Swimming Pool Plumbing Leak Repair
This is a great example of what tree roots can do to your pool plumbing. With roots we sometimes find the break right where the root is pushing down on or crushing the line. Other times the stress is transferred several feet away to a joint that finally cracks like the picture below. Cracking decks and general settling of the earth around a pool can all contribute to broken plumbing lines. The advantage of using us to pinpoint a break in your plumbing is that you won’t have large areas of your deck or yard torn up in the normal trial and error method of finding a pool leak.

Below is a PVC Pipe that split. The material coming out of the split was where someone attempted to use a material to line the inside of the pipe. As you can see this didn’t work. The inner diameter of the pipe was also severely restricted from the material they had injected to try to stop the leak. We were called in to pinpoint the break, cut out the bad section of line, re-plumb it with new pipe and remove the stress that was causing the damage to the pipe.
