Swimming Pool Leak Detection

by

It’s almost summertime, which means it’s time to get your swimming pool in shape for the warm months ahead. As you prepare for parties or a relaxing Sunday afternoon around the pool with your family, it’s important to know that your pool is ready!  But what if you notice the water level is lower then you remember?  Could it be as simple as humidity? or sun exposure? or could it be a leak?  The last thing you want is to be expecting weekend guests and you notice something is not right at the last minute.  You should always check for leaks and other problems with your pool at the beginning of summer before anyone jumps in. If you suspect a leak in your swimming pool who should you call?

ACS Underground Solutions are the Leaders in Non-Invasive Swimming Pools and Spas Leak Detection

ACS Underground Solutions is the leader in accurate, non-invasive water line leak detection. Our expertise and industry-leading technology enable us to locate all types of water leaks, including hidden swimming pool and spa leaks. We can accurately determine leak sources and can find all types of concealed leaks. Identifying leaks early can save money, reduce damage and protect property values.

Warning Signs of a Leak

Determining when your pool or spa has a leak can be challenging. Sometimes environmental factors play a role in the water level, and just because your pool’s water is lower than normal does not mean it has a leak. Wind, humidity, usage and sun exposure can impact your rate of evaporation.

Signs to Look for:

• Water bill goes up significantly
• Pool, fountain, or spa loses more than 1/4 an inch of water a day
• Cracks in or around the pool decking
• Adding water more than once per week
• Noticeable soggy areas in grass around the pool
• Pool deck is sinking or lifting

How Differently Public and Private Utility Locators Work

by

Are you planning to dig or excavate your property to build a structure, to install fencing or remove a tree?

If yes, then you would need to hire someone to do the job, but what if he tells you that he cannot dig anywhere since he does not know where the utility lines are located underground.

Without locating public and private utilities you should not let the shovel dig an inch on your property.  Otherwise, you may end up hurting yourself and destroying utility lines.

You should call on 8-1-1 for a public utility locator, who will mark out any public line like a, telephone, cable, water, traffic lights, street lights or your own utility lines on your property.

However, a public utility locator only mark out public utilities not private utilities. They will not locate private lines that run from the main line underneath your property; for example – private lines, secondary lines, septic tanks and buried lines etc. For locating these private utility lines you need to call a well equipped private utility locator.

Here is where a private utilities company comes in.

ACS Underground Solutions is a state-of-the-art private utility locating company that uses high resolution Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect underground utilities, we can scan a concrete structure, we can also find any underground storage tanks hidden under your property. A public utility locator won’t locate these for you.

You may also have natural gas, cable, electricity, fiber optic, water mains, and waste water lines running underneath your property owned by private companies.  ACS Underground Solution has a team of expert technicians who can detect any underground disturbance through GPR scanning and profiling and using various equipments. We can also provide bedrock profiling.

Before digging or excavating your property make sure you are safe and others too. Call a private utility locator along with a public utility locator to save money and avoid unnecessary hassles for all of your underground locating and surveying needs.

 

Call ASC Underground Solutions at 203.544.7190 with any questions or concerns you have about your underground utility needs.

Locating An Underground Storage Tank

by

 

WHAT DOES UST STAND FOR AND HOW DO YOU DO FIND THEM? 

It stands for Underground Storage Tank which is a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has at least 10 percent of its combined volume underground. For (UST) underground storage tank locating a considerable amount of time and expense can be saved to locate tank non-destructively utilizing our GPR services. We are able to identify and confirm the location of a previously buried drum even after it has been removed. If the underground storage tanks are buried below concrete or asphalt we can also tell you how thick the surface is and whether it is supported with rebar reinforcements, before you start to dig.

WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM?

Underground Storage Tanks (UST’s) can be located in asphalt driveways, parking lots, grassy areas, near buildings, behind garages, and just about anywhere you can imagine. If your considering buying or leasing a commercial property or buying a home you will want to know if there is a UST at that location, and you will want to get it checked out to make sure there is no leakage into the environment. It is important to identify the risk of a large environmental clean-up bill to remove the tank and the expensive task of cleaning the soil if it has been contaminated.The greatest potential hazard from a leaking UST is that the petroleum or other hazardous substance can seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater. A leaking UST can present other health and environmental risks, including the potential for fire and explosion. That is why it is important to bring in a company that can locate it and then refer you to the right people who can have it excavated if need be.

WHAT KIND OF COMPANY SHOULD I CALL TO LOCATE MY UST ON MY PROPERTY?

FIRST, it is important to call a reliable company that has the experience and can find the Underground Storage Tank accurately to determine where it is located, and a company that has the technology to determine if one has already been excavated from the area.

We are able to identify and confirm the location of a previously buried drum even after it has been removed. If the underground storage tanks are buried below concrete or asphalt we can also tell you how thick the surface is and whether it is supported with rebar reinforcements, before you start to dig. Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) we can locate Underground Storage Tanks (UST) and any associated underground piping. This non-destructive inspection and geophysical survey can determine the location and depth of a UST or provide the location of a former tank vault. We can mark on site the location of an existing or deteriorating tank prior to drilling or excavating operations.

ACS Underground Solutions provides location services for underground storage tanks (USTs) on commercial, government, institutional, and residential properties. They can reliably and accurately locate the position, depth, and size of underground storage tanks.  Often a residential home buyer hires ACS to make certain there is not an underground storage tank on the property that needs removal. There GPR technology accurately and quickly identifies the location and size of any steel, fiber glass, or plastic UST.

BENEFITS OF ACS’S EXPERTISE IN LOCATING AN UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK:

We prevent costly excavation and eliminate guess work.

TIME SAVINGS

What Is A Video Pipe Inspection?

by

WHAT IS A VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION?

Video Pipe Inspection is basically a method of how we find blockages, cracks, holes, leaks and much more in your pipes that need to be found.

HOW DOES VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION WORK?

The video camera line or inspection scope is a flexible rod with a small camera attached to the end. The camera is waterproof and dirt proof and includes an LED light that shines down the pipe as it moves. Like a drain snake, the rod is flexible enough to maneuver around even sharp turns in the pipe thus we can find cracks, or blockages that could lead to problems in the future. A video inspection can provide answers to:

  • Breaks, fractures, holes and leaks.
  • Video proof of the cause of clogs, stoppages, and backups
  • The position and depth of utility pipes and conduits
  • The location of inaccessible laterals, vaults, and termination points
  • Verification of whether existing conditions conform to the plumbing code
  • Identification of potential future problem areas
  • The pitch of sewer and drain lines

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION?

  • Eliminating the cost and time of exploratory digging
  • Reducing the labor and time involved in pipe repairs and emergencies
  • Identifying the location, cause, and size of a blockage or break
  • Eliminating future pipe issues before they become problems
  • Preventing further water damage from tree root invasion
  • Planning maintenance and cleaning
  • Preventing waste from seeping or spilling into the ground

You can vary the type of video pipe inspection ACS performs based on your needs. You can choose how complex you want the inspection to be—from field markings; field markings and digital recording; or field markings, digital recording, and a written video inspection report.
