Swimming Pool Repairs & Leak Detection Midrand
Is your pool dropping water, drawing air, or showing cracks in the marbelite? Getting it checked early stops a small leak from turning into a massive repair job down the line.
Morrisens Projects handles all types of swimming pool repairs across Midrand through our specialist division, Morrisens Pools. Whether your pump has lost prime, your underground pipes are leaking under the paving, or the pool shell has cracked, we find the root cause and fix it properly.
We repair pipe leaks, stitch structural cracks, overhaul pool pumps, replace filter sand, and fix main drains.
We work in Kyalami, Carlswald, Waterfall Estate, Vorna Valley, Halfway House, Blue Hills, Crowthorne, Country View, Noordwyk, and Barbeque Downs.
Finding the Real Cause of the Leak
Before we chop up any paving or dig around your pool, we find out exactly where the water is going.
A pool that keeps dropping water doesn’t always have a crack in the wall. Very often, water escapes through an underground return pipe, a broken skimmer box, or a cracked line under the ground.
We test your pool’s plumbing lines step-by-step so we only dig where we need to.
Leak Detection & Pressure Testing
If you find yourself constantly running the hose to top up the pool, you have a leak.
Where needed, we run pressure tests on isolated pipes to find underground leaks under your paving or lawn:
- Suction lines from the skimmer box and main drain
- Return jet lines pushing water back to the pool
- Underground PVC pipes
- Skimmer boxes and throat seals
- Aim-flow fittings and housing seals
Once located, we dig neatly, replace the split section, and close it up properly.
Save Your Pool Water During Repairs
Draining a pool to fix a structural crack or main line doesn’t mean throwing all that water down the drain.
When you hire Morrisens Projects for qualifying repair work, we bring out a heavy-duty temporary water bladder at no extra cost. We pump your existing pool water into the bladder and store it safely on site while we complete the repairs.
When the repair is done, your original water goes straight back into the pool. This saves you money on municipal water bills and keeps your water chemically balanced.
Water bladder storage is included at no extra cost whenever repair work requires draining the pool.
Structural Crack Stitching & Shell Repairs
Ground movement in Midrand’s clay soil often puts stress on pool walls, causing deep structural cracks.
Simply putting a layer of plaster over a crack won’t hold—it will just open up again when the ground shifts.
Steel Staple Crack Stitching
For deep structural cracks, we cut slots across the crack and anchor heavy-duty steel staples in structural epoxy. This locks the two sides of the concrete together so the crack doesn’t move or open up again.
Surface Plaster Repairs
If the crack is only in the marbelite plaster layer, we cut back the loose plaster and re-apply a high-bonding repair plaster cleanly.
Pool Pump, Filter & Equipment Repairs
Your pump and sand filter keep your water clear. When mechanical parts wear out, your pool turns green fast.
We fix everyday equipment issues like:
- Pump motor screeching or humming loudly
- Leaking pump shaft seals
- Pumps losing prime or drawing air
- Cracks in sand filter tanks or leaking multiport valves
- Weak flow returning to the pool jets
Filter Sand Replacement
Over time, filter sand gets smooth and clumped up, letting dirt pass right through back into the pool. We strip out the old sand and replace it with fresh silica sand or glass media so your pool stays crystal clear.
Signs Your Midrand Pool Needs Attention
Get in touch if you notice any of these signs:
- Water level drops more than 5mm a day (outside normal summer evaporation)
- Damp paving or wet garden patches near the pool
- Air bubbles streaming through the wall jets
- Pool stays cloudy even after shock treatment
- Pump motor sounds noisy or keeps cutting out
- Cracks in the plaster, waterline tiles, or coping

When to Consider a Full Renovation
