The great news about local swimming pools: Sarasota weather allows you to use them pretty much year-round.
The bad news about local swimming pools: Sarasota weather allows them to spring leaks year-round. And any time you wait on swimming pool repairs is costly time. That’s because the seemingly basic issue of water leaking from your pool is actually a major problem—one that will continue to get worse, and quickly, without expert intervention.
That’s why you need someone who not only performs Sarasota pool repairs, but who works with pools all the time, period. As Sarasota’s best pool service company, we also consider ourselves Sarasota’s best pool repair company.
We know pools—how to keep them in tip-top shape, and how to get them back in working order when things go awry.
Where Do Pool Leaks Happen?
When you have that much water in one place, things can go wrong.
There are several different kinds of leaks that can affect your pool.
Superficial Leaks: These are relatively small cracks or holes in your pool. Still, they need to be dealt with quickly and effectively, or they will get worse.
Structural Leaks: These cracks in your pool’s foundation occur especially due to shifting earth underneath and around your pool—a common problem in Florida’s soft, moist, sandy terrain. What’s scarier still is that structural leaks feed off themselves. As more water seeps into the earth, the earth shifts more, causing a bigger leak.
Vinyl Liner Leaks: Pools with vinyl liners are susceptible to cracking or warping with age.
Plumbing Leaks: These often occur due to failures in the seams joining pipes and other motorized equipment that keeps water flowing through your pool filter. The filter and motor can also be sources of plumbing leaks.
How Do You Perform Sarasota Pool Leak Repair?
We have a number of options for repairing a leak, depending on where it is, how big it is, and your pool’s material.
We may simply be able to use a vinyl or plaster patch to solve superficial leaks. We also have the option of using an underwater epoxy, which is awesome because you don’t even have to drain your pool for us to fix the leak. Issues with vinyl liners often require a full liner replacement. And of course, we perform lots of plumbing repairs as well, including patching pipes and pipe joins, and replacing faulty filters and motors.
How Do I Go About Repairing My Pool Leak?
Of course, the first step to fixing a pool leak is to know that you have one. These costly issues often go unnoticed by homeowners. And if you spend long periods of time away from your Sarasota pool, leaks can flow undetected for months.
The key to detecting a leak—and other pool issues—is regular service from an expert pool company technician. We hire Sarasota pool technicians who are official and up-to-date Certified Pool Operators (CPO), which means they undergo recertification every five years to stay up-to-date on the latest pool technology, regulations, and maintenance techniques.
