden pipe leak detection, pressure testing and underwater repairs are not offered as part of this visit. Specialist involvement may be required.

Inspection on site

Agree which checks will be useful before visiting

Send level changes, photos and previous repair history. We first assess whether the problem is likely to fall within our construction and waterproofing scope.

  • Approximate level loss and observation period
  • Changes during normal filtration and use
  • Accessible shell, joints and embedded fittings
  • Whether a pool or pipework specialist is needed

One meter reading cannot establish the cause. We compare the readings with the visible pattern, surroundings and history of the problem.

Common questions

Before arranging repairs

Can you find every pool leak?

No. We assess construction and waterproofing issues. Hidden pipe leaks need appropriate specialist equipment and a separate service.

Should I empty the pool first?

No. Do not drain it just to prepare for a visit. The need and conditions for draining must be assessed first.

Can new grout solve the problem?

Not if the water is escaping through the waterproofing system, a crack or a defective junction. The cause must guide the repair.

Contact

Start with photos, the location and what happens

We check whether the issue is within our scope and whether a visit would help. Sending a message does not book or charge for a visit.

Send the town and photos in writing. We will agree the language of the visit before booking.
