Leak Service

Pool Leak Detection & Repair in Sarasota

A pool losing more than a quarter inch of water per day is leaking — that's hundreds of gallons a week and chemicals washing into the soil. We pinpoint the source without draining your pool using sonar listening, pressure testing, and dye work on every suspected line. Then we fix it: plumbing repairs, skimmer rebuilds, structural crack injection, light niche reseals. Most leaks are found in a single visit; the repair is scheduled the same week.

Bucket Test First

We confirm the actual loss rate before billing for detection.

2

Electronic Listening

Geophone scans every plumbing line under deck and slab.

3

Pressure & Dye Test

Confirms shell cracks, skimmer leaks, light niche failures.

What's Included

  • Bucket test & loss-rate measurement (we confirm a leak before billing for detection)
  • Electronic listening (geophone) for plumbing-line leaks under deck and slab
  • Pressure testing on suction, return, main drain & cleaner lines
  • Dye testing for shell cracks, skimmer throats, and light niches
  • Plumbing repair, skimmer rebuilds, structural crack injection, light niche reseals
  • Written report with photo evidence and recommended repair scope

When to Call Us

Water drops faster than evaporation — more than a quarter inch per day. You see wet spots around the deck, the autofill is running constantly, or there are persistent air bubbles at returns. Any one of those is enough to schedule us.

A small plumbing leak found in week one is a 90-minute repair. The same leak six months later has eroded fill under the deck, lifted pavers, and inflated three water bills. The early call saves the structural fix nobody wants to pay for.

Equipment Service

Pool Equipment Repair & Replacement

Sarasota pool with serviced variable-speed pump and chlorinator running quietly behind the deck

Pool pumps typically last 8–12 years in Florida; salt cells 3–7. When equipment dies, you want a licensed contractor who can diagnose the root cause (not just sell you a new pump) and get the replacement plumbed, wired, and certified the same day where possible.

We service every major brand

Pentair Hayward Jandy Polaris

Common replacement parts kept in our trucks — same-day install where possible.

What We Repair & Replace

  • Pool pumps — single-speed, dual-speed, and variable-speed (VS) upgrades
  • Filters — cartridge, sand, and DE; full media swaps
  • Salt chlorinator cells, control boards, and flow sensors
  • Automation systems — Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy iAquaLink
  • LED pool lights, transformers, and niche replacements
  • Valves, check valves, unions, and plumbing reconfigurations

Repair or Replace?

Our rule: if the repair quote is more than 50% of replacement cost and the unit is past the midpoint of its expected life, we recommend replacement. Anything else, we fix. You get the math in writing before any work begins.

For reference: variable-speed pumps run 10–12 years on average, sand filters 15+ years (with new media every 5), salt cells 3–7 years, and heaters 8–12. If your equipment is past those ranges and breaking down often, it's usually cheaper to replace once than repair twice.

Heating

Pool Heater Installation & Replacement

Heated Sarasota pool warming swimmers into late evening on a cool Florida night

Heat pumps and gas heaters do different jobs. In Florida, a heat pump is almost always the right call: it keeps the pool at swimming temperature year-round at roughly a quarter of the operating cost of a gas heater.

Gas still wins when you need to heat a spa from cold in under an hour, or when you only use the pool a few weekends a year. We size, install, and replace both — and tell you honestly which one fits how you actually use the pool.

What's Included

  • Heat pump installation — Pentair UltraTemp, Hayward HeatPro, Aquacal
  • Natural gas & propane heater installation — Pentair MasterTemp, Hayward Universal H-Series
  • Sizing calc based on pool surface area, target temp, and wind exposure (no guesswork)
  • Electrical disconnect, breaker, and 50–70 amp wiring (licensed in-house)
  • Gas line tie-in, permitting, and final inspection
  • Integration with existing automation & remote control

Heat Pump or Gas?

Heat pump — best for year-round swimming. Slower to heat up (24–48 hours from cold) but the operating cost is roughly $40–80/month vs. $300+/month for gas at the same temperature.

Gas heater — best for spas and occasional pool use. Hits target temp in under an hour. Expensive to run continuously, but unbeatable when you want a hot spa on Friday night without thinking ahead.
