Pool Leak Detection in Pembroke Pines, FL (Leakalyzer® Verified + 90-Day Warranty)
Pembroke Pines • Broward County • “Pool leak detection near me” specialist
Why Pembroke Pines Pools Develop Leaks
Soil movement, irrigation moisture, and aging plumbing put pressure on fittings and niches. If your pool is losing more than about ¼″ per day, it’s time to test and verify with data — not guesses.
- Skimmers, returns, and light niches are common sources
- Main drains/sumps and suction lines (vacuum) also fail over time
- Equipment pad fittings & unions can weep unnoticed
🎥 Real Job in Pembroke Pines — Failed Epoxy at Pool Light Niche
A previous company patched a leaking light niche with epoxy only — the quick, cheap method. Epoxy takes hours to fully cure; water pressure and movement can shift it before it hardens, so leaks reappear. I removed the failed epoxy and used butyl tape instead, then Leakalyzer® verification confirmed water level stability.
Preferred method for light niches: Butyl tape (serviceable, flexible seal) → optional epoxy overlay when appropriate.
Butyl Tape vs. Epoxy for Light Niches (Why We Prefer Butyl)
- Serviceable: Butyl remains workable; future light swaps don’t become a nightmare.
- Conforms & seals: Cold-flow properties create a watertight seal around irregular edges.
- Pressure friendly: Doesn’t rely on long cure times; resists movement while sealing.
- Protects wiring: Avoids encasing conduits in rock-hard epoxy that can trap cords.
When needed, I’ll add a 5-minute hardener to stabilize a crack instantly, then apply a thin epoxy overlay for added protection — the right sequence, not epoxy alone.
