Swimming Pool Repairs & Leak Detection Sandton
An undetected pipe leak or failing pump setup can quickly sink surrounding paving and ruin your water quality.
Morrisens Projects delivers fast, practical swimming pool repairs across Sandton through our specialist division, Morrisens Pools. We handle all pool issues—from underground pipe cracks on large properties to complete pump room overhauls.
We do non-invasive leak testing, structural crack stitching, underground pipe repairs, skimmer box fixes, and pump/filter servicing.
We service Bryanston, Morningside, River Club, Sandhurst, Hyde Park, Inanda, Atholl, Fourways, Lonehill, and Woodmead.
Finding the Real Cause of the Problem
Uncovering where your pool is losing water requires step-by-step testing.
A dropping water line isn’t always caused by a visible crack in the wall. Often, water escapes through underground return pipes, split suction lines beneath paving, bad light fittings, or worn skimmer seals.
We test your pool equipment, structure, and underground plumbing so we know exactly what to fix.
Leak Detection & Pressure Testing
If your pool is losing more water than normal daily evaporation, getting it checked early stops damage to your paving foundation.
We pressure-test isolated plumbing circuits to pinpoint leaks accurately:
- Main drains and suction pipes
- Return lines pushing water to wall jets
- Underground PVC pipes under stone paving or grass
- Skimmer boxes and throat seals
- Return jet housings and fittings
Once located, we complete targeted repairs with minimal impact to your surrounding garden or paving.
Save Your Pool Water During Repairs
Major pipe replacements or structural crack repairs often require draining the pool completely.
When you hire Morrisens Projects for qualifying repair work, we supply a heavy-duty temporary water bladder at no extra charge. We pump your existing treated water into the bladder on site and hold it safely while repairs are underway.
Once repairs are complete, your original water goes straight back in—saving water and preserving your chemical balance.
Structural Crack Stitching & Reinforcement
Ground expansion and big tree roots across Sandton properties often put heavy stress on concrete pool walls, causing deep cracks.
Patching over structural cracks with plaster is a short-term fix that fails as soon as ground movement happens again.
Steel Staple Crack Stitching
Where structural strength is compromised, we cut slots across the crack and anchor heavy steel staples in epoxy resin. This locks the concrete together so the wall cannot shift or open up again.
Surface Plaster Repairs
For non-structural surface hairline cracks, we cut back loose plaster and apply high-bonding waterproof render plaster.
Skimmer Box & Underground Line Restorations
A cracked skimmer box can lose thousands of liters a day without showing a huge wet patch right away.
We carry out specialized underground repairs including:
- Excavating and replacing cracked skimmer boxes
- Replacing split elbow fittings under concrete or stone paving
- Upgrading damaged PVC suction pipes
- Rerouting lines around tree roots
Pool Pump, Filter & Electrical Repairs
Your pump setup needs to work properly to keep your water clear and healthy.
We repair everyday equipment faults:
- Pump motor failure, overheating, or capacitor replacement
- Leaking shaft seals underneath the pump
- Cracked filter tanks or broken internal laterals
- Leaking multiport valves (water wasting down the backwash line)
- Pumps sucking air or losing prime constantly
Filter Sand Replacement
If your pool water stays cloudy even when running the pump, your filter sand is probably smooth and worn out. We strip out old sand and fill the tank with fresh silica sand or glass media.
Signs Your Sandton Pool Needs Service
Reach out if you notice any of these typical signs:
- Water level drops more than 5mm to 7mm a day
- Wet soil, moss, or sinking paving near the pool edge
- Air bubbles streaming continuously through wall jets
- Pump motor making screeching or loud grinding noises
- Sand blowing into the pool floor from return jets
- Cracks through coping stones, tile bands, or plaster walls
