Pool Repair Winnipeg

Get Hosed On Your Winnipeg Jets Tickets, Not Your Pool Repair

We get it. You have other things to spend money on, and you should never feel guilty about what those things are. Even if one of those things is Nickelback’s full discography on vinyl. We don’t judge. That’s why when there’s something wrong with your pool, we’ll look for ways to repair it rather than incurring the extra cost of a replacement. Whether it’s coping, pool stairs, your pool liner, equipment, or anything else surrounding your watery nexus of summer fun, we’ll repair it before we replace it - and of course we’ll advise you on when a replacement is completely necessary too.

Our services include, but aren’t limited to, the following:

Coping repair
Diagnosing and repairing leaks

We also specialize in inspection reports and assessments for insurance claims.

It’s tough to diagnose problems with a pool on your own, and trying can be an exercise in frustration for anyone who doesn’t work with pools every day.

With over 45 years in the industry and specializing in pool repairs and renovations, there is no better choice in Winnipeg for your pool repairs than us.

We’ll Do It Underwater! Repair Your Pool, We Mean. What Were You Thinking?

We started out in the business just doing underwater pool repairs, and grew from there. Our trained on-staff divers are able to perform just about any repair underwater, allowing you to save money on chemicals and the water truck. We can locate damage and pool liner holes and often perform repairs on the same day.

Our divers are equipped with scuba gear and specialized underwater vinyl adhesive to allow them to easily repair your liner. When our divers are inspecting your pool liner, they cover every square inch of it, along with your gaskets, skimmer, jets, lights, and main drain - which will help you figure out what may need an immediate fix and what can wait.

A Leaky Pool Is No Joke Because Of What It Can Cost You

If you are losing water through even the smallest of holes, you risk:

Additional damage to your pool liner and pool walls over time if the leak is from a hole
Losing the chemicals you add to your pool, increasing pool maintenance costs
Requiring constant water refills

Leaks can happen through faulty pipes, holes in the liner, or both. The general rule is that if you are running your garden hose to fill your pool for more than an hour a week, you’ve probably got a leaky pool. We come equipped with the latest electronic leak detection equipment which can help us find and patch your leaks immediately.

It was a pleasure dealing with Dale Kreviazuk. Dale and his crew were courteous and in a good frame of mind during the installation of my new pool liner. The complete process went smoothly and the crew did an excellent job. Dale also went out of his way to locate a very hard to find vinyl snap cap cover for my 30 year old aluminum coping.

Joseph Krutish

Pool Renovation Sept 2013 – Called 5 companies, all came out. Received quotes from 3, nothing from other 2. Out of the 3 that gave quotes, which were all pretty close in price, I felt Dale from UV pools explained exactly what needed to be done, how he was going to do it and when the job would be done. Well, no surprises, the crew showed up when Dale said they would, they were professional and very knowledgeable, cleaned up everything when they were done. My wife and are completely satisfied with the renovation, our 28 year old pool looks like brand new. I have also given UV Pools permission for customers with questions, to feel free to give me a call in regards to my renovation and or UV Pools workmanship. Thanks to the crew & Dale for a job well done.

Jeff & Marilyn Sippel

Frank was just here installing the necessary pieces for our UV light. He did a great job, and was pleasant, as always 🙂

Kelly Moore

Your guys just left, cheque in hand, and I just wanted to mention what a pleasant guy Brandon is. He went over the operation, took his time, very professional. I have recommended your company several times, based on the work you guys did on my pool 2 years ago, and now this cover, and I will not hesitate to use and recommend your crew in future as well. Cheers,

Scott & Susan Lougheed

We highly recommend Dale and his team at UV Pools if you need your in-ground professionally refurbished! Having sought a few estimates, we felt Dale was the only one we could trust to deliver on his promises and he did! He is a total pro whose hands-on, personalized service was very much appreciated!

Reg & Barbara Giesbrecht

Dale Kreviazuk is very credible and the company's workmanship is excellent. I felt very comfortable and trusting dealing with such a nice personable young man. No question was too many and his answers were always honest.

Allan & Deb Rosky

What a great job by Dale and his crew. From his suggestion as to the type and style of liner right down to the clean up....a fantastic job. Great value for the cost. We needed our liner replaced and some work done on the obsolete beauty strip. From the time Frank and his son showed up to remove the liner and Dale turning the pump on when the pool was full...watching them work was a pleasure, knowing that the end product would be well worth the cost and future enjoyment. The grandkids could hardly wait to splash around in the new pool.

Henry & Susan Sobczak

UVPools did a liner replacement for me two years ago after it tore during the previous winter. Of the four companies I called for quotes on the repair job, two didn't show. Dale came the next day and his quote was half the only other one I got. I found Dale and his team great to deal with, and I can't say enough good things about the quality and speed of their work. My pool was back up and running a couple of weeks later and it looks better than it did when I bought the house. I would hire UV Pools again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pool repair work done.

The work was done quickly, cleanly and with no surprises. We love the UV filter and have found it has significantly improved our water quality and reduced the amount of labour and almost completely eliminated our need for chemicals. Very happy with Dale and the crews.

