Pool Leak Detection Experts in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

How pool leaks are repaired begins with finding the root cause. When the tech from Florida Leak Locators arrives, the first thing they do is thoroughly inspect the pool or spa and its plumbing. Then, we make a plan for repairing the leak.

Some of the most common leak repairs are:

• Fittings Leak: Leaks near the pool’s lights, faceplates, or jets can usually be temporarily patched by applying a two-part pool epoxy
• Plumbing Leaks: These can be cracked or broken underground pipes located outside the pool shell. This requires a licensed contractor such as Florida Leak Locators, who is experienced in pinpointing leaks and pool repair, so you get it fixed properly the first time. Sometimes, the only option is to dig around the pool’s foundation to replace the section of broken pipe.
• Main Drain Leaks: Many leaks in a pool’s main drain are located in the sump itself. Applying a temporary epoxy patch can stop the leak and a more permanent repair can be done in the near future. However, if you have a broken main drain pipe many times you can plug it and turn it off at the equipment side to prevent further leaking while waiting for the repair
• Skimmer Leak: This may be patched with epoxy for a temporary fix until the skimmer can be replaced

The longer you wait to repair a pool or spa leak, the worse it will get. You may end up with sky-high water bills too.
