Pool Leak Repair in Southwest Florida
We found your leak. Now we fix it right, with precision, minimal disruption, and work that lasts.
Targeted Repairs. Not a Full Renovation.
When most homeowners hear "pool leak repair," they picture a crew with a backhoe tearing up their brand-new pavers. That is not how we work. We do not own a backhoe. We do not re-pipe pools. We do not resurface or renovate. What we do is locate the exact source of your leak and make a precise, targeted repair with the smallest possible footprint.
Most under-deck repairs are completed through an access opening no larger than 10 by 12 inches. Skimmer replacements require an opening of approximately 24 by 27 inches. We get in, fix the problem, and get out, leaving your property as close to how we found it as possible.
What We Repair
We cover a full range of pool leak repairs related to the pool structure, plumbing, and equipment. Every repair is performed by our experienced technicians using proven methods.
Under-Deck Repairs
When a plumbing line leaks beneath your deck or in the ground, we access it through a small, precise opening, typically 10 by 12 inches. No backhoe. No full deck removal. We repair the line, restore the area, and you keep your pavers.
Wall Fitting Replacements
Return fittings, eyeball fittings, and other wall penetrations can crack, separate, or deteriorate over time, creating a direct leak path into the surrounding soil. We core out the failed fitting and install a new one with a proper seal.
Light Niche Replacements
The light niche is the housing where your pool light sits. When the niche cracks or the conduit seal fails, it becomes a significant leak source. We replace the niche using a circular core method, a clean, precise approach that avoids the large square cuts used by many other contractors.
Skimmer Replacements
A cracked or separated skimmer is one of the most common sources of pool water loss. Skimmer replacements require an access opening of approximately 24 by 27 inches. We remove the failed skimmer, install a new one with a proper bond to the pool shell, and restore the deck surface.
Crack Repairs
Structural cracks in the pool shell, whether hairline or more significant, we use several different proven methods depending on the severity of the crack. We use a combination of steel, carbon fiber and hydraulic cement to repair cracks. We document every crack with photos before and after repair so you have a clear record of the work performed.
Equipment Replacements
When a pump, heater, or filter is the source of a leak, we replace it. We do not rebuild or repair internal equipment components. We remove the failing unit and install a new one, straightforward, reliable, and done right the first time.
How We Work: Precision Over Destruction
Our repair methods are designed to fix the problem with the smallest possible impact on your property. Here is what sets our approach apart.
Circular Core Cuts, Not Square Holes
Many contractors cut large square holes around fittings and light niches. We use circular core cutting, which creates a smaller, cleaner opening that is easier to restore and causes less damage to the surrounding surface. The result is a better-looking repair and less disruption to your deck.
Minimal Access Openings
We do not own a backhoe. We do not tear up entire decks. Most under-deck plumbing repairs are completed through an access opening of approximately 10 by 12 inches. Skimmer replacements require approximately 24 by 27 inches. We make the smallest opening necessary to do the job correctly.
Replace, Don't Patch Equipment
When pool equipment is the source of a leak, we replace the unit entirely. We do not attempt to rebuild or repair internal components. A new pump, heater, or filter installed correctly will outlast any temporary fix and gives you a clean warranty on the new equipment.
Photo Documentation Throughout
Every repair is photographed before, during, and after the work. You receive a written record of exactly what was found, what was done, and the condition of the repair at completion. No guesswork. No he-said-she-said. Just clear documentation you can keep on file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often about pool leak repairs.
Do you have to tear up my entire deck to do a repair?
No. We do not own a backhoe and we do not tear up entire decks. Most under-deck repairs are completed through a small access opening of approximately 10 by 12 inches. Skimmer replacements require an opening of approximately 24 by 27 inches. We make the smallest possible opening to access the repair, complete the work, and restore the area. If you just spent $20,000 on new pavers, they are staying put.
How long does a pool leak repair take?
Most common repairs are completed in a single day. Certain repairs, such as complex under-deck plumbing or equipment replacements, may require a second visit. We will give you a clear timeline before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you have to drain the pool to make repairs?
It depends on the repair. Some repairs require us to lower the water level to access the work area. We do not necessarily drain the pool completely. We will let you know in advance whether your specific repair requires any water level adjustment.
Do you repair pool equipment or replace it?
We replace pool equipment. When a pump, heater, or filter is the source of a leak, we remove the failing component and install a new one. We do not rebuild or repair internal equipment components, and we do not work on automation or control systems. Think of it as plug and play, out with the old, in with the new.
Do you offer financing for pool leak repairs?
Yes. We understand that pool repairs can be unexpected. We offer financing options through Wisetack so that an unplanned repair does not have to become a financial burden. Don't let the cost of a necessary repair keep you waiting. Ask us about financing options when you call.
What is the difference between pool leak detection and pool leak repair?
Pool leak detection is the diagnostic process. We find exactly where the leak is and what is causing it. Pool leak repair is the fix. In many cases, we perform both on the same visit. Simple structural leaks are often patched with epoxy during the detection visit at no additional cost. Larger repairs, such as skimmer replacements, under-deck plumbing, or equipment replacements, are quoted separately and scheduled as a follow-up.
