Skimmer throat repair in Cape Coral

Our repair crew rebuilt a leaking skimmer throat on a Cape Coral pool. The pool only had to come down about 1,000 gallons, and it was ready to refill the next day.

Draining below the skimmer

The crew lowered the water just below the skimmer, about 1,000 gallons, so they could work on the throat dry.

Opening the throat

They cut out the old skimmer throat, where the skimmer meets the pool wall. This is a common leak spot because the joint between the skimmer and the shell moves over time.

Sealing and rebuilding

The crew sealed and rebuilt the throat with hydraulic cement, then finished it with a coat of plaster to match the pool.

Refilling

After cleaning up the job site, the pool was ready to fill the next day.