Wanda Bretecher

We realized this spring that our pool liner had a serious leak and, since it was old, would need to be replaced. We were planning to list our house for sale and so, we were dismayed when we learned that it would take four weeks to order a new pool liner. Dale committed to try to expedite the time-line and he really came through for us. The liner was installed in three weeks and the job was done professionally and efficiently. Based on our experience, we highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a pool liner replaced.

Ernie Boschmann

Dale & his team installed our pool liner summer 2015 . Very professional and knowledgeable. Unfortunately our liner had a manufacturers defect . Dale had a diver out right away to patch the rip. The liner needed to be replace and UV Pools replaced it after the swimming season at no extra cost to us . Great job and I would recommend them for any pool job needed.

Bryan Malo

As soon as Dale got the call to go ahead with the pool liner replacement he had the whole crew get it done in record time. There were some special considerations with repairs and moving skimmers . The pool is so much better to manage with the suggestions and changes. Thanks all around to Dale , his family and everyone for getting this extra big job done pronto and it looks Fantastic!! Thankfully last summer 2015 was a long hot one and we really enjoyed a lot of swim time late into fall! 5 Stars!!!!!

Marian Krezanski

Highly pleased with the caliber and details of the workmanship. the sanding of the steel liner removing any rust, preparation(levelling) of the sand bed for the liner, placement of the coping and installation of the liner all which required special skills. I appreciated their advice and recommendations for thedeck around the pool. Elevating it by using foam rather than removing it and replacing with new concrete, as one pool firm had suggested. The cost of the elevation technique was about half that of the removal and replacement procedure... The costs for the coping and liner from other pool stores was significantly higher than from UV Pools -in one quote almost double

Semeon Hrushovetz

Dale and his crew did an exceptional job of re-doing our pool. It looks like a brand new pool. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, as well as very meticulous and precise in their workmanship. Price wise, UV Pools came in more reasonable than other estimates, of which Dale was the only one who did a personal free estimate, unlike the others who either wanted a commitment or deposit before coming out and only gave us a "phone" estimate. UV Pools is a Class A operation and highly recommended. Dale and his crew are #1 in our book.

Gerhard & Darlene Nickel

We were very happy to find UV Pools and even more impressed after our first encounter with Dale. He was quick to come out and speak with us, listen to our needs & wants, offer his professional opinions and was quick to respond with detailed quote we could understand. Dale & his crew were equally as professional when it came to getting down to the task at hand with the tear out and re-build of our space. The team was respectful, courteous and available thru the entire project. Quality workmanship and commitment to a quality product was evident. Our pool is amazing! UV Pools were exceptional and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

Trevor & Keri Joss

We would like to thank-you and your team for the professional and efficient work completed to replace our pool liner, install stairs and get our pool back in operation just in time for Canada Day. We appreciate the extra care taken to minimize any impact to our yard by ensuring that concrete, mud and debris did not damage our lawn (plus saving the perennials that needed to be removed so we could re-locate them!) and cleaning up after the job was done. It was also an extra bonus that they replaced our neighbour's sandbox with the clean sand that was leftover. You have a great team who work very efficiently together and get the work completed as quickly as possible without compromising on quality workmanship. Please pass this message on to everyone involved. We are enjoying our pool again and love the new stairs! Thanks so much,

Scott & Michelle Rivard

Our whole experience was absolutely wonderful! Dale answered all of our questions during our pool renovation project and even touched base with us after installation was complete. We appreciate how patient he was and how quickly he returned our calls, texts and emails! We had our liner replaced, new skimmer system, brand-new stair, pool wall repair, pool sump well installation and new ruba-roc patio installed! We were so impressed how quick everything took and how it completely transformed our backyard into an oasis! Dale's team was friendly, patient, hard-working and overall just fantastic! They efficiently cleaned up when they were done and we couldn't be happier with our new backyard! We would recommend anyone who is looking for an amazing pool-reno company to go with UV pools, hands down! Thanks Dale and your team for all your hard work this summer!

Mike & Nadia Cantafio

UV Pools was introduced to us by our insurance underwriter. She explained UV Pools had done work for her before, and her customers reported they were always pleased with the work. As a result of her recommendation, and Dale's prompt reply to providing a quote, it didn't take long for the work to begin. As we learned, Dale's Dad (Sam) remembered building our rather unique pool 18 years ago, and worked well with his son in making sure other recommended repairs, over and above the claim, were promptly attended to. Dale, Sam, and the rest of their expert team did a beautiful job of restoring our pool, on budget, on time, and in a very clean, efficient and friendly manner. I recommend them to pool owners who are looking for nothing but the "best of the best".

Rita Bergen

We've used UV Pools twice now. The first was for a liner, jets, light, filter and chlorinator replacement. The old liner disintegrated in the spring and Dale's team had us swimming in mid-June. Very professional crew who did a fabulous job and we are thrilled with the results. The second time was when I detected a leak in a return line which was fixed in two days, again very fast professional service. We would absolutely recommend UV Pools!

