Australian Leak Detection detects and repairs pool leaks, the only repair service we offer. Once we locate the leak with specialist detection technology, our team can patch structural cracks, replace burst plumbing sections, seal equipment penetrations, or replace failed fittings. You get one expert team handling diagnosis and repair, reducing delays, miscommunication, and ongoing water loss.
The only repair service ALD offers: pool leak repair after specialist detection.
Pool leak repair is the process of stopping water loss from a pool, spa, or water feature by addressing the actual source of the leak. Repairs vary widely depending on the leak type: structural repairs, plumbing repairs, equipment repairs, and fitting repairs. A proper repair must be preceded by accurate detection to identify exactly what needs fixing. Pool leaks don't follow a standard template.
Your pool is losing visible amounts of water every day
Water loss has been confirmed by your pool tech or a leak detection specialist
You've had previous repairs attempted but the water loss continues
Structural cracks are visible in the pool shell, coping, or surrounding concrete
Your pool equipment shows signs of failure: loose fittings, water spraying, reduced pressure
Damp or muddy patches are appearing around the pool surrounds or equipment area
Your pool was built more than 15 years ago and has never had a major repair
Pool repair isn't about doing what's cheapest. It's about stopping the leak permanently. We repair it correctly the first time.

For pool leak repair (varies widely by leak type and location).
In most cases, yes. Structural cracks and plumbing ruptures can be repaired with the pool full or partially lowered. Some fitting and light repairs may benefit from the pool being lowered to that specific level. A full drain is rarely necessary for repair. Your technician will advise on water level requirements during the repair planning stage.
We provide a warranty on labour and materials for 12 months from completion. If the repair fails during that period due to poor workmanship or faulty materials on our side, we return and re-repair at no charge. Some structural repairs may have longer warranties depending on the method and materials used — we’ll detail this in your completion report.
It depends on the leak type and repair scope. A simple crack seal might take 2–4 hours. A plumbing line replacement could take a full day or more if excavation is required. We'll give you a timeline estimate before starting so you know what to expect.
Most repairs won't significantly affect chemistry. If we drain a section or add sealant, some chlorine may escape and you may need to re-balance slightly — we'll advise on this before starting. For safety, you should retest your pool chemistry after any structural work, but this is routine pool maintenance, not a major disruption.
It happens, especially in older pools. During detection, we identify all leak points. We can repair them all at once or prioritise the worst first. Repairing them all together is usually more efficient and cost-effective than multiple return visits.
Pools naturally lose about 2mm of water per day to evaporation. Anything more signals a leak. We use pressure testing, dye injection, and pipe scanning to pinpoint the exact location — in the plumbing or the structure. Reports help you plan repairs and contact pool specialists.
