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:

diagnosing and repairing leaks
pool liner repairs

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

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.

  UV pools is a fantastic choice for your pool reno. We had a tired liner to be replaced and they ensured everything was in working order, walked us through all our options or add-ons and were always quick to respond to any communication, even post install. When crews were on site they were quick, respectful and even went above and beyond to help me fix a related issue that was not in the project scope. This is who you want to do your pool - I'm so happy with mine and my experience!

  When we opened our pool we discovered there was a leak somewhere. We called a couple of pool companies and UV Pools responded quickly despite the busy time of year. We spoke to Julie who was very helpful. She arranged to have a technician come out quickly and they were able to solve our problem! We really appreciate the prompt and courteous service and highly recommend them if you need help with your pool. Mark and Roberta

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. 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!
