If we can't reach the leak from the deck we dive to do repairs. We use a punch to cut the patches from liner samples and glue and fold the patch
before taking it down to the leak. After patching is done we Leak trac pool again.

Sorry for the delayed response. We've been busy moving.
Same here. After locating all of the leaks I dive on the pool to perform the repairs. There are absolute advantages to this method.
#1 - By getting up close and personal, I can attempt to identify the cause of the leak (burr on the vac head, zipper on someone's cutoffs, cheap or
defective toy, vandalizm, etc.). This helps to alleviate the source and prevent a reaccurance.
#2 - This is the best part. By identifying the causes of the leaks, I have found that many times it is coverable by their homeowners insurance. And
the insurance covers my detection, repair, follow-up visit, full price on a new liner and install (unless they have a proration clause), replacement
water, replacement chemicals to rebalance the water, etc!!
