Once we've pinpointed your pool leak in Lanzarote using our swimming pool leak detection service, our experienced repair team can fix it properly. We specialise in all types of swimming pool leak repairs, ensuring your pool is watertight and ready to use.
Types of Pool Leaks We Repair
Pool leaks come in many forms, and each type requires a different repair approach:
Structural Shell Cracks: Over time, Lanzarote's volcanic ground movement, thermal expansion cycles, and natural settling can create fractures in concrete or gunite shells. These cracks allow water to seep gradually into the surrounding ground. We use epoxy resin injection and specialist underwater repair compounds to seal structural cracks without needing to drain the pool.
Plumbing Joints & Pipework: Connections between PVC pipes, returns, skimmers, and the pump are vulnerable points. Adhesives degrade, O-rings harden, and threaded connections loosen with vibration. We excavate only where necessary, repair or replace damaged sections, and pressure test to confirm every fix.
Fittings: Skimmers, Returns & Lights: The seals around these shell-penetrating elements deteriorate with chemical exposure and UV radiation. We replace gaskets, reseal fittings, or swap entire components as needed.
Liner Tears: In lined pools, rips and punctures allow water to escape behind the liner. We apply underwater vinyl patches or replace entire liner sections.
Our Process: From Detection to Repair
Before any repair, we confirm the exact leak location using multiple techniques: pressure testing to isolate the affected section, dye testing to visualise water flow, acoustic listening with hydrophones to detect escaping water, and thermal imaging to identify temperature anomalies in the structure.
Lanzarote-Specific Challenges
Repairing pools in Lanzarote presents unique challenges not found in continental climates:
• Volcanic terrain: Basalt bedrock and loose picón create irregular ground movements that stress pool structures differently from conventional clay soils • Intense UV exposure: Constant solar radiation degrades rubber gaskets, sealants, and exposed PVC pipework far faster than in northern Europe • Mineral-rich water: Lanzarote's desalinated water has a particular mineral profile that can accelerate corrosion of certain materials if chemical balance isn't properly maintained • Thermal expansion: Day-to-night temperature swings cause expansion and contraction cycles that fatigue joints and connections over time
What the Customer Receives
Every repair includes: a detailed technical report with before-and-after photographs, documented post-repair pressure testing, a written quality guarantee, and preventative maintenance recommendations. All materials used are professional-grade, specifically designed for the Lanzarote climate and pool chemical environment.
Complete Service: As Lanzarote's leak detection specialists, we offer a complete detection-to-repair service. This means one company, one responsibility, and no finger-pointing between contractors.
