Overview
The skimmer is one of the most common — and most overlooked — sources of pool leaks. Over time the connection between the skimmer throat and the pool shell separates, and faceplates and gaskets fail. The pool will lose water down to the skimmer level and then stop, which is a classic sign. We repair or replace the skimmer and reseal it correctly.
Common Problems & Signs
- Water stops dropping right at the skimmer mouth
- Visible crack between the skimmer and the pool wall
- Cracked skimmer body or throat
- Loose or leaking faceplate
Common Causes
- Ground movement separating the skimmer from the shell
- Age and freeze-thaw cracking
- Failed gaskets and faceplate seals
How We Do It

Seal and verify
We reseal connections and verify the waterline holds.

Skimmer Repair & Replacement FAQs
Why does my pool stop leaking at a certain level?
When water loss stops at the skimmer mouth, the leak is almost always in the skimmer throat or faceplate. We confirm with dye testing and repair it.
Can a cracked skimmer be repaired or does it need replacing?
It depends on the damage. A separated throat can often be resealed, but a cracked skimmer body usually needs full replacement. We recommend only what's necessary.
