SIX7 PLUMBING
SIX7 Plumbing Pool Plumbing Repair Colombo
Half of "pool leaks" aren't leaks — they're evaporation. We bucket-test before quoting anything, then fix what's real with chemical-rated parts.
A bucket test takes 24 hours and ends most pool leak quotes before they start. Fill a bucket, mark the water line, set it on the pool step, compare the drop in the bucket to the drop in the pool. If the pool drops more, there's a leak; if they match, it's evaporation and your pool service's chemistry is off. We do the bucket test before we pressure-test a single line, because quoting a leak that isn't there wastes everyone's time.
When the leak is real, it's usually at fittings and skimmers, not the shell. Chlorine eats standard fittings quietly; by the time a skimmer weeps, the line fittings behind it are usually next in line. Pool plumbing gets chemical-rated parts or it fails again inside a season — there is no middle option that lasts. Water chemistry is your pool service's job; plumbing is ours. We don't blur that line, and we won't sell you chemicals to fix a fitting.

Common Pool Plumbing Repair Issues We Fix
Losing water beyond normal splash
If your pool is losing water faster than splash and evaporation explain, you likely have a leak. We bucket-test first.
Weak return jets
Weak return jets usually mean a restriction in the line or a failing pump. We pressure-test and diagnose.
Pump losing prime
A pump that loses prime has an air leak on the suction side. We trace and seal the leak point.
Leaking skimmer or fitting
A leaking skimmer loses water at the fitting. We seal or replace the skimmer with chemical-rated parts.
How We Fix It
Diagnosis
We pressure-test suction and return lines separately to find the leak before touching the deck.
Quote
The quote separates plumbing repair from tile or deck work - you approve each scope on its own.
Repair
We cut out the failed fitting or pipe, solvent-weld the replacement and rebuild the junction properly.
Verify
We run the pump, watch the gauge settle and show you the holding pressure before backfilling.
"Pool plumbing ends with a pressure and bucket test — chemical-rated fittings only, and no sign-off until the water holds level overnight."
