💧 Pool Leak Detection & Skimmer Replacement FAQs
How do I know if my pool has a leak?
A leak may be present if you notice your water level dropping more than 1/4 inch per day, air bubbles in the return jets, wet spots in the yard, or unexplained increases in your water bill. These are clear signs to schedule professional pool leak detection.
⸻
Can a leaking skimmer cause water loss?
Yes—leaking or cracked skimmers are one of the most common causes of pool water loss. Over time, the skimmer throat or box can separate from the pool wall or deteriorate, allowing water to escape. Our team can identify and replace faulty skimmers quickly and professionally.
⸻
What is involved in professional leak detection?
At Florida Pool Tech, we use sonar technology, pressure testing, and dye tests to accurately locate leaks—whether in plumbing lines, skimmers, the pool shell, or equipment. Our non-invasive methods ensure precision without damaging your pool unnecessarily.
⸻
What happens during a skimmer replacement?
We remove the damaged skimmer, inspect surrounding areas, and install a brand-new skimmer with a watertight seal. Concrete or deck restoration is included as needed to ensure both function and appearance are restored to like-new condition.
⸻
How long does leak detection or skimmer replacement take?
Leak detection usually takes 1–2 hours. Skimmer replacement can be completed within a few hours to a full day depending on the pool design and access. We’ll give you a clear timeline and estimate after our on-site inspection.
