Four leaking floor jets in one pool
Four separate leaks in one pool — and every one of them turned out to be a failed glue joint on a floor jet fitting.
We pinpointed all four before anything was opened up. Fixing them meant draining the pool, cutting the plaster away from each fitting and demoing into the shell to reach it. All four fittings came out and new ones went in, then every jet was waterproofed with hydraulic cement before the plaster went back. The close-up of the cut-out fitting shows exactly what we were chasing: a failed glue joint, leaking quietly inside the shell.
The repair, step by step
-
01
Pool drained and opened up — all four jets done in one visit. -
02
Plaster cut away and the shell demoed to reach the fitting. -
03
The old fitting cut out, leaving the riser to plumb onto. -
04
The reason for the leaks — you can see the bare spots inside this joint where the glue failed. -
05
New fittings installed. -
06
Capped and set while the next one was cut out. -
07
Every penetration waterproofed with hydraulic cement. -
08
Plaster patched back, and the jet sitting flush again.

Electronic listening pinpoints underground leaks to within inches — so we can do targeted excavation instead of full re-routes. These photos show the difference.
