Pool leak repair
Once the leak has a location, the repair becomes a defined job with a defined price. The argument for locating it first is entirely about how much has to be disturbed to reach it. Detection and repair are handled by the same crew, across the Space Coast and Central Florida.
The repair follows the diagnosis
A separated skimmer, a failed fitting, a cracked line and a hairline in the shell are four different repairs with four different costs. Guessing between them is how a small problem becomes a large invoice.
We repair what we find. You are not obliged to use us for the repair. The location is yours either way, and some people would rather hand it to a pool company they already use.
The decision worth making carefully is not who does the work but how much gets opened to reach it. A located leak can be reached through a small, deliberate opening. An unlocated one gets found by opening ground until it appears, and that search is usually the expensive half of the invoice rather than the repair itself.
Not every find is worth repairing immediately either. A slow loss at a fitting on a pool due for other work may be better handled together, and we will say so rather than quote it in isolation.
What the repair depends on
- Where it is
- A fitting at the equipment pad and a line under the middle of a deck are the same failure with very different access.
- What is above it
- Soil, pavers, stamped concrete and tile all cost different amounts to open and to put back.
- Whether it is one point or a run
- A single joint is a splice. A degraded run is a replacement. Testing tells us which before we quote.
- The pool's construction
- Vinyl liner, gunite, fibreglass and painted plaster each have their own repair methods and their own failure patterns.
- Putting it back
- Reinstating a surface is part of the job, not an afterthought. We say what the finish will look like before starting.
Tell us what it's doing.
Describe what you are seeing and we will tell you what it sounds like and what a visit would involve. If it is dropping fast, call. You will reach a three-person, owner-led team.
Questions people ask
Do you repair what you find, or just locate it?
Both. We repair what we locate. You are also free to take the findings to someone else.
Will the deck match afterwards?
We will tell you honestly what the reinstatement will look like before we open anything. Stamped and colored concrete is difficult to match exactly, and you should know that in advance rather than after.
What if the repair does not hold?
Come back to us. We would rather return than have you tell people it did not work.
How is this different from the leak detection visit?
Detection answers where the water is going. Repair is the work that follows once that is known. They are often the same trip, but they are different jobs, and the detection result is useful even if the repair never happens with us.
Do you repair every kind of leak?
No. What we take on depends on where it is, what is above it and how the pool is built. Where a repair is outside what we do, we say so and you still have the location.