Mark & Ann Poole

I am in the service industry myself, and I told Dale that the professionalism, response time to any inquiries, and the cleaning after the job was 110% to our satisfaction. I will definitely recommend UVPools to anyone I talk to who needs a new liner (I have already told one prospective client about your great service!).

Sean & Shannon Kavitch

We highly recommend Dale and his team at UV Pools if you need your in-ground professionally refurbished! Having sought a few estimates, we felt Dale was the only one we could trust to deliver onhis promises and he did! He is a total pro whose hands-on, personalized service was very much appreciated!

FAQs

My pool is leaking, should I drain it?

If you have a vinyl lined pool, the answer is NO. Draining your pool causes your liner to shrink and put undue stress on it once it is refilled with water. Our divers can fix your problem underwater. Contact us today

My pool liner has fallen down out of the coping or track?

This can almost always be repaired using liner lock. The pool liner will have to be stretched back into the track and then secured with liner lock. There is a chance that the liner can tear during this process but only if it is very brittle.

My pool water is dirty; can the liner still be repaired underwater?

The answer is most cases is no. The diver will need to visually see your pool liner to check for leaks and make a quality repair. Your pool should be cleaned up before the diver arrives.

My pool concrete deck is cracked, can it be fixed?

Yes. Patching, replacing sections or replacing the complete deck requires us to have a look at it. Email or call to set up a free estimate.

Should I leave my leaking swimming pool over winter?

No, if the liner or pipes can be fixed before the snow flies, you will be saving yourself a huge headache come spring time. Leaking water left over winter can cause pipes to crack, soften pool bases, crack concrete and even push in pool walls.

Why are there bubbles coming out of my pool jets in my pool?

This is a common problem and is a result of air being sucked into the pool plumbing. There are lots of places for entry but 90% of the time it is from the skimmer or the pumps strainer basket cover. If the pool water level is low or the flappy thing (called the weir) in the skimmer throat is stuck, this will cause air bubbles in your pool. Check the pump strainer basket O-ring for cracks by stretching it or bending it. Also, make sure the sealing faces where the O-ring sits are clean. You can also check the winterizing plugs on the pump to make sure the seals are not cracked on those as well. You can use silicone on the winterizing plug even with a dried out seal. If you have tried these steps and the air bubbles continue, you may require a pressure test to check your pool plumbing for leaks. Contact us today!

My swimming pool pump is leaking?

Pumps usually leak around seals or connections. If the pump seals are leaking, the water will usually make its way into the motor or drip out the bottom. This usually results in rusted bearings and eventually a noisy, seized pump. If the pool pump connections are leaking, it is typically the pressure side which comes out of the top of the pump. This is usually caused from the threaded in fitting warping from heat and freeze/thaw in Winnipeg or improper sealing and/or undersized fittings originally. The best fix is to unscrew the fitting (which usually involves removing clamps or quick couplers) and replace with a PVC fitting. The threads are tapered and should tighten before they bottom out. We use silicone to seal the threads and teflon tape. If there are too many connections and pipes that need replacing you can call us and we can help you.

My winter blanket has fallen and collapsed into my swimming pool, what does that indicate?

This usually means that your pool has lost water over the winter or the liner could have ripped in the spring time. It is best to have it checked out by professionals.

My Pool Filter Is Not Cleaning Properly?

Your filter may need to be backwashed in the case of a sand filter or your pump may need to run for a longer duration daily. With a cartridge filter your cartridges may need to be cleaned or your chemicals may be out of balance. Cloudy pool water is usually an early indicator of algae formation however; cloudy water can be caused from a lot of factors. Too high ph, bad pool circulation, not enough chlorine, too high calcium are a few common reasons. With proper pool chemistry a UV pool sanitation system can help maintain your pool and make it more enjoyable and healthier to swim in.

My pool liner is ripped and torn after winter, what should I do?

Often times a torn or ripped vinyl pool liner is caused from ice damage over winter. We have a department that repairs rips in liners. Contact us to review your options.

Why won’t my pool pump prime?

If you pool pump is not priming either your skimmer is plugged, you have not enough water in skimmer/pool basket or it can be plugged with leaves and debris, may have air leaks in suction lines, your pump is elevated above the pool water level taking longer to prime, or the valve on the front of your pump may be leaking air.
Cartridge Filter: To clean a cartridge filter, remove the filters, soak in a cleaning solution then hose off or pressure wash (on low pressure so filter pleats do not tear). Your goal is to clean between the pleats of the cartridge filter paper elements. Before cleaning either types of filter, always remember to shut off your heater/pump, drain out the water, and close all valves before removing the filter head.

My pool liner is floating, what should I do?

Keep your pool full of water. Rain, run-off water, or a leaky pool liner can float your pool liner. Excess rain water that has floated your liner will eventually soak into the ground and your liner will go back down. If your pool has been losing water prior to your liner floating, then it is likely that a pool leak is causing your liner to float. The problem should get fixed as soon as possible and that will cure the liner floating problem. Most likely your liner has a hole in it or your underground pipes could be leaking (less common). We specialize in vinyl liner repair even under water!
