How Long Does It Take to Repair a Pool Leak?

If you discover a pool leak, your first question might be, How long will it take to fix? Repair times vary based on the type of pool leak and its complexity. At LeakXperts, we focus on fast, efficient solutions.

For example, John noticed his pool losing water quickly. We identified a small crack in the floor and repaired it within hours. While some repairs are quick, more complex leaks, such as structural or plumbing leaks, may take longer.

Factors Affecting Pool Leak Repair Time

We fix small cracks or issues near the pump, filter, or surface within hours. Josh in Florida noticed a crack near his pump, and we repaired it in two hours.

We repair leaks in pool walls or floors by draining and resurfacing, which takes one to two days.

We use tools like pressure testing and sensors to find underground leaks, which can add time. In Florida, we repaired a plumbing leak under concrete in four hours.

We detect and fix equipment leaks quickly, usually within one to three hours. It’s crucial to fix leaks early, as they can cause significant damage to your property if left untreated.

We locate and repair hidden leaks, like those under decks or deep in plumbing, in one to three days. In Fort Lauderdale, we fixed a leak under a concrete deck in three days.

We repair minor cracks or equipment issues within a few hours.

Structural cracks or major plumbing problems take several days to fix.

We spend more time repairing in-ground pools due to their complexity. In Cooper City, we took two days to excavate and replace damaged pipes in an in-ground pool.

Pools with features like fountains or waterfalls require more time to repair due to the added complexity of their plumbing systems. In Boca Raton, we spent three days fixing a pool with a built-in waterfall because of the additional plumbing involved.

Just like with pool leak repairs, MasterTouch Outdoor Living understands the importance of addressing issues promptly. Specializing in pool construction and maintenance, they ensure that outdoor spaces, especially those with features like pools and waterfalls, are designed for long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance. Their expertise in pool decks, landscaping, and hardscaping guarantees a smooth process from design through to installation.

“Pool leaks aren’t a one-size-fits-all problem,” says James Anderson, a pool repair expert with over 20 years of experience. “The type and location of the leak, as well as the pool’s features, all play significant roles in determining how long repairs will take.”

Average Time to Repair Pool Leaks

Minor Leaks: These repairs are quick and generally non-invasive. After identifying the source of the leak, the repair can often be completed the same day. When a customer noticed a small crack in their pool’s tile line, our team quickly sealed it within two hours, restoring the pool to full function by the end of the day.

Moderate Leaks: Moderate leaks that involve some excavation, surface repair, or plumbing replacement typically require a full day to repair. Sometimes, repairs extend into the next day if additional testing or equipment is needed.

For example, in Fort Lauderdale, we repaired a plumbing leak near the pool’s filter. We finished the excavation and replacement within a day, but additional testing and adjustments meant the project lasted an extra half-day.

Severe Leaks: Large or complex leaks, especially those requiring excavation, resurfacing, or complete plumbing system repairs, can take several days to complete.

For instance, a pool had a major structural crack that required draining the pool and resurfacing the shell. The job took us four full days to complete, including thorough inspections and repairs.
