The skimmer is one of the most common sites of pool water loss — and one of the most frequently overlooked. Cracks in the skimmer body, deteriorated throat gaskets, failed putty around the faceplate, or a separated skimmer-to-shell connection can all result in steady water loss that is often mistaken for evaporation. Pipe Leak Detection Pros uses dye testing and visual inspection protocols to identify leaks at all skimmer components in pools throughout Sherman Oaks, CA.
Our technicians introduce non-toxic red or blue dye near the skimmer throat, return fittings, and any visible cracks in the skimmer body while the pump is off. If a leak is present, the dye stream is drawn toward the defect and reveals the exact point of water entry. We document all findings photographically before recommending a repair pathway.
Minor skimmer leaks are often repairable with hydraulic putty, two-part epoxy, or replacement gaskets and faceplates — straightforward fixes that prevent far more expensive structural damage to the surrounding shell. For leaks at the skimmer-to-shell bond line, we outline the scope of work clearly so homeowners understand their options before any repair begins.
