Skimmer Replacement
Cracked, leaking, or broken skimmers replaced and tied back into the shell
A premium take on skimmer replacement
Skimmers are the most common leak point on a gunite pool in North Texas. Clay soil moves, the deck shifts, and the skimmer body cracks at the throat or the joint with the shell. Fonseca Pools cuts out the failed skimmer, replaces it with a new body, re-plumbs the suction line, and rebuilds the concrete around it so the throat is sealed to the shell and the deck is patched cleanly. If you're also replastering, this is the time to do it, since the pool is already drained.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
