Pool Repair Recommendation
Posted on 8/3/22 at 4:03 pm

I have an inground vinyl liner pool that either has a leak or I’m having groundwater issues. Either way I may need someone to do some work on the pool. I’ve fought this battle with my pool for years and I’ve found that most pool guys are very unreliable, kind of like the last guy I used. Anyone have a recommendation for someone to call? I’m in Prairieville.

Call American Leak Detection (225) 330-7085 and have them locate the source of the issue. Either go with their recommendation on who to call to fix your issue or attempt it yourself.

Call a reputable pool guy instead of what the industry calls “one pokers”. (a guy with a truck with one pool pole hanging out the bed)
I hear Sibley Pools is good. That’s who I’m calling if I have a problem I can’t deal with myself.
Don’t call ALD unless you’re convinced you have an underground plumbing leak!
Also don’t call Sabine or Longanekers both are crooks. Leslies and pinch a penny don’t have personell to handle this either

Can you feel a squishy action where the floor meets the wall?
Use some goggles to check all the wall fittings skimmers lights etc
Turn off the pump get in pool alone and squirt some phenol red around the fittings. If it is a leak you can see the red leak out. If the red dissipates that area sn’t leaking. Check the step are really well
Good Luck and ask more questions if needed

You have pictures of your set up? Is there poolcrete under the vinyl liner? Are you close to rivers/ponds? Ground water can definitely float a liner or if you do not have good drainage in the area around your pool it will float it. You said you’ve been down this road before so to get the wrinkles out you can pump the pool down and suck it back down with a qvac. I mean it could be a million different things. Some pictures and I could help you try and diagnose what the problem is.
