Four leaking floor jets in one pool
Four separate leaks in one pool — and every one of them turned out to be a failed glue joint on a floor jet fitting. We pinpointed all four before anything was opened up.…

Four separate leaks in one pool — and every one of them turned out to be a failed glue joint on a floor jet fitting. We pinpointed all four before anything was opened up.…
Read the full breakdownThis New Smyrna Beach spa was losing water through a cracked venturi fitting on one of its therapy jets — buried in the ground beneath a concrete deck the owner had just had resurfaced.…
Read the full breakdownThis commercial pool was losing a large volume of water through a break in its return line — the plumbing that feeds the jets. We pinpointed the break to a tee serving one of…
Read the full breakdownWe cut away the tile & beam to access spa therapy jet air line, entombed in concrete. The homeowner still had the original tile so we were able to rebuild the concrete, re-set the…
Read the full breakdownThe culprit? A failed glue joint on the vacuum line, tucked right beneath its valve at the equipment pad. Once we pinpointed it, we cut out the compromised section and replumbed the elbow…

Read the full breakdownUnfortunately, cracked wall fittings are commonplace in acrylic and fiberglass shells. Because these shells are so thin compared to a gunite pool, the rigid fitting becomes a leverage point — so when the pipe…
Read the full breakdownThis pool's bond beam had developed a small crack in the corner — most likely the result of deck settling putting pressure and stress on that spot. We demoed out the damaged section while…
Read the full breakdownOne of the most common leaks we find: a failed grout joint at the skimmer's mouth, where it meets the tile.
Read the full breakdownThe skimmer's brittle body had cracked in multiple places, causing significant water loss. We repaired it by carefully removing the coping, deck tile, and water line tile, then chipping out the old fixture. We…

Read the full breakdownThis is a cool main drain design — but along the seam where the round mold meets the shell, we found an unusual structural crack and delamination that was actively leaking and needed to…
Read the full breakdownThis 4-ft sheer descent waterfall — nestled into the top of the beam and partially into the planter bed — had grown brittle over time, eventually developing leaks along its manufacturing mold seams. The…

Shell cracks, Equipment pad, Lights — we've done this work, it just isn't photographed to casebook standard yet. These categories will appear here as soon as the first job is documented.
Every image is from an actual Advanced Leak Detection East Coast job. Client identifying details — addresses, house numbers, visible landscaping — are redacted or cropped out per our standard confidentiality practice, but the pool work itself is documented exactly as performed.
Please note: this casebook focuses on our major detection and repair projects. Minor, on-the-spot repairs aren't documented in the same detail, so what you see here represents a selection of our more significant completed work.
