Pool Skimmer Repair in Allen, TX
Skimmer leaks are one of the most common pool problems we see in Allen—and one of the most overlooked. The skimmer is where a plastic body meets your concrete or gunite pool shell, and that junction is under constant stress from soil movement, temperature changes, and chemical exposure. When it fails, water escapes directly into the ground.
At Mr. Pool Leak Repair, skimmer repairs are one of our most frequent services throughout Allen and Collin County. Established Allen neighborhoods like Twin Creeks have pools now reaching 20-25 years old—prime age for skimmer seal failure. Years of clay soil movement have taken their toll on original skimmer installations.
Signs Your Skimmer Is Leaking
- Water level drops to the skimmer and stops. This is the classic indicator. If your pool loses water until it reaches the bottom of the skimmer opening and then stabilizes, the skimmer is almost certainly the source.
- Visible separation at the skimmer throat. Look where the skimmer body meets the pool wall. Any gap, crack, or separation—even a small one—likely allows water to escape.
- Debris getting sucked into cracks. You may see tiny bits of dirt or debris being pulled into the separation point, confirming active water flow through the gap.
- Air bubbles in the pump. If the skimmer seal has failed both below and above the waterline, air can enter the system, causing bubbles at return jets.
Skimmer Repair Options
Skimmer Reseal
For leaks at the skimmer throat, resealing is often sufficient. We remove old sealant, clean surfaces thoroughly, and apply professional-grade sealant designed to withstand pool chemicals and soil movement. This is the most common repair when the skimmer body itself is sound.
Skimmer Line Repair
Sometimes the leak is not at the skimmer but in the underground plumbing connecting it to your equipment. We pressure test skimmer lines to identify if and where they are leaking, then repair or replace damaged sections.
Skimmer Replacement
When the skimmer body itself is cracked, warped, or too deteriorated to reseal, replacement is the best option. We remove the old skimmer, set a new one properly, and seal it to the pool shell for a lasting repair.

Do Not Ignore a Skimmer Leak

Skimmer repairs are straightforward when caught early—waiting only increases the damage and expense.
