Pool leak repair
Pool light leak repair
Pool lights sit in a niche set into the pool wall, and water can escape around the niche or through the conduit that carries the light cord. Pro Pool Team dye tests the light niche and conduit, finds the leak, and seals it.

Signs your pool light is leaking
- The water level drops and then stops around the top of the pool light.
- Dye is drawn into the back of the light niche or the conduit opening.
- Water or moisture shows up in the light's junction box.
Why pool lights leak
The light niche is a metal or plastic housing set into the shell, with a conduit running from the back of the niche to a junction box on the deck. The seal around the niche and the seal inside the conduit can break down over time, letting pool water travel out through the conduit or around the niche.
How we repair pool light leaks
- Sealing the conduit at the back of the light niche.
- Sealing the gap between the niche and the pool shell.
- Recommending light or niche replacement when parts are worn out.
Pool lights involve electrical components. We work under our Florida contractor license and recommend a licensed electrician for any electrical repairs to the light itself.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my pool stop losing water at the light?
If the water drops and then stops near the top of the light, the leak is often at the light niche or its conduit. Once the water falls below that point, it has nowhere to escape.
Is a leaking pool light dangerous?
Water traveling through the conduit can reach the junction box. Have it checked and turn off the light circuit if you see water in the box.
Do I need a new light to fix the leak?
Not usually. Most light leaks are sealed at the niche or conduit. We recommend replacement only when parts are worn out.
